hi, my name is lobito, I'm an Ebay Addict as well.
Even though I've gotten screwed once or twice, most of the purchases have gone better than I expected them to go.
I have to say the worst thing about Ebay, is some of the obnoxious sellers, that expect you to contact them wihtin a certain amount of time, and they don't return emails to tell you where to send a check to. Then if you leave a neutral feedback on them becasue of NO communications on their part, they can make you life a living hell, because they can in turn leave NEGATIVE feedback on you, just because their assholes. Some people will just refuse to sell to you, because of one negative feedback out of many.
ok, I'm trough ranting now, thanks... this is a 12 step program right?
