I do not use it much but I know heaps of people that do

Once I get on there I browse and browse for ages giving me less time for the forum so I tend to stay here instead ha

I did buy a bargain football thing for hubby once but that was ages ago

we haven't bought anything for a while but if the kids need phone chargers or headphones for their ipods that sort of thing then ebay is the first place i look for them and it's always the cheapest place too.

we've had some good bargains in the past and bought a load of crap too. we've sold quite a few things as well

I got Mitchell a pirate costume from ebay but to be honest I thought it was a bit of a rip off when it arrived.

Cost £20 and was so cheaply made, certainly wasn't worth the money I paid for it.
You can get some good stuff on there though, my son's forever getting things off it.

Glad to hear you got some bargains

I've had some bargains... and some stuff that didn't work, postage that was a total rip-off and buyers who disappear!

Decided not to buy anything big off there any more... you just don't have the same come-back as from a shop and you only spend a little bit more on the high street really. :D

I don't use it anywhere near as much as I used to.

Lots of the things on there you can buy cheaper in stores close by without the added postage!

Of course your clothes were real bargains though.

I tend to only go on there for something more unusual that's hard to find in shops and always check the sellers feedback.

I do use ebay, but not for clothes. But saying that, i got Caitlin 2 pairs of jeans, they were used but looked like new and they only cost £5 with the postage.

Sometimes, I think, once they have added on postage, is it really worth while as a second hand top could cost you about £5, when you can buy them in the shops new for 7 or £8.

But I agree if you look hard you can get some good bargins.

Maybe worth while looking for items that are nearest to you then you can pick them up and not pay for postage.

I love ebay!!!

In fact they noticed I hadnt been using my account very much recently and gave me a £10 voucher to use on anything I wanted to entice me back. Just bought Adele 19 for £9.99 so didnt cost me a penny! Pleased with that.

I have bought loads of stuff for Belle off ebay - some of it has come and been a dissapointment but some of the clothes I have bought have been brillaint bargains - especially the next bundles that people sell, have had some amazing quality stuff for a snippet of the price

I've used eBay a lot over the years, both buying and selling. I've also had my debit card swindled on eBay and some nutter in Germany tried to sell loads of electrical stuff using my account. My passwords were VERY secure too :angry:
