eBay is Evil

I can't do eBay. I just can't. When I post there, I become obsessed. Why are there no bids? Who are the "watchers"? I'll just check it one more time...one more time....one more time. What if nobody buys it? What if somebody buys it for way less than it is worth? What if the whole "free shipping" thing bites me in the rear?

In my previous forays into eBay I have always had a decent starting price. This time I started at $9.99 with no shipping. I thought I wanted to just see what would happen.

I swear my stomach is in knots.

Plus there is the other problem with eBay. I have a tendency to buy things when I am there. See the cool new boots I purchased? (I was planning on new ones anyway, since my others are 4 years old, so it really was a no harm done situation, but still!)

The swanky black ones with the comfy heel....can't wait!


The darling brown ones that are a little stretchy.
Well, that's enough of a rant for today. I will fight through this flu, accomplish what needs to be done, and take a nap.

Thanks for popping in!

Until next time, no sellers remorse!

  1. Oh Theresa I feel your ebay pain. You just said how I feel. I've been having more luck on esty. So I stopped listing on ebay but, then I thought well why not try agian. I have had only 1 sale there in the past 3 months but it keeps drawing me back in. I bought some vintage Halloween and Halloween art. Love your boots! And feel better! :) Becca
