    Default The Life & Times of eBay

    I'm sure a vast majority of us use eBay, or have done so in the past. It can be a frustrating temptress of misdirection and loss but can also make you laugh from time to time.

    The topic is to showcase anything people find in their browsing that may amuse or add to the disbelief some of us feel at times. Like mis-spelling the name of the product when it is written on the box etc. (Thats how I got my MISB Scorbonok )

    I shall kick it off with some feedback.

    I like to have a quick glance through a sellers feedback to gauge what sort of trader he or she is. I can across this one today.

    Neutral Feedback by buyer: got what i ask for i still think the item was too much

    Reply by seller: YOU bid that much, nobody forced you to!!! Are you serious?

    Just plain funny. Although not so funny as it permanently scars your account and makes people like me sift through and read.

    I look forward to seeing what else people have found.

    One of the earliest feedback comments I received was...

    "I wish I wish I didn't kill that Fish" & no, I didn't just make that up



    Make of that what you will...

    My personal favourite was when someone listed West Virginia on eBay. It got to $US20m, too, before it was pulled

    There's one born every minute...

    Seriously, that's good feedback, even if it does mean you do have your own eBay stalker!

    I could never call my woman my better half as I weigh more than double her.
