Does anyone here use eBay?

I've bought a few things from the site but recently I've found some really good deals there. Which has resulted in me searching for other good deals there.

One thing I've learned.......do NOT bid on multiple items. You'll forget what - and how many - items you've bid on and that can cause all kinds of "issues". Especially when you get three email notices that you've "won" the items that were up for bid. Yes, all three of them!! They're things I will use but I wouldn't have bought all three at the same time........ Lesson learned!

And don't get into a bidding war with someone when it's almost time for the item to close. I've been told to wait until the bidding is almost over (last 5 or so minutes) because that's when most bids are placed. I've found a better solution.....at least for me......just DON'T bid!! I will set the filter to show only "buy now" items so I'm not tempted to bid. It can be addictive!

I have found some really good bargains, though, and will continue to go to eBay for certain items that can be purchased for much less than retail. My "guilty" pleasure is pajamas and lounge wear from Carol Hochman. She has some really pretty PJ sets and loungewear. I need a timer on my computer so I don't spend hours browsing through pages and pages of her clothes!
