Are you addicted to EBAY?
I am. Thought I'd share. I'll be going now.

1. Sometimes...I buy a lot of odd historical documents and car parts
my first stop if I'm searching for something...and I even have that quick e-bay toolbar running at all times.

2. What does the toolbar do?
I don't have that. Does it tell you when something you are looking for has just been listed?

3. Go to the e-bay site under downloads.
It places a little icon on the lower part of your screen. Allows you to check the stuff you always search for, etc.... lets you get direct to e-bay. It just makes the whole process easier. It took me a bit to get it working with the upgrade they did but I use Windows 98.

4. No, but I have a good friend who is
she's unemployed but still buys 5-7 items a day on eBay. She can't even use her email accounts because she can't help but click on ebay if she's sitting at her computer. I really worry about her sometimes. :-(

5. I am too

It's funny but I just started again a few weeks ago.

I told my friend (who used to use the site a lot) and he used the Godfather quote "Just when I think I'm out, they drag me back in!"

I think it's applicable. I haven't ordered much (don't have the money and I usually use it for bargains), but it can get addictive still.

6. No, not addicted
But I have been shopping there for varsity ("jock") jackets for three years now. I'm trying to get one in each letter of the alphabet, and I'm up to 22 of 26 now.

I still need "I," "Q," "X," and "Z," before anyone asks.
