I got my blue star from Ebay.

[terrya]

Yes...at last. All of the work...the sweat...and yes, the tears...

And finally...the day has arrived. The blue star. Fro Ebay. The world's largest online auction.

I don't feel any different NOW. But...there's a danger of getting a bit too big for my britches. The swelled head. The feeling that...I'm just a little bit better tnan the rest.

Please...keep me grounded, ok? Don't let the arrogance...the feeling of sheer power...get to me.

I'm no better than the rest of you. But, with that Ebay blue star...I might begin to feel differently.

I must stay humble now. But Lord...it will be hard. It WILL be hard.

1. Um....what's the ebay blue mean?

Are you a power seller?

I know a power buyer, perhaps you two should meet.

2. 50 transactions.

Ebay actually has a certificate for me. Apparently.

12. A certificate?

I have a turqoise star and I didn't get a certificate! I want a certificate!

I'd congratulate you. But here's to you anyway. :toast:

I buy very important little things. ;)

6. blue star? from eBay?

you know, you can just buy your blue star ointment at the local CVS, no need to go internetting for it, and taking all those risks...

9. Can I admit this...

I have never 'done' Ebay. Once or twice there has been a link to it for an extremely odd item - I followed the link to see it. But other than that... have never gone to Ebay.

Oh what an un-hip cybercitizen am I.

Long way to say - I have no idea what a blue star - or anything means at Ebay. Would love to be able to give a high five for the accomplishment... but probably wouldn't mean much given - I am rather clueless about the whole thing.

10. I got my turquoise star a few months ago...

I buy a lot of things like rare cd's or hard-to-get concert tickets. I've never been ripped off on eBay...

11. I still haven't gotten an item I paid for 6 months ago

He said he received my payment and no item.

I sent 10 emails, email to ebay, posted on the message board, filed complaints, left negative feedback, nothing happened. i emailed him again today with a bunch of capital letters and exclamation points. hopefully i get my item soon, I don't know what to do

sorry, your thread felt appropriate for my ebay frustrations! :D
