My name is Eleanor, and I have a buying-stupid-shit problem.

God help me. I am officially an eBay addict. It used to be just the occasional book or whatever, but now I'm pretty much just stopping short of used underwear. I won't even tell you how many things I have tagged as "Items I'm Watching," but it's on two pages. And about a hour ago, I hit a new low. I saw something I didn't need with only one bid for 98 cents with 1 minute left and I bid on it SOLELY TO FUCK WITH THE LONE BIDDER. Luckily for him/her (and me), I was too late.

Help.

ps. I just won a brown glass bead necklace for a dollar. See?

I recently purchased a pink queen sized chenille bedspread w/ a bluebird on it on ebay. Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was dreaming of new bedroom decor in which everything was bluebird-like..
Sounds like someone should be spending a little more time in quickbooks at work and a little less time on the old auction site.

E - how do you feel about buying designer perfume on ebay? Can it be trusted? I kinda want to get some some Gucci but not sure if they refill it it with imitation or what.

re perfume: if its being advertised as geniune brand, the price is not ridiculously low, and the rating of the seller is very high, I think it is probably okay. I would probably also send an email to the seller before dropping some cash to get the authenticity in writing beforehand--that doc would really help in the event of a paypal/ebay dispute.

Holy shit I'm a nerd.
