Wedding dress size 22 gently worn $75.00
Hi. I'm meat. And I'm an E-bay Addict.
Hi, Meat!
See this top? It's Misook. At Nordstrom's it would cost $275 off the rack. I paid $30. NWT. That's 'New With Tags' for those of you not in the know. Oh, I started out small. Only bidding on things I really needed, but in a manner of weeks I found myself thinking 'That antique baby coffin is kind of cute.' My selling took the same pattern, first only selling unnecessary items... then stealing my children's toys and ex-husband's golf balls to support my habit. Oh, how I'd laugh inside when my ex would rant about the klepto next-door who kept stealing tools out of his garage, as I counted the $40 I just received for his dremel drill.
Ebay banned me from their site three times. 30 day banishments each time. I found it really hurtful being that didn't even warn me first. The first time was for selling used panties. The money was FANTASTIC. I stumbled upon this money-making extravaganza accidently, while selling expensive La Perla panties and admitted that I wore them, but I figured I'm a clean freak, I had a 100% perfect reputation for quality items, and women are willing to overlook something minor like another woman's crotch for La Perla's. The bidding went out of control... and it was ALL MEN! Dirty, filthy, loathsome perverts, bless their hearts. I put another used pair up for sale, this time saying in a pouty way, 'I've been running around dating so much and working my Hooter's job that I didn't have time to wash them.' It was a BLOOD BATH of BIDS! I got over $20.00 for a $3.00 pair of used Target panties! Needless to say, I listed another pair. This is when the axe came down. Ebay said, 'It has been brought to our attention... ' So, some tattletale ruined my livelihood. And they put me on a one month suspension.
My second suspension came, again, I was completely innocent, when I said would dress up like a nice farmer lady, drive to your house, and come take your bad pet 'to the farm'. This service would include telling your children how great the 'farm' is with vast green fields and all kinds of animals, and a picture of your pet enjoying itself... right before I dropped it off at the Humane Society. Now why would this offend people? But it did. A lot. And they kicked my ass out again. Another month on the streets.
The other banishments were boring. I forget what they were. I got a letter or two for false advertising. I took a picture of myself bent over in latex pants saying 'Guaranteed to save your marriage' and was smacked for that.
There are many crazy bitches on E-bay. Not 'good crazy' like me, but 'evil crazy' like Liza Minnelli. I don't feel like getting into it but avoid anybody with names like 'roadrage69' 'vendetta' or 'harleychick'. NEVER buy anything from New Orleans or Florida. Sorry to those folks, but the items smell like black mold. If you see an item that looks good but there are no bids, READ the FINE PRINT. Chances are, it's some cheap fuck who doesn't want to give Paypal its 25 cent cut and they will demand a money order.... that means getting up off your ass and getting one. If I wanted to stand up and drive somewhere, I'd go to the Mall, you fucking idiot.
For selling tips, I recommend including a freebie. I include a sample of free lube, two double AA batteries or a speculum. I also say 'a portion of this goes to charity', because sometimes I drop a nickel or two into the Salvation Army box at Christmas.
Good Luck and Happy Bidding, Ebabes!
