Thought I'd throw up a general discussion of the most popular auction site. I use eBay heaps for both selling and purchasing, often there's stuff I can't find anywhere so it does come in handy. Another good point is eBay actually uses the whole screen when viewed in 1920 x 1080.

I recently got an iPhone dock and a neon light kit for my computer, the hard part is waiting for this stuff to turn. Every time I check the mail box all I get is bills

I use eBay a fair bit. Usually it's to buy games I can't find in stores, or to pick up cheap tech.

I like looking at eBay to find retro Video Game consoles. The problem is, that most sellers know what they are worth to other collectors and bump up the price. It's not like a garage sale where people are getting rid of their "old junk"

Lots of people raid garage sales for bargains then list them on ebay and make a killing.

Some people are so good at that they make a decent living off it and dodge the tax man.

Well the HD3850 and 550W psu arrived today...

The psu was advertised to have a 6pin pci-e connection.... it does not.

So now i have to F*** around for ages to get the right part, which prolongs the completion this build for a friend who has paid $325 of the $500...

I have a few of the molex to 6 pin converters

I tell you what I find really handy, that's the ebay app for the iPhone. It's great for checking up on anything you have listed but at the same time the search engine on is pretty average.

My ebay rating is 176... I spend way to much time on there. It's a combination of selling and buying and it really ticks me off when people don't leave feedback. It only takes a few seconds!

You wouldn't like me then

I never go on eBay so I forget...

Now that you've reminded me I'll see if I can still leave feedback on the jewellery I ordered for Chaz a while back...

I usually buy games on ebay. Sold a few things too, Gamecube, Nintendo 64 (which bought the Gamecube), Gameboy Advanced SP with games.

Hardly buy technology from there, they might be fake. Unless i know their legit.

I listed a brand new Power Balance wrist band on ebay yesterday www.powerbalance.com/... and this morning I got a message that my listing was taken down. It was taken down because the morons at Power Balance reported me to ebay claiming what I had listed was a fake. Those dumb arses need to get their finger off the trigger and do some research before jumping the gun and reporting me. Really pisses me off that they would be so quick to report me even though I have perfect history on ebay, a rating over 190+ and have been a member for years. I still have the receipt to prove I bought it from a store and that it's an original.

Power Balance has been investigated by ACCC and found guilty of breaching the Trade Practice Act. [Facepalm]

Maybe that's the reason...
