I've never regretted a single purchase from ebay
mostly because I've never bought anything from there.

With the exception of shoddy chinese electronics which will probably break in a week, almost anything any sane person could want from there can be bought new, from a reputable shop, for less than you can pay second-hand on ebay.

I genuinely don't get the attraction. Unless you are actually after something you can't get anywhere else, of course, a la pimp-style inside out sheep.

I think the exception to that is clothes, they're fairly reasonable on Ebay
but I'm always suprised how much stuff is more expensive on Ebay than it is on ebuyer or amazon.

You might be right about clothes, at least second-hand stuff
I just don't think I could bring myself to buy second hand clothes that I'd only seen pictures of, and charity shops are still way cheaper than ebay. admittedly, that involves, y'know, going outside and talking to people, which is a problem for some people, but still.

I don't like charity shops.
They smell funny.

what, as opposed to second-hand clothes bought from internet shut-ins? ;)

Well yes they smell funny too but I wash them first.
Got some really cheap Camper shoes and boots also.

Girls are different though aren't they, they'll buy something and never wear it then ebay it for half the price.
Because they're spastics.

I like clothing from ebay
I mostly buy coats and dresses and it's very rare anything isn't in excellent condition. But I'm a very cautious buyer with the obvious exception
