Do you buy or sell on eBay?

May 1, 2010

I’m an online shopper for a few years already, but I’ve never shopped on eBay. I just can’t bring myself to bid for stuff because I can’t take the “excitement” of whether I will get it in the end at a price that I am comfortable with. I’d rather someone fix a price and I [...]
