eBay (and other auction sites)

I've been shopping a lot recently on this well known auction site, and I think it's time for a beginner's guide to eBay...

• Search - Find loads of badly spelt items in categories they really shouldn't be in.
• UK eBay only - as long as Hong Kong and Japan are in the UK
• Postage and Packing uncluded - Sent by Jeff and his white van. Don't expect it to get there in one piece.
• One careful owner - (especially with cars) done 10 times what's expected of it, and it really is on it's last legs.
• Slight damage - F**ked.
• Sold as seen - F**ked.
• Untested - F**ked.
• Microsoft - F**ked.
• Check out my feedback - I got all my mates to leave good feedback.
  
• Check out my eBay shop - Because I'm too tight to pay for a real website, with merchant services.
• Pay easily and quickly with PayPal - give us more money in the way of fees.
