confessions of an ebayaholic

I've discovered the ultimate shopping hack: eBay! Since I never try on clothes when I shop anyway, this method seemed like a stroke of genius. Efficient, right? Well, it was until I realised I've become hopelessly hooked. eBay is a minefield for competitive souls like me. I really need to work on this ungodly trait.

The bidding wars are wild - it’s all about winning. Winning! Funny term for something that involves losing money. But the rush of victory? Priceless. For competitive folks, it’s not about the item; it’s about the win. I’m convinced eBay's marketing team knows this and is playing us like fiddles.

In one week, I bought seven items - one for each day of the week. Logical, yes? I have a problem. I'm addicted to eBay. I need to quit. Do they sell patches for this addiction? Maybe something to stick on my wrist to prevent mouse burn?
