I but lots of stuff on eBay.  The last thing I got was a set of hanging dish towels from a horse rescue organization.  Mostly, it's electronics but not necessarily.  I've always been satisfied with the things I've bought.  I love eBay  ;)

Ebay is awesome for me cause I can find those older games that I want to play.  I got a Nintendo 64 game there a few months ago for $5 so it was awesome.

I really only get things online if it's a generic type of item, where I don't have to worry about sizes or comfort level.  Computer pieces, flash drives, hard drives, and the like are great to get online cause generally I can get a discount and yet find it near perfect condition.  I even just found out one of my sites offers cashback on eBay so even better.

Demaina - what site would that be?  My husband and I do a ton of ebay purchases and he sells off and on throughout the year.  I'd like to jump on the band wagon for cashback on ebay purchases.  Thank you in advance.

I love shopping on ebay and soon I plan to start flipping stuff on ebay.  I look for everything on ebay: clothing, shoes, electronics, personal care products, jewelry.  If I can save a few dollars then I like it lol

Have purchased some courses on ebay, real estate, stock market, martial arts. One real estate seminar I went to with a friend charged him $4800 for a course. He would just not believe it was on ebay for $210, fourteen brand new copies were there also. Thing was the company had a different CEO.  The guy who had created the courses was booted when he took his company public, but no longer owned 51% or more of the stock in "his" company. What a savings for me. People buy those courses and see they will not use them or copy and resell them. I plan to do some selling on ebay in the future.

i buy random things on ebay. sometimes christmas items,
sometimes cosmetics/hair/beauty items, sometimes clothes.

i also sell on ebay when i have extra items that i need to
get rid of. i've noticed within the past year, it's been getting
harder and harder to sell something on there for a decent
profit. i've had to relist a lot more auctions than in the past.

I love ebay.  Now that it's back on my points I go there through the site, and get cash back when I do make a purchase.

I've bought many things on eBay, mostly clothes, but if they don't give actual dimensions, you can end up with things that don't fit. It's the first place I go when I need anything at all. I value my time too much to deal with stores unless I absolutely must have something right then such as toilet tissue. :)

EBay is great is you're looking to find collectibles. Most sellers have great reputation ratings so you can feel good about buying from them! Hess Trucks are the big thing for me and there's lots of options on EBay that you don't really see elsewhere!

Not really.  I have received numerous items from ebay in much worse condition than the owner posts.  But then they have a high recommendation rating which i do not understand?
