eBay

the yardsale of the Internet

I was trolling around eBaytoday, and I found two old AMDlaptops, a bootleg Blue Oyster Cult CD, some ron jeremy DVDs, and some livestock, all for under $60 total.

I bet I get fucked on shipping.

ebay anxiety

The final 30 seconds of an auction when you've just bid. You are in flight or fight mode, hoping that no one will out-bid you, or increase the auction price.

Symptoms usually include light sweats, partial deafness, rudeness to others in room, dilated pupils, finger twitches.

DON'T TALK TO ME RIGHT NOW. My ebay anxiety is kicking in. Let the auction end and I'm all yours.

eBay-ted breath

Waiting with eBay-ted breath:

1.The state of an eBayer whilst waiting to see if they will win an item, or be outbid at the last minute.

2. The feeling during the waiting period between winning an item on eBay and receiving it.

1. "I won't be on msn tonight, I'm waiting with eBay-ted breath to see if Bidder3 outbids me."

2. Alice was waiting with eBay-ted breath for the spork she ordered to arrive. She'd asked for yellow, and wanted to see if a spoon+fork+knife in one object could actually exist..

Ebay scam

An especially convincing fake in sports, especially basketball.

From the dodgy practice of selling fake/lookalike items, particularly Nike Air Jordan's on the popular personal trading site.

NBA game circa. 1988 Chicago Bulls V. Atlanta Hawks, when defender Tree Rollins was so thrown by a Michael Jordan fake, that he stumbled and fell to his knees.

"Impressive fake there from Jordan. Rollins fell for it like an Ebay scam."

Ebay Window Shopper

Someone who goes to Ebay not to buy anything, but just to look at what they have for sale.

Ted: Hey John, whatcha doing?
John: Getting on Ebay.
Ted: Oh yeah? What are you buying?
John: Oh I'm not buying anything. I'm just browsing. I'm an Ebay window shopper.
