eBay Roulette

A game taking place on the popular auction site in which players choose an item they have no interest in buying or owning and bid on it anyway, hoping that they will be outbid before the auction ends and they won't end up having to pay for it.
John: "Dude, you wanna play some eBay Roulette?"
Eric: "Sure, I'm gonna bid on this Boy George album."
John: "Damn. Feeling risky today, aren't ya?"

eBay mong

Someone that cannot or will not understand the nature of an eBay transaction.

A sufficiently talented eBay mong will fail to read the listing, be incapable of following clear instructions, fail to make contact if they win the auction and generally dick the seller about in new and inventive ways.

The eBay mong's natural habitat is a dreamworld. They communicate by 'txt spk' only, and never have any money.
Listing: Please DO NOT send text messages as I will not reply to them.
eBay mong, via SMS: "Orite m8 wots ur lowist price on the xyz can pickup tonite"

Listing: DO NOT ask for a buy it now price, the auction will run until it finishes.

eBay

A site where one may bid on auctions for almost any item imaginable, (not just useless trinkets, as implied by the other definitions here), with the allure coming from the incredibly cheap prices of nearly everything that gets listed. Often, it is possible to find items listed at half their retail price. Granted, shipping costs are usually high, but an extra $5 on shipping doesn't overshadow paying $300 for a new graphics card that's being sold for $400+ everywhere else.

eBay is like life itself; there is a vast array of choices to suit every possible taste and desire, from furniture to video games, to electronics, to books and trinkets.

Fraud is generally not a problem, since there are thousands of well-known and trustworthy sellers, easily identifiable by their feedback records.
One of the great mysteries of life is the mentality of people who bid on auctions days before they end. Are they intentionally trying to drive the price up? Do they not realize that eBay is an auction site? Or are they so naive as to believe that others wanting to purchase the item will let their bids sit for days on end, without being outbid?

Even more mysterious are those individuals who choose to bid repeatedly and consecutively on particular items. What explanation there could possibly be for such irrational acts, I cannot even speculate...

Egirls/Eboys

They usually listen to shitty SoundCloud rap and think xxxTinct saved their life. Get tons of followers on social media for looking like if a brand designed knock-off emos, usually pasty cookie-cutter whitebread too but ~edgy~. Sometimes make completely insufferable (and completely stolen) art on Tumblr, possibly consisting of Hello Kitty doing meth with fake deep lyrics pasted into the description. Egirls are known to do ahegao faces. They will sometimes call themselves punk, emo, or goth without listening to the music. They also think that Billie Eilish and Post Malone are the pinnacle of music.
Some random: OMG have you seen those egirls/eboys I follow on Instagram? Why can't people like them exist outside of the internet <3
Anyone with a brain: Look in your nearest alleyway and you'll find better garbage.

ebay

An online auction house known worldwide where it is almost impossible to advertise your own website under your ebay account because ebay is so cheap it doesn't want to give away fuck for free.
