    Default You know you use eBay too much when...

    ... you just cleared out 4 pages worth of eBay invoices and won notices -- in the last FOUR MONTHS ALONE, and knocked off 4% of your total 250 MB alloted hotmail usage.

    Holy shit, I went from 17 pages to 13, and 11% to 7%, just by clearing eBay-related emails from August 2006 to May 2006, we're not even talking a year but rather a short summer's worth. Holy shit have I used eBay a lot....

    I get that feeling when I receive packages and think "I wonder what this is."

    My Collection - Well, kinda. One of these days I will actually get a pic of the whole collection and post it on there. Until then, I only have a few games in there with some additional collection info stuff.

    1. When the first thing you do when you get up and the last thing you do before bed is check ebay.

    2. When you have several pages open to newly listed items which you constantly refresh through out the day.

    3. You accidently win two of the same item because you are buying way too much. I did that once with two copies of aerowings for the dreamcast.

    When you start to recognize common sellers and common buyers. Today I saw a little ribbon icon next to a n64 lot and said "I bet that's Seattle Goodwill", and sure enough it was.

    I'm a hotmail user proudly since August 2002.
    I love the format.
    I have a Yahoo account too but check it every other day, sometimes once a week. I *hate* Yahoo's mail format. It looks so... I dunno, amateur-ish.
    Never signed up with GMail.
    But yeah, I love Hotmail's look and setup. Sue me

    too true!

    It's even worse when you start developing "rivals". I can think of three right now.
