How Long Have You Been Ebaying It?

**jaybird** · 03-22-2003, 06:37 PM

I was looking over my eBay feedback today & noticed how long I've been a member:

Jul 30, 1998

I set up my account on a WebTV unit & started bidding on eBay for Mark McGwire baseball cards. It was the summer of '98 (70 HR) after all.

I was curious if others on this board have been ebaying it even longer.

Also, does anyone know when eBay was "established"?

I sold a Dark Tower board game under a friends account in '97 but I didn't get my own account until '99. I think ebay started in '95 or '96 as a Pez auction site.

I only started about a month ago, when I got a computer in my room, along with a broadband internet connection.

About 6 months but i don't buy or sell more than 1 item every month or so.

I've been on eBay since early '98 although I never won a single auction for several months. back then I didn't have much of a job and had to keep the restraint on bidding amount. Today I still do but for a different reason: too many noobs driving up the auction to insane amount and usually "rare" items will pop up in a week or so.

Late '99, with a oversized SMB2 mug and a SMS. Yay.

The first time I used ebay was early 2001.

I've b registered since June 25th 1997 but I have been visiting the site for a year before that. I was a little apprehensive about giving personal information to an internet site back then. Hell, I still am.

Doesn't seem like 5 years really. Alot of people knock ebay, and there is just cause most of the time..but still...it to me is a great thing. I would have never found alot of items I wanted any other way.
