EBAY for Dummies..?

Although I have managed to buy a couple of things off of Ebay, I am no pro. I don't actually understand that technicalities, the inner workings, the nitty-gritty of the thing. There are some serious pro's out there that swallow chumps like me whole. And I can't win, literally. I had been watching an item in particular for over a week. As the seller was in the USA, I had to stay awake to crazy hours of the morning. Better judgement told me that I should forget about it, that it would be too heart-wrenching if i were to lose but I told myself 'pah, it's only clothes, i'll be fine!'. O how I should have listened to Wisdom. Basically I lost the coat in the last 34 secs of the auction. And no matter how much you say it's nothing major when you've put in the time and bidded your sleep away, when you lose you're gonna feel something.



I pray it's gone to a good home *sigh*
