I love Ebay now
My roommate introduced me to Ebay. I had of course known about the auctioning website years ago, but I was always wary of using the website since I thought that there would be a lot of liars and scammers on the website who would take your money and then give you a used up item. Plus, I didn’t think people actually sold new items; I dislike using other people’s used items unless I know who it belonged to before.
Since learning that Ebay users sell a lot of new items online, I have bought a few items. In preparation for the winter (which is freezing here), I have bought scarves, clothes, and a pair of moccasins. Of course, I made sure that they were brands that I trusted, instead of being a bootlegged brand from China. There are so many sellers from Hong Kong that offer a lot of items cheaply, but they are not the genuine item. It might not matter that much if it’s a scarf because how much better can a scarf get? I’m fine with buying a slightly lower quality scarf for $5 than spending $50 on a brand name, but I’m not so fine in buying bootlegged make-up items. Those items are going on my skin, so I am vary wary of the auctions from China in those sectors.
I also bought a few bootlegged earphones. Although the quality is definitely lacking, it does its job and for $0.50, I can’t really complain.
The next thing I want to buy is a hat. I should have bought a hat last year, but I neglected to. Now, the weather has turned very cold and I am without something to protect my ears. As my roommate says, “That is the ultimate form of procrastination.” Failing to buy an item even though I need it.
