Bargain Hunters...

If you love shopping for female fashion then there is no better place to find a bargain than on eBay. With an endless supply of fashion listings, it's no wonder that eBay is so successful. Statbrain.com has estimated that there are 12,021,367 visits per day to eBay.co.uk, which i am sure you will agree is a staggering amount of traffic. With that in mind, there is sure to be something you see on there that you feel compelled to purchase (as I do; on frequent occasions).

If the thought of buying female fashion on eBay fills you with horror, it's probably because you associate eBay with buying used clothes. But this is definitely not the case, as there are many sellers out there who are parting with genuine items still with their store tags on the garments! Even a brand new item such as this can be saving for you, since you will generally find clothing sells for less than it would in store. Unless, of course, you are looking for that inimitable designer runway piece that was a limited edition of about 10. Then you're probably going to have to splurge some serious cash to get what you want.

I have been ranting about eBay for ages. trying to get my friends to sign up and share the love, but unfortunately i have had a losing battle with them, since they say they do not want to get 'hooked' and it is quite obvious that by that comment, they know they will!

I'm addicted; i can't help it. You go on there with the intention of searching for one thing and then find yourself searching for the most random items you could imagine. Things that you could quite easily go the shop 5 minutes away and buy, but for some reason it just seems so much more 'exciting' searching for it on eBay, as though saving yourself 55p is the best bargain in the world.

I remember hearing Weird Al Yankovich's parody of eBay and thinking how spot on he was with his lyrics, and if you're an eBay addict you will know exactly what he is on about!

A couple of years ago i also saw a program on BBC3 called Spendaholics, where there was one girl addicted to buying on eBay and was consequently in serious debt. It's not worth ending up like this, but if you like female fashion then it can't harm you having a little browse can it? Be sensible and set a budget, but have fun!
