Thread: Stupid people on eBay

I'm not always the biggest fan of eBay Inc, but this is especially for the users of eBay. What is the f*cking point of bidding hours and hours before the item ends? I can understand if it's a one of a kind, I'm willing to get into a bidding war sort of item, but stuff you can find anywhere? Grow a brain

Anyone have any good stories of eBay user stupidity?

The global credit crisis has obviously had an impact on the prices of Viagra and similiar products, consequently people who can no longer afford the drug are forced to over-compensate for a lack of male-potency by flexing their muscles in stupid, pointless ebay bidding wars. At least that's what I think.

People who don't understand proxy bidding, who bid lower than they are willing to pay, then whine like babies when somebody snipes them.

Yep, like the folks with the end bids on this.

When the seller has the same thing for $80 shipped worldwide on his website (which he was kind enough to list on the auction!)

LOL the one on his website even has better scales.
At least the bidders identities are kept secret.
