: How fucking PISSED OFF I am right now? Fuck ebay. Oh my god, fuck ebay... My very first ebay experience. I'm trying to buy the CD of Bill Hicks losing it with the crowd in chicago - a legendary moment which I have yet to see. I leave the computer for five fucking minutes and I'm outbid by 50 fucking cents. Auction closed. Stress level significantly raised. That CD was the only reason I signed up with that shit website in the first place. Okay, bitching over. Sorry...
Yeah, it frustrating....but, the lesson is, don't walk away from your computer 5 minutes before your auction ends. That's when you should be watching it since many people bid at the last minute.
I don't think you losing the item is really ebays fault at all....but yeah, the constant watching of an item is something that makes me spend less time at Ebay.
