Last week was the first time I ever bought from eBay.
Today I put in my fourth order!
So far, so good.
How often do you buy from eBay?

In the past? Often. Now? Never, ever, ever, ever, ever. I have a friend order for me

I haven't even looked at ebay in years!

I only look at ebay if I google something I am looking for and I find the best price (after shipping is added) on ebay. So, I rarely order from ebay.

Not often lately, but I did just get a good deal on a winter scarf and gloves for dh last week.

I used to buy a lot, but I bet I haven't ordered anything off eBay in a year. I am more likely to look at Etsy for the type of things I used to order off eBay.
Oh, I remember - my last order was two dinner plates - I occasionally check eBay for my retired patterns.

Since Amazon started carrying anything I might need I stopped ordering off ebay; however, when my sonicare toothbrush bit the dust I found the newest model on ebay for about $75 cheaper. I'm now eyeing a clarisonic Mia 2 and they are about $75 cheaper on ebay.

Not often, I got vintage cookie cutters and a cake pan last year. I do most of my used item shopping at shopgoodwill.com. I find items and check eBay to see if they're a reasonable price.

Oh gosh, quite often. At least once a month during the slow months, and countless times during my family's busier shopping months, which would be August through November and March through May.

Not very often, I think the last time I bought something from eBay was last year when I was looking for memory to upgrade my friend's computer.
We do sell a little bit on eBay, not a lot but maybe about 3-4 things a month, or less.

Only a few times a year. Amazon is a whole 'nother topic. LOL

Rarely. I used to buy constantly.
I occasionally sell, but that is also rarely.

not that often, really, but I just ordered a flat iron Sunday and got it for half the price of other places.

Pretty much whenever something I want is not on amazon. According to my feedback post plus the 2 things I just purchased, I have bought about 260 items since I joined, which I guess is about 10 years ago - about 2 times a month on average over the years. Basically, some years I bought almost nothing, other years, like when I was building my vintage ornament collection, lots!!

DH orders all his computer and guitar parts off ebay so that's weekly. I'm more of an amazon person.

I buy a fair amount on Ebay. I looked at 2014 and I bought 47 items last year. In general, I find what I'm looking for cheaper there than anywhere else. And it's an incomparable source for vintage, antique, and hard-to-find items.

I used too but after being outbid by snipers one too many times I quit.

I buy cheap Chinese crap on there a couple times a month. They also have good prices on the gel nail polish brands I like to buy so I buy those there often.

I just bought a fabulous pair of Danskos. I installed the app to sell something, and it turns out it males buying really easy too

Not in years. But altogether I probably made less than 10 purchase there.

Lots, although it's a lot hard to find an auction in which you might get a screaming good deal. There's a lot more straight up buy-it-now stuff from sellers using the place as an online store front. I often buy scrap supplies there when I just need one thing and I can get shipping for $2.50 instead of the $7 flat rate some online craft stores charge.

I used to love buying and selling on Ebay, but I haven't in years - since the shipping and fees got so expensive. DH is selling some things right now, and it took him forever to sign up for accounts with Ebay, Paypal, and UPS. A lot of work, and it seems to take forever to get your money!

A few times a year. I was actually about to make a purchase but I thought I'd play around here real quick before going back over there.

I go in phases. I've been on a purse kick again lately, so I've been going there. I must have 30 on my watch list, trying to narrow it down. "My husband" got me the cutest pink bag and matching wallet for Valentines Day from there.

Not often anymore, no particular reason. When i'm looking for something I can't find though, that is where I head.

I bought four Eileen Fisher tee-shirts and a pair of NYDJ jeans this week. It's way easier to shop online than go around to all the consignment type places. I also buy shellac nail polish there.

I buy from there a lot, and it probably averages out to once a week over a year. I sporadically sell things on there too.
