Is it just me, or do other people do this aswell? ::)

I have a habit of going through other peoples ebay feedback, and clicking on all the links to see what they have bought or sold.
I mean if its a shop you are buying from its good to see if there is somewhere positive feedback around for exactly the same thing you have bought.. but I do it for purely nosey reasons aswell.

Have found out a few Ebay IDs of friends and relatives and went to look through all the items.. was all really funny, until I looked at the stuff of one of my sisters, and I was like aaaaaaaaaaah bleach my eyes, too much information, why wasnt this auction private! Argh! :o

Serves me right for being nosey.. but do other people do this aswell, or am I the only bad person around? :P

LMFAO@ bleach my eyes
nope I do it too ;)
 
woohoo! I am not alone! ;D

I am not sure if I would class myself as "sad" - shouldnt we call ourselves "inquisitive" or "curious" ? :) ::)
 
Hehe, I do it too! We never buy anything, but I'm forever looking. I too go to their feedback and see what else they've bought/sold :P
 
;D I love doing that. You can learn a lot about a person by reading their ebay feedback pages
 
I used to buy alot for family and friends over Ebay years back, when they didnt have accounts of their own yet.

I wonder what people must have thought about me, reading my feedback page... must have looked bizarre!
Like, lots of computer equipment for boyfriend and brother, underwear, pet supplies, alcohol (absinthe etc), weird anime stuff for a friend of mine, and at the same time cute cuddly toys, and some esoteric stuff...
 
I do it occasionally I'm proud to say I have 100% feedback, but I dont mind who sees what I buy, just like looking into trolleys in Tesco I guess, serve you right for being nosy now you see your sister in a different light lol, I can tell you my feedback will be lots of Bon Jovi and guinea pig stuff and a few Lilliput lane cottages and I have sold a lot of toys my kids dont need any more and my ashton drake dolls that were in the loft and of course my Cavies mags, there you are ,that saved you nosing, I think its quite funny being nosy on ebay , I did buy an electric can opener on ebay and it did'nt work she said it did when it left her but it could'nt have as it was jammed up, still not left bad feedback for her, in case she leaves it for me and ruins my 100% I would like to as its not right selling broken items, but not at the risk of my feedback,
 
talking of ebay,ive just found some watches on there with g-pigs on ? :o
heh
pretty cheap from abroad but mums had one from there and its still going after 3 years
 
I haven't done it but it sounds like great fun-think I might have to start having a nose! :)
 
I do it as well! I used to read my OH feed back untill I found out what my xmas present was! But at least I got the present, what would I have done on christmas day if I hadnt got it!
 
I do it too, also if someone else bids on what i'm bidding on I look at their previous wins to see if they are a bid early and wait person or a jump in with 5 seconds to go person :)
 
I haven't done this but might now! What if you see all the presents you've bought them on there!
