Help! I'm addicted to E-Bay!

I live in a small college town, where our mall is an over-priced Fred Meyer. I discovered e-bay, and can’t stop bidding and selling! What should I do?

Try setting yourself a weekly or monthly budget, and stick to it. Put the money that you save from this in a fixed deposit savings account - you will gain good interest from it in the long run. You probably don’t need 95% of the items that you bid for on there. Always ask yourself if you really NEED the items. How often will you use them after purchase? Do you see yourself using the item a month after purchase? How much is that satisfying feeling from purchasing that item really going to last? Think about it.
