Must. Avoid. eBay.

I am beginning to wonder if I have an eBay addiction. Those who live with me would probably answer a resounding "Hell yeah," but I'm not convinced my ... issues ... are quite to addiction proportions. Sure, I spend at least an hour a day on eBay. Sure, I buy at least one thing a week. Sure, I dream about finding great deals on eBay. Sure, I tell people, "You should look for that on eBay" whenever they mention items they wish to purchase.

But if the dictionary defination of addiction is: a compulsive physiological and psychological need for a habit-forming substance, then is my eBay issue really an addiction? I mean, it's not habit-forming the way tobacco is, right? Of course, the second definition is: The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or involved in something. Well, if I'm really honest ... maybe.

I could quit at any time! Really! I swear! I don't need a 12-step program. No one needs to do a hamburger intervention (which wouldn't work anyway since I'm a vegetarian). I don't need to start taking the eBay equivalent of the nicotine patch. Eventually I'll run out of money. Of course, then I can start selling things on eBay, and that's almost as fun....

Gotta go, an auction is ending! ;)
