editor obsession: I hate eBay.

Actually, I hate using eBay. The bidding, the waiting — it’s too much. I just can’t take the anxiety.

Luckily, eBay launched eBay express (express.ebay.com). You still get all the excitement of finding someone’s trash to turn into your next treasure, but without the uneasy anticipation. The actual layout of the newest eBay addition leaves a little to be desired — it’s boring! — but it’s organized well enough, and the prices are still reasonable. 

The only downside to this is that you can’t find silly items, like my personal favorite, “Snakes on a Plane” on Toast. But, it makes finding normal things (even shampoo) easier and less stressful. And these days, when even simple things like finding a parking spot has become a daily chore, every little bit helps.

Happy bidding.
