eBay profiling

Okay, you know how your eBay profile has feedback from people that you've purchased items from? Well, it also keeps a link to the item you've won up for awhile.

I've developed this questionable habit of looking at the other items that eBay bidders have won. But it's totally fascinating.

Like this woman who's the very early high bidder on a J.Crew dress that I'm thinking about bidding on. She seems to enjoy purchasing Mary Kay eye cosmetics through eBay. Weird.

Another dress bidder assisted someone's efforts to send rescued pelican from Montana back to Florida by purchasing a book of anecdotes from animal trainers. The current runner up in that auction most recently purchased "Megaman X" action figures.

For frequent eBayers, it's a pointillest personality profile.

I use eBay sparingly, so I've only got one point right now: the 1940s state park postcard fold-out brochure thingy that I bought in December.

What does your eBay profile say about you?
