I love ebay and I regularly bless your little cotton socks when Bidnapper strikes

I hardly ever won an auction before you told me about Bidnapper

Actually ebay is fabulous for anyone short of time to go shopping. So (eg) when Chardonnay the Mini needed a new rear wiper blade, rather than having to arse around finding time to go to Halfords at a weekend I just had one delivered to my work. Life is so much easier.
