I'm a sucker for "Special Offers." My eBay CC offered me $10 credit if I charged $99 to my eBay account. I ordered clocks and other things I would have ordered from Amazon. Don't be too quick to dismiss those "Special Offers."

No wonder they send you offers often as you tend to take those offers. Actually most offers are good but only if you actually need the things that you buy. If you buy something you don't need but only because it's agood deal then it's not really a good deal.

Years ago my husband got a $10.00 deal from ebay. Which we used. I found it strange I did not get the same deal. Thinking he got it because he used eBay very little. Hoping we got the same deal you got. We will use it.

Correct! I was about to buy clocks from Amazon, and I found identical ones on eBay for the same price or less - with free shipping. I also needed paint brushes, so I got a bunch. I was about to buy a 25' extension cord from Amazon, but I ordered it from eBay, instead. I reached my $99 limit.

I am still waiting for my 2 fiber optic sensors and 2 set of fiber coming from China. The regular price were $150 and $50 and I paid $25 and $12 for them. But they do take long coming from China.

The thing that I don't like about so many of these "FREE" internet offers is that many of them sell or give my personal information to others . . . and I find myself getting solicitations forever afterward.

eBay already has my info, as do most businesses worldwide. "Privacy"? What a quaint idea.
