Waiting with eBay-ted breath:
1.The state of an eBayer whilst waiting to see if they will win an item, or be outbid at the last minute.
2. The feeling during the waiting period between winning an item on eBay and receiving it.
1. "I won't be on msn tonight, I'm waiting with eBay-ted breath to see if Bidder3 outbids me."
2. Alice was waiting with eBay-ted breath for the spork she ordered to arrive. She'd asked for yellow, and wanted to see if a spoon+fork+knife in one object could actually exist..
