To buy or sell an item on eBay.

The act of being royally fucked, either through excessive charges or unfair practices. Derived from the process of listing an item on the auction site, eBay, wherein you are required to pay a listing fee, a percentage of the final valuation, and then charged for using the eBay owned site, Paypal as a mandatory payment facility; resulting in you wishing you hadn't bothered listing the fucking item in the first place.
"I've just recieved my paycheck and I'm £200 short. I've been fucking eBayed!"
"Electronic Arts have eBayed us; they've only sold us 80% of the game, the rest is downloadable content we have to pay for..."
a place where you can buy a 30 dollar toaster for a dollar and pay 29$ shipping
but atleast you didnt pay sales tax.....

the yardsale of the Internet
I was trolling around eBaytoday, and I found two old AMDlaptops, a bootleg Blue Oyster Cult CD, some ron jeremy DVDs, and some livestock, all for under $60 total.
I bet I get fucked on shipping.

A site where one may bid on auctions for almost any item imaginable, (not just useless trinkets, as implied by the other definitions here), with the allure coming from the incredibly cheap prices of nearly everything that gets listed. Often, it is possible to find items listed at half their retail price. Granted, shipping costs are usually high, but an extra $5 on shipping doesn't overshadow paying $300 for a new graphics card that's being sold for $400+ everywhere else.
eBay is like life itself; there is a vast array of choices to suit every possible taste and desire, from furniture to video games, to electronics, to books and trinkets.
Fraud is generally not a problem, since there are thousands of well-known and trustworthy sellers, easily identifiable by their feedback records.
One of the great mysteries of life is the mentality of people who bid on auctions days before they end. Are they intentionally trying to drive the price up? Do they not realize that eBay is an auction site? Or are they so naive as to believe that others wanting to purchase the item will let their bids sit for days on end, without being outbid?
Even more mysterious are those individuals who choose to bid repeatedly and consecutively on particular items. What explanation there could possibly be for such irrational acts, I cannot even speculate...

An online auction house known worldwide where it is almost impossible to advertise your own website under your ebay account because ebay is so cheap it doesn't want to give away fuck for free. Also nowadays if you sell under a certain quota they fucking close your account because they think you can't help them earn enough.
Fuck ebay! What you gonna do when I don't need to sell my shitz with you biach!
