Shopping Tool Kit: eBay Saved Searches



I want my own robot.

She would match the white socks and answer e-mails when I fall victim to digital tsunamis. She would find me the sold out Victorian black boots in my puffy pink cloud of a daydream.

I am yet to discover the appropriate model, but I have found a solution for the last requirement: eBay Saved Searches

Sometimes you wait too long on something. You gamble away your chances on a material soul mate by greedily waiting for a further mark down, or you leave you pretty unattended through slovenly procrastination. Now you can't stop thinking about this item, knowing you two were supposed to be together. The only option left to you at this point is eBay: the land of second chances.

But sometimes even eBay breaks your heart. Every item that seems to work is already in the SOLD column. You want to continue searching day after day, week after week, but your busy robot-less life won't allow it.

There is hope. Tell the eBay Robot you want Frye Adrienne Button Boots, and she will send you an e-mail every time someone posts a listing matching this criteria. Leaving you time to match the white socks and answer a few more e-mails.

  1. Reahcel,
    I love your blog. I am a more mature woman of 44 years old. I am also what is considered a full figured lady. I am still not sure what body type I am. Before 5 children I was a hour glass. How can I figure this out. I want to be fashionable but not too young. Thank you for any advice you can give me. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

  2. Bobbi Jo,

    The best indicator for body type measurements. You can get information on how to take your measurements and perform the calculations here: http://www.cardiganempire.com/2008/12/first-we-need-to-measure.html

    Good luck,
