my neighbour came round today to use the computer to look at tanning machines on ebay, shes a hairdresser and wanted this aswell.
she found one but didn't have an ebay id..so i said just use mine!!!!!!
the starting bid is £150!
im sure she will pay for it if she wins it. she said she will use her credit card...but what if she doesn't..
omg im such a pleb!..why didn't i just create an id for her? why didn't i think!

i hope she gets outbid now so i can create her own id...or is there another way around it?
the auction ends in 4 days


anyone want to out bid her for me :cheesy: the next bid has to be £155...anyone :unsure: :hysterica

Oh no! That's the sort of thing I'd do then think bu**er after!!

As much as I like you Whassat I'm afraid I don't want to risk being the new owner of a tanning machine :laugh:

Hope she get's outbid... xx

:cheesy: Andrea I've seen something i want on ebay can I use your id:hysterica

phew, well if it is a different woman, I'm sure she will pay

Personally I'm too tainted by life to really do favours for people, but I think it's great that there are people who still trust people.

So, what I'm thinking is, can you do me a favour?????????

lol..aww go on, have a laugh at my expense :laugh:
no, this was really a :blonde: moment and i didn't think about it until afterwards...3 days left on the auction :unsure:
i might email the seller and see if she can retract my bid and then set up an account for her and place a fresh bid....i don't know her surname though..i don't think shes in atm, but her kids are outside, i could ask them :unsure:

:update: my neighbour came round this morning and wanted to sell something on ebay, so we opened an account for her :woot: then she got outbid on the tanning machine, she she bidded again under her id, and won it for £205.00. shes coming back to pay for it, so i guess she would have paid if it was under my id. but you never know. phew. im glad its all over,
lesson learnt
