one song says so much...
John Lennon - 1980 - Watching the Wheels
"People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing"(selling on eBay)
"well they give me all kinds of excuses"(those DB's)
"surely you're not happy now, you no longer play the game" (NARU bidder)
"no longer riding on the merry-go-round"(closed the PayPal account)
"people asking questions lost in confusion"(the bidder who asks a question already stated in item description)
"there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time"(sarcasm for the late payer)
"I just had to let it go"(the sigh of relief when you don't get a retaliatory neg).

You guys are GREAT!
One for the dreaded repeat, complaining, non-paying bidder THE B%TCH IS BACK - ELTON JOHN
One for the whiner who don't read your terms and complain GET OVER IT (is that the eagles or wings DUH)
One for the people who just can't point and click the link for their WBN/WBR
IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN - SCARECROW WIZARD OF OZ
One for those bidders who send payment, no reference to auction
CAN YOU READ MY MIND (I have no clue who performed it)

I chuckled when I saw the title to this thread. My kids have a standing joke about a song by Diamond Rio titled "Stuff". They swear that it was written just for me and is the result of my severe eBay-itus affliction. Must have something to do with not being able to see the floor in my house . I buy quite a bit for resale on eBay, so more of this is applicable than I'd like to admit!
The lyrics are:
Catalogs fillin' up the mailbox
Home shoppin' on the cable box
WW W dot, oh, there's no escape
Delivery truck comin' up 'round the bend
Beep, beep, beep, just backin' in
Sign here and here and here again
'Cause there's no money down, no payments 'till
The whole place is cram-packed filled with...
Stuff (stuff) stack it on, stack it on up
(Stuff) never gonna ever get enough
(Stuff) oh, oh, it's treasured till it's mine
And it ain't worth a dime, it's stuff
(Stuff) spreadin' like fleas
Draggin' me under in this endless sea of stuff
(Stuff) ah, there ain't no end
Gotta get a bigger place, so I can move in in)
More stuff
It's gettin' late, but it's alright
Get it, Wal-mart's open up all night
You can catch it all with a quick swipe
It's easier every day
SUV's and mini-vans
Paradin' 'round in caravans
Totin' off more than the tires can stand
'Cause there's no money down, no payments 'till
Every square inch of the whole worlds's filled with...
Stuff (stuff) stack it on, stack it on up
(Stuff) never gonna ever get enough
(Stuff) oh, oh, it's treasured till it's mine
And it ain't worth a dime, it's stuff
(Stuff) spreadin' like fleas
Draggin' me under in this endless sea of stuff
(Stuff) ah, there ain't no end
Gotta get a bigger place, so I can move in in)
More stuff
Ah, drag it in, pack it in
The man with the most, he just wins more...
Stuff (stuff) stack it on, stack it on up
(Stuff) never gonna ever get enough
(Stuff) oh, oh, it's treasured till it's mine
And it ain't worth a dime, it's stuff
(Stuff) spreadin' like fleas
Draggin' me under in this endless sea of stuff
(Stuff) ah, there ain't no end
Gotta get a bigger place, so I can move in (in)
Ah.....oh, more stuff
Oh, stuff
Never get enough Aww, stuff!
When I've just returned from a buying trip and have stacks of treasures in every available inch of space, or I've got packing supplies scattered all over the livingroom, my kids crank this one up full volume.
Honey ... if you happen to read this ... could we add an addition so I'll have more room for my eBay stuff?
