First e-bay purchase
I just paid for my first e-bay purchase; not Anne-related, but skiffy nonetheless: 20 Hawkwind badges for $23 + free postage!
Yay! *happy dance*

Re: First e-bay purchase
I'm on it at least 3-4 times a week, sometimes to sell or buy depending on what I'm after. I always thought it was 20 feedback before one got their first star but then again I started over 5 years ago so I honestly can't remember or was that before they accepted you as bonafide buying/selling. Whatever ...
Ghyle just remember if you need help, just ask. Someone will help you out.

Re: First e-bay purchase
You'll have to shell out a LOT more for the Ral Parha miniature than for your book ame
The last one I saw being sold on internet (eBay) went for more than $250 ex postage.
