I have been buying and selling on eBay since 2001 (here is my current user ID). Back in 2003, my username was featured in the German Bild newspaper as one of a huge list of auction consignment sellers in Germany, and ever since then I seem to have got myself onto some kind of eBay mailing list. Hardly a month goes by without getting some kind of junk mail (sorry, I meant “informative customer announcements”) from eBay, and sometimes, like today, I get little gifts like the fridge magnets above. A few months back, I got a mousepad and I also occasionally get free eBay magazines.

The leaflet that came with the stars promises that I will get a different coloured star sent everytime my feedback reaches a certain level. Since my girlfriend likes fridge magnets, I suppose these aren’t so bad, and I am always a sucker for free gifts!
