| This is the table and chair that I bought. The chair was the subject of my inquiry on eBay. |
This past Saturday I picked up an antique school desk and
chair at two different tag sales.
I was curious as to how much the chair was worth so I Googled “antique
school chair” and was presented with many choices…one of which turned out to be
eBay. I found the exact chair, but it had been painted turquoise (ugh) and was
valued at $25. Pretty good since I had only paid $2 for my find…and mine had
the original finish and was well used.
A couple of days later, on my FB Home page is a posting from
eBay wanting to know if I was still interested in this item, and showed a picture of the chair. I almost fell off
my chair! I was really, really futsed! How did they know it was me and how were they able to find my FB page?
The only explanation is that they have a way of tracking
inquiries. I find that an invasion of my privacy. What do you think? I will
think twice about going out onto eBay again.
