    Amazon to buy paper, eBay to buy wood.

    Does "Buy It Now" have some magic function that always lets you use your credit/debit card or something? People keep saying it's the go-to button. Though it's generally tagged with an overly inflated price. But the eBay I know requires PayPal, which is also a pain in the ass. I use Amazon because I use my debit card for everything. PayPal requires like 5 days to transfer funds. Which sucks if I find something up for auction that ends in like 1 or 2 days. Serious headache

    You can pay directly with a debit/credit card through PayPal. Like, it uses PayPal but not actual PayPal funds. It goes through in a day for me when I do it this way, which is the same time it takes for me if I pay through debit/credit directly online.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    Yeah, I have always tied my PayPal with my debit card. I didn't know people actually loaded PayPal with credit.

    I buy clothes and shoes on ebay. Regular solid colored camisoles, cardigans, stretch tees and flats. It's just such a million smurfing times better than going from store to store to find what I want. No I don't want a shelf bra camisole. No I don't want v-neck weird ribbed material tees. Just give me the stuff I want and give it to me super cheap as I sit in the convenience of my own home!
    There's "buy it now" on most items that are sold by mini-stores operating through ebay, where they usually have 10+ of any given item at any time. Rare items, however, are still usually bid on.

    One bad experience I had with ebay, was that I had just one an auction for Final Fantasy VIII when I was informed that I couldn't make good on my end because I'd gone past my credit limit and actually already owed money. The guy selling the game was understandably pissed.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
