I consider myself a well ballanced and happy person but just recently I hit 40 and decided it was time to update my image. I started buying shoes off ebay because they were so cheap, just a few at first but then I needed shoes in every colour and then I needed a bag to match (when I say need I am being tongue in cheek) Do you think the addiction is to the shoes, or the bidding, or the spending? and whichever it is does it ever stop?

When I go on spending sprees like you mentioned, it's usually cause things in my life are a little out of control.
So I take control by buying things for me, that make me temporarily happy to distract me from the serious things that are on my mind.
Just don't get carried away, £20.00 on a pair of shoes just start thinking about it when you get to Gina prices!!
A girl can conquer the world with the right pair of shoes, so if it's making you happy, why worry!!

I'm not a shoe addict but apparently the average woman spends £1000 on shoes annually. This may sound a lot but if the average price of a pair of smart shoes is £50, that only makes 20 pairs. Most of the women I know buy about 2 pairs every month.
Shoe addiction is not a common problem. The average woman does not have a shoe addiction. So my question is this, how much does a woman need to spend on shoes before she is classed as a shoe addict?

The addiction is the shoes at the great price....I'm constantly on e-bay...The spending is not the addiction because you are spending less money buying from e-bay, than getting the shoes from the department store... The addiction to shoes will never stop...Every body has a habit and mine just happen to be buying shoes...As long as you are not neglecting your other bills you should be OK...

Only you can stop this addicition, you must take control of your life and not be controlled. Many women are addicted to shoes, which I feel your addiction is. People with addictions can never be free, stop it now. Best wishes.

it is something that need to stop if you feel it is getting out of control, i think the addiction is receiving something and being able to use it.
stop if you want to but have fun and dint let things get you down
