I put some stuff up on Ebay over the last two weeks and I have come to realize that I am more obsessive compulsive than I had previously realized.
I cannot walk upstairs without turning on the computer to check my auction. I can't walk in the house without walking directly upstairs to turn on the computer to check the auction.
Right now it's a very good thing I don't have a laptop.
And I can't just look at the listing to see if the price has gone up. (Currently I am patting myself on the back because I have an actual-- no wait! 7 actual bids on my item. I'm on fire). I have to check the number of hits I have gotten. (93). and then I have to go to my "selling" page and see how many watchers I have. (14).
My auction ends tomorrow night so you know I will be sitting there, at the last minute, watching to see if there is a bidding war. It was rather exciting the last time. The two people who were competing over my last item didn't enter their last minute bids until there were only 14 seconds left to bid. That was a nail biter for sure.
I so need to get a life.

Welcome to my life.
I dunno. I think computers have done this to quite a few people--made us constant checkers on our cyberlives.
I had to be banned for ebay for my sanity
I keep meaning to sell all my stuff on ebay, but part of me knows I will be just the same as you. Sigh.

I spend way too much time on the computer. I would probably have a much fuller real-life if I put half as much effort into something more productive.

I see that in my future.

Yes. In this case procrastination may be a good thing.
Take a deep breath.
Or a valium.
One of those.
Or both!

Auctions'll do that to ya!
