Baseball cards and Addiction

[Doug]

I've learned not to use credit cards to fund card purchases for this very reason. One late night eBay card binge can get pretty expensive (and shocking) when the bill comes. My best advice from experience is to use a debit card for your purchases. The worst case scenario is that you might end up emptying your bank account, but that's better than getting yourself so deep in credit card debt that you can't get out all because of collecting cards. The best solution is to pace yourself, but I'm sure most of the people here can say that's easier said than done.
