Dial up was horrible. I kept saying one day we would laugh at what we were dealing with.
I joined with my own account in 2001. Before that, I used my sister's account, probably in 1999. She told me how great eBay was. I had no computer back then.
After using my sister's account for awhile, she told me I had to get my own account. I was using her account and buying so much. Then she told me I was using her computer so much, that I had to buy my own computer. I was definitely addicted.
EBay made so many things so much more available than they had been before. EBay is far from perfect, but it has been a great resource.
