E-Baying At The Moon

I have known people who's lives have spiraled out of control due to drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, as well as other addictions. But there is a new addiction out there that is as alluring and powerful as the others. This one has no therapies, no 12 step programs. I'm talking about the addiction of.................E-Bay. Perhaps they started with the Home Shopping Network and then moved on to the harder stuff. All I know is that we are losing these people to this enticing vixen. I don't know what can be done. Can you help?
