Admit it: You're as addicted to eBay as I am. You've sniped a purse at the last second -- that poor bidder from California didn't know what hit her. You've loved and lost slipcovers from Pottery Barn.

Trust me, I can relate.

Rather than offer a cure, however, I'm going to give you one more reason to continue your online shopping obsession.

Starting Wednesday, eBay stores will open voting for its standout storefronts, and Erich Kaiser of Bangor is one of the finalists. His shop, My Antique Boutique, is one of the top four shops in the "best looking" category. You can read more about it in Saturday's newspaper column, but Kaiser specializes in vintage advertising and ephemera. You can check it out at My Antique Boutique.

I especially like the French prints. They're bidder-sweet. Like I needed another excuse to haunt eBay...
