    May I join you please? :o I'm also guilty of this 'crime', I just like the roundness of Comic Sans, it makes it look all pretty :)

    Edit: I also use a coloured font too, but it always reflects the colour of the item I'm selling, so if it's a red dress I use a red font, and for black shoes I would stick with boring old black. I don't know where it stems from, I did this on one auction and now I just can't stop!
