I can be a grammar nazi at times, but at times I comfort a grammar nazi by putting my hand on their shoulder and softly saying, "There, their, they're..." 
They're, I feel better now

Which of the following is the correct way to say it?
A. "I bought that off eBay".
B. "I bought that on eBay".
C. "I bought that from eBay".
Please provide an explanation with your answer.
C for sure.
On and Off are words to imply objects. The "object" is ON the "object". The "object" has come OFF the "object".
eBay is not an object.
Therefore it's [C]
My pet hate
"I would of bought that..."
Grrrrr WTF are they teaching at school?
Would've - short for "would have" and the apostrophe shows we dropped two letters.
Sounds a bit like "would of" but it ISN'T would of, it is would've
Farrkkkkk
