My wife is complaining that I'm spending too much money. How can we work this out?

I am a frequent eBay shopper. I have purchased a lot of nicknacks on eBay, most of them for me. I've purchased a signed picture of Bruce Lee, a lava lamp, this awesome light-up pen, and some rare movies on DVD. My wife, however, is complaining that I am spending far too much money on these items. For instance, I recently purchased a pair of old leather gloves that I thought were really excellent and she flipped out on me. They were only 84.95 plus shipping/handling and she shouldn't have flipped out. I just don't get her sometimes...What do you all think?

Also, yesterday, my buddy Marcus said hi to me at the super market and I completely forgot his name and he could tell. How do I patch things up with Marcus? His wife is so hot, btw.
Some of these aren't very nice answers. I don't appreciate the sarcasm. This is my marriage we're talking about, people. It's important to me.

set up paypal to only use money in your paypal account, then ask your wife to deposit money into that account. Then deal with your budget.

Stop spending so much money. And, stop looking at your friends wife.

1. white gloves should only be 85.95 unless there is sequins on them....2.ask him to go to the nuerologist with you because you are having bouts of forgetfulness...he'll forgive you

Chill on the ebay spending and do, by all means, go for Marcus and tell him how you feel about him.

Consider whether you two are having enough sex. I read recently that scoring a bargain activates the same area of the brain that is activated during sex. Give it a try : )
