James Blunt has admitted to having a bit of an eBay addiction, such an addiction he even put his sister up for auction.

After finding the site quite useful for selling nearly all of his posessions, Blunt decided it was the best place to find his sister transportation to a funeral in Ireland.

Blunt told GQ, �I came back to the flat where my sister was staying and she was crying because she couldn't get to a funeral in Ireland,"

"The planes were on strike, the ferry was out of season and there were no trains. I ended up whacking it on eBay: 'Damsel in distress seeks knight in shining armour! Desperate to get to a funeral in Southern Ireland, please help!'�

The eBay plea turned out to be quite fateful, as Blunt explains,

"The bids flooded in and the guy who won had a helicopter. He flew her to the funeral. That was three years ago, this summer they're getting married!"
