Hi! My name is Samantha and I am a WAHM to three great kids and wife to one equally great hubby. I've been on eBay since 2001 but I started getting serious about it after the birth of our 3rd (and last!) son January of 2005. I eBay for many reasons. First and foremost, its to get stuff outta here! After the death of my mother and the resulting acquisition of her estate, I realized that I had too much STUFF. A good friend of mine suggested I stick it on here and the idea, well, stuck! Now eBay not only keeps me occupied while the little one naps, but its proven to be a great way to make some extra cash now that its come time to bottle, diaper, and bathe! 

 I specialize primarily in brand name clothing for the entire family.   If you're a bargain hunter like me, add me to your favorite sellers list and check back often!  New items are listed on Sundays.  Frequently I'll have "theme" weeks that allow you the opportunity to stock up on what you need NOW.

Never hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns you may have.  I'm really easygoing and very flexible, HOWEVER I won't tolerate getting burned so I do not hesitate to leave negative feedback or retreive my seller fees if I feel I'm being taken advantage of.  I don't do this for me...I do this for the other eBayers out there.  I take feedback seriously.  I read what others have had to say about my buyers and sellers and I take it to heart.  If you've been a fair buyer or seller to others, I'll work with you to avoid negative feedback, but if you refuse to answer my emails or accept my policies (that are clearly stated on each and every item I sell), then I'll let others know about it.  That's how eBay remains such a successful community!  That said, I have no policy against selling to a new eBayer or someone with low feedback.  We've all been there and we all know that not every buyer or seller will leave the feedback you so desperately need.  I'll sell to you AND I'll leave feedback!  All I ask is that you play fair and be nice to others.  How's that for a win/win situation?

Thanks for stopping by to see what I'm all about!  Please, never ever be afraid to email me with any questions or concerns :)

Is the item in the picture the actual item I'll get?
Yes! Unlike some sellers who rely only on stock photos to represent their inventory, I believe that you should see the actual item you're bidding on. Some people have asked if the items in my photos are the real deal because they're on a mannequin, and the answer to that is also, "YES!" I purchased my manni here on eBay and use her to show you what your item will look like when worn. Its all done at home by lil ol me :)

What size is your mannequin?  You use it for so many different sizes of clothing!
My mannequin is actually SMALLER than a size zero!  Yep, she's a half form with no back, which means no clothing ever fits her perfectly.  This means I've got to do a little magic to show you how the clothing will drape on a real body.  (Department stores do this too!!)  I usually can get up to a size 14 on her with some creative pinning, but I rarely go over this.  While I believe the mannequin is helpful to determine how an item will look on you, there are times when its counter-productive.  In those cases, I lay the items flat on a clean table to photograph them instead. 

Do you combine shipping?
Always! As long as you purchase everything within a day of each other, and under the same user name, you don't even have to ask! If you're purchasing multiple items w/ separate ending times and/or under different user names, please let me know you'd like combined shipping and I'll happily oblige.  There are some very rare occaisoins where combining shipping simply is not possible due to the size of the package, or the way it must be packed.  I will always state this in the listing, however, but most times, this isn't an issue.  I LOVE to combine shipping...it saves on supplies ;)

Do you ship internationally?
At this time I do NOT ship outside the U.S.  However, I'll be happy to ship to Alaska or Hawaii at no additional charge.  I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  If you have an alternate address inside the U.S. you'd like your item shipped to, I'd be more than happy to oblige :)

OOPS!  I missed an item of yours I've been watching!  Will you relist it?!
Absolutely!  Jot me a note and I'll make sure to relist it in my store ASAP. 

How do you do your measurements?
I realize that purchasing clothes online is sometimes difficult because you can't try it on before you buy it.  Thats why accurate measurments are so important to my business.  Here's how I do it:

Shirts: 1 = Arm, 2 = Shoulders, 3 = Shoulder to Hem, 4 = Bust/Chest*
Pants: A = Waist*, B = Hips*, C = Rise (waist to crotch seam), D = Inseam (crotch to cuff), E = Cuff*

*Measured flat across, then doubled.  All measurements are taken flat.  If you see a measurement with a plus sign next to it (+) that means that there is room to stretch.  I will only give you a measurement at full stretch upon request!  This saves from potential damage done to the fabric.

I paid you quickly but you didn't leave me feedback.  Why not?
Most likely its because the transaction hasn't been completed yet.  Many buyers have the mistaken belief that once they pay quickly, the seller is obligated to leave appropriate feedback because their part of the process is "over".  Thankfully for the buyer, this is not true.  I always want to know how satisfied my customers are with the items they purchase from me and in order to consider the transaction finalized, you need to let me know that you received it and that you're satisfied (or dissatisfied, as the case may be).  This usually hapens via feedback, wherein my buyers leave it for me letting me know their level of satisfaction, and I reciprocate, knowing that the transaction is complete.  Don't be mistaken, however.  I'm not holding your feedback hostage!  I'll be happy to leave feedback for you first.  Please just send me a quick email letting me know everything is great (or not so great, as the case may be) and feedback is on its way to you, no questions asked!  I love getting and giving feedback and hope any and all transactions with you will result in lots of it :)

Why are your shipping costs so low?
Let's face it folks, no one ever WANTS to pay for shipping because, after all, you're not really getting anything for that cost! I hunt for the best deals on packing supplies to make it cheaper for everyone involved and I pass those savings onto you. I pack my items with care, but I do it cheaply. I use Parcel Post for heavier items and this may mean a little extra wait. Priority or First class shipping are always an option if you need your item sooner. If it is not available on the auction, let me know you'd like to ship quicker and I will adjust my shipping fees accordingly. I WILL NOT lower my shipping fees, however. As stated on each of my listings, if you do not agree with my fixed shipping rates, please do not bid. I don't like to argue and I won't over this issue. Thanks :)

Why are your prices so low? Are you selling fakes?
Rest assured that everything I sell is the genuine article. Whenever a garment I find is in question, I do research til I am 100% certain the item I present to you is real.  In fact, its against eBay rules to sell fakes AND its ILLEGAL. Remember, just because its cheap, it doesn't mean its not real...it just means you're getting a GREAT DEAL!

Then where do you get your inventory?
That's a trade secret ;)
