eBay is a great place to buy and to sell.  I am having a blast in using creativity to list and to sell.  There is so much to be listed that you will find a wide variety to select from and hopefully become curious as to which category will be listed the next time.

Koinoniangreek was chosen as my ID because koinonia was already taken.  Often, you will see me sign as "koin" ... that is much shorter.  Koinonia is a Greek word meaning to come together; to fellowship.  It has become part of the "cyber world" as to here, at home.  Our store name ... Three_Koins_In_The_Fountain ... was derived from my ID's ... koin ... koinonia ... and koinoniangreek.  As the song implies, "May you find your happiness here"

eBay became familiar to me, first as a buyer.  At that time, I was a baseball card fanatic, looking for those of Ozzie Smith and the St. Louis Cardinals.  Sometimes I would receive emails telling me that I was paying too much on Ozzie's cards but they were a surprise for my sister and around 350 different ones she got.  And yes, we continue to add to the collections.

Estate Auctions became my next addiction; starting with Vintage Jewelry.  Some of the local auction people started to notice my particular interest in jewelry and the competition in bidding started to grow.  Time to implement a new strategy and start bidding on some other categories.  And now you know where the wide variety of items came from.  Those miscellaneous boxes and "lots" at auctions often held some neat findings.  Some items, I said toss; only to learn that it was a collectible for someone on eBay.  Now I do an eBay search to determine as to keep or toss.

AVON calling!  Gosh, has their inventory grew and continues to expand.  That is currently my primary category in listings.

Whatever!  Much requires research and I am broadening my knowledge.  It is basically a hobby but it often feels like it is a job.  I take all aspects seriously and strive to please my customers.
 
 

GOALS!

* To keep the cost of shipping and handling at a low rate.

     Yes, I do charge a minimal fee for S/H; basically to cover the various fees involved.  The majority of my items are listed at a reduced rate; therefore, I am not losing.

COMBINED SHIPPING!

     That is the only way to go.  All I ask is that the buyer make only ONE payment to paypal.  We love the USPS FLAT RATE PRIORITY BOXES for $8.10.  Many of the AVON liquid items are heavy and as long as they will fit in the box; we see the pounds increase.  Our handling fee is 10% of the total purchase and that still does not cover all involved.

THE GOLDEN RULE!

* Treat all aspects of transactions as I am the buyer and what do I expect.   Descriptions are stated as observed and/or measured.  If the item be a collectible, in a box; that box gets the accuracy in the description as the item does.  I am a very "picky" person with collectibles and realize that 1 small wrinkle / tear, etc. can cause depreciation in value.

SHIPPING!

We state shipping as 1 - 2 times each week but often ship within 24 hours of payment, during the week.

All shipping is via USPS.  We often offer different services for you to select from.

Delivery confirmation is included on Priority packages.

Insurance is optional.

SPECIAL SALES!

We love to do theme type sales!  These are not new to me; but I am still learning how to do Promotionals and stay in compliance with eBay.

Currently we have 2 going:

Our next plan of action is to implement the flier to send to those signing in as our being a favorite seller.
