Hello! Welcome to my 'About Me' page. Please visit my auction listings and eBay Store items to find a large variety of new, used and vintage items for yourself or to fill your gift-giving needs! Be sure to check back frequently because I normally run a series of clearance auctions starting with the low opening bid of 99 cents one week each month. These auction deals have no reserve amount and low shipping costs, so they are a great deal and lots of fun to bid on!
Selling on eBay has become my favorite hobby, and a great way to clean out my mother's closets and garage too! In the past, I have listed many vintage collectibles such as no-feet PEZ, GI Joes, lunchboxes, auto manuals, board games, records, Disney toys, Barbie dolls, baby dolls and diecast cars, as well as brand new housewares, clothing, accessories, cosmetics, toys, school supplies, and Hallmark ornaments.
I also list my family's used books, college textbooks, videos, DVDs, CDs and new computer software on half.com at greatly reduced prices.
Thank you for reading my page and enjoy browsing through my listings! I list new items in my store and on auction every week so please check back frequently! And be sure to visit my Squidoo lenses to learn more about Margie's Books Beauty and Baubles.
I sometimes send a personal post-auction e-mail rather than using the PayPal invoicing system. I use a Yahoo! e-mail address, so if you do not see an e-mail from me in your inbox, please check your spam filter or contact me for payment information.
I offer discounted shipping for multiple items won within five days. Pay for the highest shipping cost plus $1.00 for each additional item purchased. (Media mail items can only be combined with other media mail items for discounted shipping.)
Insurance is optional, but recommended. Please note: The U.S. Postal Service insurance only covers the amount of the merchandise lost or damaged, not the shipping charges.
All items come from a smoke and pet free home.
Please read descriptions carefully because I disclose flaws.
Please feel free to ask questions before you bid. I check my e-mails frequently and respond to all questions. Please include a subject so that I know you are an eBay customer and what item you are referring to. Do not send attachments. I do not open e-mails with attachments.
Because of delivery and payment problems experienced, I will no longer accept any buyers from outside of the U.S. I am sorry for this inconvenience.
Sometimes I do charge slightly higher than the actual shipping cost. This covers the price of shipping supplies (bubble envelopes, boxes, bubble wrap, mailing tape, paper, ink, etc.) and delivery confirmation. I also try to double wrap fragile items, such as DVDs, CDs, videos, cosmetics, etc., because nobody likes to receive broken cases! I do try to recycle shipping materials as often as possible to keep the starting bids on my items low. It is also the friendly thing to do for our environment.
Your package delivery confirmation number will be sent via an automated e-mail from the United States Postal Service. (This is not a tracking number.)
I do ship to APO/FPO, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and Puerto Rico. Pay the listed shipping charge. I do NOT charge extra to ship to those locations.
Per eBay's new rule starting in October 2008, I can only list PayPal as an accepted form of payment. Please note: I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL PAYMENTS WITH A CONFIRMED ADDRESS. Items are shipped to that confirmed address. Sorry, due to PayPal losses experienced in the past, NO exceptions. The seller protection policy is only valid if a seller accepts payment from, and ships to, a confirmed address account.
I reserve the right to relist an item if I do not not receive payment within seven (7) days.
I no longer leave feedback first because some misuse the feedback system (shame on those people). Although I normally return feedback left for me within two days, there may be a delay when negatives or low star feedback is left. Please keep in mind, the star feedback system is NOT anonymous. (And, please people, don't leave poor shipping time stars for sellers if your package is mailed the day after payment is received. Sellers cannot control the speed of the postal service. Please do not leave low stars because you do not like the postage rates that USPS charges. *sigh* Not only is this not fair to me, the seller, but it also punishes you, the buyer, because I am forced to reduce my eBay offerings as a result of lowered selling status.)
I always try to ship items promptly and I try my best to package things carefully. I do my very best to make your purchase from me a fun experience. If you have a good buying experience from me, please leave positive feedback and 5 star ratings. Unfortunately, the 'never happy' people are usually the only ones that bother to leave feedback. Please take the extra minute to share your positive experience. You can't imagine how much I appreciate it!
Thanks for reading and have fun on eBay!
