Hi, my name is Kris.  I started on eBay in January of 2007.  My intention was to clear out Home Interiors items that are stored in our home.  However, along the way I started purchasing items and then redoing my rooms one by one.  My kids now call me an "eBayaholic"  LOL.  I am fully aware that I spend WAAAYYYYYY too much time on eBay.  :-)

I am 39 years old, and I live in a small town in Iowa.  I am engaged, and have 4 children and 2 grandchildren (as my eBay ID points out).  My girls are 21, 18, and 3, and my son is almost 15.  My 2 grandsons are 6 months old and 2.

I recently passed my RN Board Exam, and will be starting a new job this month (August, 2008).  My oldest daughter is getting married on October 4th, so we are deep into the wedding planning, and my 2nd daughter is beginning college this month (August, 2008) in South Dakota.  I am very busy right now, so I might not be available to answer questions right away.  I'll do the best I can though.

I have not had very good experiences with PayPal lately, so I am now requiring insurance on all of my auctions.  I accept PayPal payments, cashiers checks, and money orders as payment.  Payments are due within 5 days, so if you are mailing payment you will need to do so within 24 hours of the auction end to ensure it reaches me in time.

I am NOT crazy about what eBay has done with the Feedback system!!  It is insane that buyers have the right to rate sellers, but sellers can only leave positive feedback for buyers.  New buyers seem to be abusing that right as well.  As far as feedback, I will leave it when the buyer has left it for me.  Some users are just not leaving feedback at all, even though it is very important.
