HELLO! THANK YOU FOR CHECKING OUT MY "ABOUT ME" PAGE! I'M RAQUEL, YOUR FRIENDLY EBAY POWERSELLER! BY DAY, I WORK IN THE HI-TECH WORLD OF SILICON VALLEY AND BY NIGHT, I'M AN EBAY ADDICT!!! I STARTED MY EBAY STORE IN HOPES THAT SOMEDAY I CAN DO THIS FULL TIME, TO MAKE A LIVING! I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED TO OWN MY OWN BUSINESS. I JUST WASN'T SURE WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS THAT WOULD BE. AND ONE DAY, IT HIT ME! WHY NOT PICK SOMETHING I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT AND THAT I KNOW I CAN EXCEL AT? WHAT A GREAT IDEA! I LOVE TO SHOP FOR WOMEN'S ACCESSORIES MYSELF, SO WHY NOT SELL THEM? SO HERE I AM, GIVING IT A SHOT! SO FAR, IT'S GREAT! I LOVE SELLING ON EBAY! IT'S A LOT OF HARD WORK AND CAN BE TIME CONSUMING, BUT I ENJOY INVESTING MY FREE TIME IN SOMETHING I CAN MAKE WORK OUT, FOR THE LONG TERM.
MY GOAL IS TO BECOME A TOP NOTCH EBAY POWERSELLER, FULLTIME. I WANT TO BE A SELLER & AN ONLINE SOURCE THAT YOU CAN RELY ON CONSISTENTLY AND ONE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE FOR MY BUYERS, EVERYTIME THEY MAKE A PURCHASE.
HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHAT SETS ME APART FROM MANY OTHER EBAY SELLERS:
PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING, IN MY BOOK! I SHIP OUT EVERY ITEM, SPECIALLY WRAPPED AND PACKAGED, AS IF YOU PURCHASED IT IN A SMALL BOUTIQUE! IT'S LIKE RECEIVING A GIFT EVERYTIME YOUR SHIPMENT ARRIVES! THIS ALSO WORKS OUT GREAT IF YOU'RE PURCHASING THE ITEM(S) AS A GIFT FOR SOMEONE ELSE! MY PACKAGING PRACTICES HAVE BEEN VERY WELL RECEIVED, SO I THINK THIS WAS A GREAT START IN ACCOMPLISHING MY OVERALL GOAL.
MY SHIPPING & HANDLING! YOU WON'T EVER SEE OUTRAGEOUS S&H CHARGES FOR MY ITEMS. I SHIP MOST OF MY ITEMS U.S.P.S. AND CHARGE FAIR PRICES FOR SHIPPING. PLUS, I SHIP EVERYTHING F-A-S-T! I TRY TO GET ALL ITEMS OUT THE DOOR WITHIN 48-HRS. OF RECEIVING YOUR PAYMENT! MOST CUSTOMERS RECEIVE THEIR PURCHASES WITHIN A WEEK!
AUCTION PHOTOS & DESCRIPTIONS! I TAKE ALL OF MY OWN PHOTOGRAPHS AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE CLEAR AND WELL LIT, SO YOU CAN REALLY SEE WHAT I'M SELLING. AND DEPENDING ON THE ITEM, I PUT SEVERAL PICTURES IN EACH AUCTION, SO YOU CAN SEE THE ITEM FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. MYDESCRIPTIONSAREALWAYSHONEST. I WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU PRECISE INFORMATION AND DESCRIBE MY ITEMS AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE. LIKE I SAID, I PLAN ON BEING A SELLER FULLTIME, SOMEDAY, WHICH MEANS I'LL BE AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. AND BEING DISHONEST, JUST ISN'T CONDUSIVE TO MY GOAL! :)
*** FOR NEW EBAYERS ONLY. PLEASE READ! ***
IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE NEW TO EBAY AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW EBAY WORKS, OR HOW BIDDING ON AUCTIONS WORKS OR WHAT IT MEANS WHEN AN AUCTION ENDS AND YOU HAVE THE WINNING BID, THEN I'D LIKE TO NICELY ASK THAT YOU DO NOT BID ON MY AUCTIONS! PLEASE DON'T BE OFFENDED, BUT PEOPLE WHO DON'T PAY FOR THEIR AUCTIONS WASTE A LOT OF TIME AND IT CAN BE COSTLY FOR A SELLER, ESPECIALLY ONE LIKE ME WHO ALSO STILL WORKS A DAY JOB. YOU'RE WELCOME TO EMAIL ME ANYTIME PRIOR TO BIDDING OR BUYING TO ASK QUESTIONS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM!
JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT EBAY SERVICE IS FREE FOR YOU AS A BUYER, HOWEVER, IT IS NOT FREE, IF YOU'RE A SELLER. THERE'S ALL THE TIME SPENT TRYING TO COLLECT, THEN RELISTING THE ITEM AGAIN, AS WELL AS, AUCTION LISTING FEES, BUY IT NOW FEES, FINAL VALUE FEES BASED ON YOUR WINNING BID, ETC ETC. SO WHEN YOU DON'T PAY FOR YOUR AUCTIONS, YOU CAN SEE HOW AGGRAVATING IT CAN BE FOR A SELLER. HECK! JUST IMAGINE 5 NON PAYING BIDDERS, IN ONE WEEK! GEEZ! I'D BE OUT OF BUSINESS IN NO TIME! HAHAHA! SERIOUSLY THO'...WE'RE ALL ADULTS (I THINK), SO LETS REMEMBER THAT EBAY MAY BE A HOBBY FOR YOU...BUT FOR ME, IT'S PART OF HOW I MAKE A LIVING. I TAKE THAT VERY SERIOUSLY, AS I'M SURE YOU WOULD IF YOU WERE IN MY SAME POSITION.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE A "ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY" FOR NON PAYING BIDDERS AND FILE NPB ALERTS WITH EBAY, FOR EACH OCCURRENCE. I DON'T LIKE TO LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, BUT I WILL, IF YOU DON'T PAY FOR YOUR PURCHASES. I'M ALSO NOT SOMEONE WHO SUGAR COATS THINGS. I LIKE TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS AND AT TIMES, YOU'LL SEE MY OWN FEEBACK REFLECTING THAT. I'VE NOTICED THAT PEOPLE WHO DON'T PAY FOR THEIR AUCTIONS LIKE TO LEAVE RETALIATING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, AT TIMES. THIS AMAZES ME, CONSIDERING THEY WOULDN'T HAVE RECEIVED NEGATIVE FB, HAD THEY JUST PAID FOR THEIR ITEM(S) TO BEGIN WITH. I WISH PEOPLE WOULD REALIZE THAT! :)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION! IT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED! :o)
