In A Startlingly Frank 2006 Interview *LADYVINTAGE TELLS ALL

Over the years we've collected mostly books, lots of prints, 3 cats, 3 kids (now out of the home YIPEE)& a 6 year old granddaughter. It's been 4 years since I began selling on ebay, 7 years since I started buying on ebay. I've enjoyed every single one of them & plan to enjoy many more. Instead of clearing clutter, we've added to it with an addiction to estate sales. I'm in the process of clearing the clutter & putting items up at reduced prices. Check out my store YOUR VINTAGE HOME You can always email me if I don't have a make an offer on the item, I will at least give thoughtful consideration to any reasonable offer.

PLEASE

IF YOU WANT IT FOR LESS, PLEASE BID ON IT. AFTER THE AUCTION ALL ITEMS GO INTO MY STORE WHERE YOU WILL FIND SOME OF THE PRICES HIGHER THAN THE STARTING AUCTION BIDS

How My Auctions Work

We both work full time 2 jobs each. My husband has added a large beekeeping operation to his 48 hr. work week. I work 12 hrs a day 3 days a week, nurse & am trying very hard to work ebay full time also. So I won't always be immediately available to answer email questions. I ship 2 days a week. Your item should be shipped within 4 business days of receiving cleared payment. Sometimes I am able ship within 24 hrs. I will ship more quickly if you notify me by separate email that you need faster shipping, please also use this method if you want shipping to a different address. Please read your ebay emails from me, they will contain all the shipping information you need including when the item was shipped and the tracking number. Please purchase insurance especially at Christmas (also please consider Priority mail shipping from Nov 1- Jan 5th, usps is overloaded at this time of year and the higher shipping rate will mean your package will get to you in time!). Please remember I can't be responsible for what the USPS does to your package or how long it takes to reach you, again, especially at Christmas.

SHIPPING & CHARGES

I know prices have gone up at usps. I've tried to keep mine down. I don't make money on shipping, but I do have reasonable handling costs added to the shipping. I recycle boxes when they are in good shape both sent to me and from my work place. I also recycle clean packing peanuts and occasionally bubble wrap if clean and odor free. Most of the bubble wrap and all of the tissue paper (unbleached)I use is new. I ship a lot new in bubble padded envelopes, books and paper products, they are also usually protected by at least 1 piece of heavy cardboard. These cost money. Packing tape, paper for the printer and ink (that my printer seems to think flows from a tap) are also expensive. I get 99% of my postage through paypal and it really saves time at the post office. I prefer paypal for this reason. Also it keeps my business account separate from the household accounts..

BOOKS

I choose every book myself. Every photo you see was taken by me. I read a lot of feedback, and notice that many booksellers list the same book not only on ebay but on other sites, leaving many buyers disappointed when they receive a refund for a book they ordered because it was sold elsewhere first. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE. Occasionally you have to wait while I FIND the book. We keep moving things around and restacking. I hope to end that problem soon. I only list my books on ebay.

CLOTHING IS DESCRIBED IN ONE OF SEVERAL WAYS I DON'T SELL ANYTHING I WOULDN'T WANT CONDITION WISE IN MY CLOSET 1. NWT New with tags 2 NWOT new without tags. 3 In like new condition. May or may not have been worn. 4 Gently worn. I can tell it's been worn and washed carefully. 99% of my purchases have been laundered or dry cleaned before I buy them. A lot of the clothing I choose and purchase appears to have been unwanted and un worn Christmas or birthday gift! Those are 2 of the advantages of being able to buy upscale clothing in a region that has many professional high saleried people. The clothing comes from different sources, mostly an up scale consignment shop or Estate sales so I can't promise it hasn't been exposed to smoke or perfume. I launder everything that needs it that isn't new. I may not dry clean, but suggest you do it though it appears and smells clean.

We have a smoke free environment, but a few cats, so a few cat hairs may slip into your package! Unless stated everything is used, either family hand downs, ESTATE SALES, yard sale, flea market or purchased new then used or not used by us. That will be stated in each listing. I also have new items some with and some without tags (see above unwanted gifts). I'm going to be downsizing the variety in the coming months. I'll be keeping mostly books, some original art and prints, some clothing. Some seasonal mostly Christmas & Halloween. Some vintage kitchen items. Mostly American made glass & plastics. But I'll be adding flatware and silver-plate and getting away from the larger, heavier hard to pack costly to ship items.

I want my buyers to be happy,and I will be very honest about flaws, defects etc, but unless you really feel the item picture/description grossly misrepresented the item, there will be no refunds, no returns.

I expect you to contact me before leaving negative feedback so that I my fix the situation if possible.

It has been troubling to find the number of new ebayers who don't understand the whole ebay process & more distressingly expect the seller to be able to make usps deliver the item more quickly.

I love to leave positive feedback I have only left negatives for bidders who never, ever once contacted me & never paid. If, you're bidding, please plan on paying or you will be listed as a non paying bidder with ebay and appropriate feedback will be left.

TIMELY COMMUNICATION IS EVERYTHING!!!!

I have only left one negative for a seller and that was due to VERY BAD customer service, and not receiving 2 of the 5 books I ordered.

Everything except the very heaviest will be sent by USPS anything different will be in the individual item listing. A happy buyer is my goal and I've been very fortunate in that respect. I've been delighted to find out that items I've listed, some people have been searching for, for years & they found them finally on my site! That is a very satisfying experience.

You will find me gone for most of February every year. We vacation in Martinique for a couple of weeks. After we retire in a few years we hope to make it a couple of months. We decided several years ago, not to wait until we retired to start enjoying at least one vacation a year just for us. Too many people retire only to find they have terminal health problems & can't enjoy the retirement they so long anticipated. Everyone of us gets the same 24 hrs everyday, it's up to you to use it the best way possible.
