Thanks for stopping by!
I have been on eBay for a few years now, but only really stared to sell in October of 2007. I have 14 year old twins and my son has a condition that requires me to be a "stay-at-home-mom". eBay has given me the flexibility to take care of him, work my own hours, sell off some of my "outta control" collections and attempt to make some ends meet.
I do my best to offer my buyers a GREAT starting price. I think the fun of eBay is to get a great deal or watch as the bids climb! eBay was meant to be fun....so let's have some! All of my items are from a smoke-free home. We do have one cat, but she doesn't smoke either. =^..^=
I offer the best rate I can with shipping. Shipping isn't cheap....the rate you pay goes towards the actual postage that the USPS charges and sometimes a tiny amount for handling (we're talking like 50 cents here people!) which covers the shipping supplies (tape, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, paper for labels, etc...). I carefully research postage prices and would never charge something I wouldn't mind paying as a buyer. I will happily combine shipping! The rate will vary from "nothing" up to $3.00 per additional item (depending on the weight, size and distance the package is traveling). If I ever notice that what you have paid in shipping costs go above what it cost, I will happily refund your money. I am not here to make money off of shipping and I think it is "low" for sellers that do. But please, do not insult me and ask for a lower rate...this isn't a yard sale.....have you ever walked into the USPS and asked the clerk to reduce the listed shipping? If you are unhappy with my shipping fee, I ask that you move on and try to find a seller with a shipping cost that is better suited for your needs.
Another thing...I clearly state in my listings that I do NOT ship internationally. I will only ship to states in America! The last time I checked, Poland was in Europe.....Brazil was not a state.....Italy did not magically move to Florida.....Paris was still in France....see where I'm going with this?
I make every attempt to get your package out ASAP! Once you pay, I not only want to get your package to you in a timely manner, but I want the stuff outta here so I can have some room! =) I do not ship on weekends (weekends are strictly for my family and kids!) and I do not ship on holidays (no point since the USPS isn't open!). Please keep in mind that my number one job is being a mom....and at times, there are family emergencies (or with teens, dRaMa!) that I have to take care of, the computer decides to konk out, illness or other forces of nature.
I try to make my listings point out everything....from the condition of the item, if there are any flaws, how I will ship your item, the shipping cost of the item and everything in between. If you have ANY questions about the item, please do not hesitate to ask! I will answer as fast as I possibly can! If you bid and then change your mind since you don't like the shipping rate, or you thought it was a different color or you got one somewhere else, I will report you to eBay. Listing costs me money, there is a final value fee I pay to eBay at the listings end, and now, since Paypal is the only form of payment I can accept (per eBay's new "paperless" rules), I am paying Paypal fees for both the item AND the shipping! So, you decide not to pay on your items, I will do what I gotta do to make sure I get my fees back....and eBay will send you reminders until you are blue in the face! That CAN'T be any fun!
All this mumbo-jumbo is not to scare you away, but just to put it in simple terms and let you know that I will give you the respect you deserve and I hope you will do the same for me.
