Thank you for dropping by. Whether you are one of my established clients or a newcomer, I just love visitors. At Indian Bay Trading Post I believe in keeping my customers as happy as possible! If you have any problems with anything, make sure and let me know and I will try my best to make it right. I have never met a stranger and want every new customer to become a true friend. I will always try to do an honest description and condition appraisal of my items. If you do find mistakes (yes we all make them from time to time) please let me know so we can attempt to remedy the problems. It is my goal to keep a 100% Positive Feedback Rating on eBay. I look forward to your business and welcome you to browse my other items or stop by my website to see what is new that you can buy now. I am happy to combine shipping of items from both my store and auction items.
About Me:
The Creole Trader comes from a long line of traders and trappers from the Bayous, Rivers and Bays in Southwest Louisiana, a true Sportsmans Paradise. I have been buying and selling on eBay since the last moon of the second millennium. My home is smoke free and pet free. I have a small family so you and the internet keep me on my toes. I am attuned to my surroundings so as the world changes I will change my merchandise with it. Situated high atop a hill, a view of Indian Bay, a beautiful bridge and lots of Canadian Geese and Ducks keep me company while I work.
Please Note: even though I am located in Louisiana I was not affected by Hurricane Katrina. I will be able to fullfill my auctions. I am contributing to the American Red Cross. Here is a link where you can do so to.
Thanks to all the wonderful people who have contributed time money and prayers to all those affected by this tragic event.
We treat all our customers as friends, describe items accurately, pack them well, and ship them promptly.
We notify winning bidders and follow up all transactions with feedback.
