Grew up in Wheaton, IL, went to college in downtown Chicago. Married and moved to WI in 2003. Employed in IL. What you should know about me is that I love life...Wisconsin is really good to me and my family. We are treated with a great selection of craft brewers, trees and forests, wildlife and waters. All over the area that we live in, there are shops and eating establishments and food co-ops that buy from local farmers or local artisans. My family and I are always trying to buy local so I am not sure how eBay fits in with that. I guess one way could think positively about is that eBay supports sustainable consumerism (if you are buying used products). If we all just bought used stuff we would be depleting our planet's resources less because we wouldn't need so much new junk--boy is that stretching the greeness of eBay.

Typically I will sell stuff that is around the house for too long. I also have an ongoing challenge to make stuff so I am trying more to sell my hand crafted stuff! I really like to buy beer stuff online with eBay. I find myself using paypal more and more to buy online too and definately prefer to use Paypal for eBay transactions as it is really reliable. When shipping items for eBay sales, I prefer to use USPS priority mail but will do UPS ground sometimes too. I have needed to return items for sales and purchased I have made on eBay so my Return policy boils down to be honest, karma is real and disclose everything! My interests outside of eBay are homebrewing, family, friends, camping & travel, the outdoors, oh and beer appreciation. My favorite books include Homebrewers Companion by Charlie Papazian and Homebrewing for Dummies. Favorite Movies are Predator and Office space. My favorite Music/Bands is Iron Maiden, John Coletrain, jazz, metal, celtic etc.
