I've been an active eBay member since 1999 but added my ebay store A1Derful Place in 2009.

I typically shop eBay first when I need (or want) something. I usually get batteries, camera stuff, electronics, legos, toys for my kids, tioletries, household goods and a lot more here.

If I can find it and don't need it that day, I'll bid or BIN (buy it now).  I also sell some stuff I don't use anymore (things I've collected during the years but never used sometimes), stuff from family or friends, things I find when I travel and even things I make (usually wooden toys or puzzles).

My Selling Philosophy

When I win an auction, I typically pay within a few hours via Paypal. When selling on ebay, I usually leave feedback once payment clears. I do not usually wait to leave feedback. I think as a buyer your obligation is to pay for the item.

As a seller, it's my obligation to describe items properly and manage buyers expectations to ensure you get what you expect. I treat everyone as I want to be treated.

If you're a seller and you say something in your ad, you'd better live up to it or you end up with buyers that have expectations you did not manage. The end result is less than favorable. If I bid on one of your items, and something happens before the end of the auction, please contact me to manage my expectations and communicate.

As a seller, when I ship an item, I include all my contact info. Email, phone number and address. If you are not satisfied or did not receive what you expected, please contact me and I'm sure we can work it out. Again, I treat buyers as I would want to be treated when I make a purchase.
