Hi!  I am Paulette Baumgardner (ebay id paulettelb) and I have been selling "stuff" on ebay since 1998!  I used to sell Avon at my school, and then I started selling the "extra" Avon items at a reduced cost on eBay. 

After awhile, I started using eBay to help me in my various collections - Precious Moments, Longaberger and stuff for my kids - movies, Coca Cola Collectibles, etc.

Starting in Jan. 2005, my husband decided it would be a great way for us to "make some extra money" , pay off some bills and do something fun as a couple.

I have retired from my teaching job now and so eBay is my "full time" business.  What is great about it is that I have the choice to work (or not) as hard as I want. We usually have anywhere around 90-120 items listed, depending upon what we have found at estate sales, auctions and garage sales. 

We do the buying/shopping together.  I do digital photos and most of the auction postings, although he has a few things going all the time as well.  I do most of the record keeping.  He does all the packaging and shipping...so all those nice feedback comments about great packing are his.

We try to respond promptly to any questions, and pride ourselves on being honest eBay sellers. 

We have three kids and have lived in Amarillo Texas for 20 years.  We are avid Texas Tech Red Raider fans.  He loves stuff about the Civil War and wants to write mystery books.  I am an original Trekkie (65-68) and Tolkien (Lord of the Rings) fan from the 70's.  We love to travel and read.

Thanks for taking time to read my page on eBay and God Bless!
