also love cooking, especailly foods I was introduced to when traveling.

Favorite Items I Have Sold:
I don't sell any specific
item or category of items. I see a little bit of everything and over the years
I have had a few favorites.
I sold
these beehive pokerchips back in 2004, they were made of clay. I had picked
them up at a garage sale because I had recently started playing poker
with some friends. They turned out to be from 1880 and sold on eBay for
around $240.00.
Here
is plastic camel radio that I sold. I always liked this strange item and
it was bid up to $70. This was one of the first items I sold on eBay and
it was very exciting to watch it get bid up.

To protect bidder privacy, when the price or highest bid on an item reaches or exceeds a certain level, User IDs will be displayed as anonymous names. For auction items, a bold price means at least one bid has been received.
Note: Anonymous names may appear more than once and may represent different bidders.
Meeting people on eBay
is half the fun. I hear so many interesting stories and situations, I just had
to share a few. Unfortunatly, I just had this idea to post these stories in November
of 2007, and I have forgotten many of the wonderful situations and people I have
meet, I will try to post them as I remember.
A wonderful person named Cecile contacted me from Germany through eBay when I
was selling an old retro lamp. She asked if she could use my lamp photos for her
website of vintage desk lamps. I said sure and later checked out her website.
It is fantastic and I am happy to contribute some of my photos for her site. Check
out her site.
The Story Behind the One Negative Feedback I Got
Well, certaintly the
sadest day in my eBay career was the day I received my one and only negative feedback.
I take my customers satisfaction seriously, as shown by my feedback score, but
sometimes there is a little a seller can do to prevent an unsatisfied customer.
Here is what happened:
I had sold a camera lense on eBay and the winning bidder was a man in Italy. He
paid for the lens and I wrapped it carefully and shipped it right away off to
Italy. A week passed and I received an email from the man in Italy who had bought
the lens. He told me the lens was scratched and that I had not described the item
correctly. I had thoughly examined the lens before listing it and was certain
there were no flaws on it, but to give my customer the benfit of the doubt, I
asked him if he would like to return the lens to me and I would give him a full
refund. This is where the problem started. He stated he would like to keep the
lens (which sold for $300), but also have me wire him a full refund. I responded
saying I could do that and he needed to decside if he wanted to keep the lens
or wanted his money back. He responded saying shipping the lens back would cost
him $100.00 (it only cost me $8.00 to ship to Italy) and if I could send him the
$400 first, he would be happy to send me back the lens. I responded saying I would
not be able to send him an extra $100 to ship his lens back to me. He responded
with negative feedback. So that's how it happened.
I would love to hear your input on this situation. It happened several years ago,
but any support or critisim for how I handled the situation as a seller would
be apprecaited.
