About Me on Ebay _________________________________________________________________________________________________
-Welcome
Poppentopper-
My name is Josien, I am born in 1964 and I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I began collecting dolls in national costume in 1996 because of my professional interest in costume - I worked as a freelance tailor for theaterproductions at the time - and I've always loved dolls. I keep a non-commercial personal website 'The National Costume Doll Collection', to show my dolls and dolls of other passionate collectors to the rest of the world. Besides a lot of dolls I also have an extensive collection of books and postcards about national costumes from all over the world. That and the knowledge shared by other kind people like you enables me to learn more and more about the subject everyday. My hobby has become a serious addiction and a job.
In the summer of 2005 I started to explore Ebay as a hobby; I sold a small part of my collection as I needed space but couldn't resist buying on Ebay as well. As of december 2006 I decided to take things more seriously and started to sell national costume dolls through Ebay on a regular basis. And since 1 may 2008 I officially started my own Poppentopper business! I will not only continue to sell on Ebay but I also opened my own poppentopper.com webshop recently, the first online shop that focuses exclusively on selling dolls dressed in national costume from every part in the world.
I am always on the lookout for interesting dolls. I find them locally at fleemarkets and second hand shops, the internet and sometimes people contact me themselves when they intend to sell their entire collection.

General Information
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I encourage you to read my descriptions carefully. I describe my items as good as I can, but misunderstandings do occur sometimes. Don't hesitate to contact me and ask questions. I check my email doll_items@yahoo.com almost every day. Communication makes things a lot easier and pleasant for both of us.
I gladly combine shipping. No problem holding your items here for a while, just let me know when you are finished bidding. You will receive an invoice within 3 days after auctions end. For buyers outside the European Union Paypal is the only form of payment accepted. Buyers located within the European Union also have the possibility to pay via banktranfer. For all buyers: no checks or moneyorders.
I normally send by Standard Mail without extra services; this means NO INSURANCE & NO TRACKINGNUMBER provided unless otherwise requested! It's the cheapest way to send but entirely at your own risk. So I strongly advise you to ask me for trackingnr and insurance if you want to be on the safe side because on very rare occasions packages can disappear or damage in the mail. (If I don't hear from you I will always send by Standard Mail).
To give you an indication about deliverytime; it takes around 3 full weeks for a package to arrive in the USA (sent by Standard Mail), but it can take longer so don't start to panic too soon. I usually keep note of sending dates so I can tell you when to expect your items.
Thank you for stopping by!
