Me and my Mom.

    The best sellers on Ebay are the ones that have cleaned out their attics or closets and want to pass onto others the things they've found within.  I appreciate sellers like that, not the mass sellers that are souly out for a profit on things they've bought in bulk.   

 Whether it's to add to our collections, to re-live a part of our childhoods, to buy something we think someone we love would enjoy, or just because we think it's neat, we buy on Ebay. We need sellers that realize that and I'm a seller that keeps that in mind. 

  I started out buying on Ebay, and actually still buy as much as I sell, and I want to sell something to you that fits the above criteria.  I'll never become a power seller, or a bulk seller, I'm just having fun!

 I believe that ebay is a friendly, honest community and I hope that everyone out there bidding or selling helps to maintain this thought.  I'm not out to get rich or fool anyone.  I'm an honest, hard working person who is trying to pass on collectables, craft items and toys to someone who will find enjoyment from them.

      I am aware that we are all in tough times right now and am not trying to get rich by any means by selling on ebay.  Unfortunately ebay is a business that means to stay in business so they have raised their rates many times since I first opened an account and  only allow paypal buyers.  Ebay owns paypal so they take fee's to list and fee's for paypal.  On top of that, the post office has raised their prices as well.  Actually they've raised them a few times since I started selling. 

Some sellers do indeed bump shipping way too high, I've bought from them so I know it's irritating.  I don't do this.  I weigh my package and offer only calculated shipping to your mailbox.   I'm not trying to make 10 dollars off you by cheating.  I hate it when sellers do it to me.  On the other hand, please understand what the postal rates are and don't gig me for shipping that you think is too high.  Check yourself what an item weighs from any of my auctions and go to www.USPS.com.  Your shipping fee includes a tracking number so you can track your package after I ship it.  I make money on the sale, not the shipping.  If the cost you spend on shipping is a dollar or more than the acual shipping cost, you receive a refund to your paypal account.  No one I've ever bought from has ever done that for me!

   I ask that you rate me on shipping time by how quickly I get your item to the post office after you pay, rather than how quick it gets to you, as I have no control of it after I drop it off.   I do NOT charge a handling fee because I believe that's part of being a seller on ebay.  Why should you pay for me to get a box or bubble wrap, and to drive to the post office?   You shouldn't, but some sellers think you should. 

I'm not that kind of seller. 

Ebay doesn't have a "credit check".. all buyers and sellers provide that service themselves by Feedback.  Feedback is important in that aspect, as it provides a way of rating everyones way of doing business.  Feedback shows buyers that a seller is reputable or not.  Feedback scores are essential for business on Ebay.  I urge everyone in the Ebay community to part-take in the rating process.   Detailed Seller Ratings are even more important and I strive to earn 5 stars.  I take many pictures of all of my items so that you can judge the condition for yourself.   

I have recently combined all my listings in one common place that can be found by entering Safeharborseller.com in your browser.  It's not a store that holds inventory, it's just an easier way to access my ebay items. 

Most of my items are from mine or my brothers childhoods, or craft items and collectables that were my mothers.   Every little bit helps my dad,  and I'm sure he thanks you for your support!!

Thank you for spending your time reading my page, and I hope I'm selling something you may want!
