hey: my hobbies-----collecting bank notes,building model cars.  The stuff i sell here is mostly small things that can be shipped....don't like selling hugh items,too hard to ship and expensive too.The stuff i buy here is mostly for work,i'm an auto mechanic,so there are some good deals here.I rarely buy personal stuff ,unless it is really necessary,due to the fact that a lot of the items here are in the states and you must be prepared for a months wait to get whatever you buy.I occasionally sell on ebay and learned the following...1)always respond in kind to any message. 2)when shipping any item,stick to one company,i use canada expresspost , due to the fact that i have always got "the short end of the stick" from ups,fedex. ups will want their money at the door or they will leave with your product.fedex will give you the product then give you the bill later. The u.s. version of expresspost is ok due to the fact that we(canada) are their neighbours and the two postal companies give you fast service and will hold your item till you can pick it up, and cheap customs .
