I LOVE TO RUMMAGE THRU GARAGE SALES,YARD SALES & AUCTIONS TO LOOK FOR TREASURES.THEN I DO SOME RESEARCH & DESCRIBE TO THE T ALL ABOUT THE ITEM.I HAVE GREAT FUN SELLING TREASURES TO OTHERS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR CERTAIN COLLECTIBLES OR A MEMORY FROM THE PAST OR TO ADD TO THE DECOR IN THEIR HOME. I FIND THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL EVEN EMAIL ME WITH MORE INFO ON THE PIECE I AM SELLING WHICH I AM EVER SO GREATFUL FOR. I AM HONEST & SELL AT A VERY GOOD PRICE ALL THAT I HAVE & TRY TO FIND & ADD DIFFERENT THINGS THAT NO ONE ELSE MAY HAVE. I MEET SOME WONDERFUL PEOPLE ON EBAY & OTHERS NO SO WONDERFUL---THOSE I AM GLAD THEY ARE A PASSING SHIP IN THE NIGHT NEVER TO MEET AGAIN.-----LOL!! I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEET MORE TERRIFIC PEOPLE. THANKS FOR LOOKING AT THE TREASURES I HAVE & HOPEFULLY YOU PURCHASE A FEW. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING---MEANING THAT LIKE ONE DOILY IS SENT AS  ENVELOPE MAIL & THE BUYER BUYER 2 DOILIES OR A PATTERN ALSO---BECAUSE THEY ALL FIT INTO ONE ENVELOPE,THEY WILL SHIP FOR SAME PRICE AS ONE DOILY.THIS GOES FOR LARGER & HEAVIER ITEMS WHICH THE CUSTOMER GETS CHARGED TOTAL WEIGHT & SIZE OF PACKAGE.PLEASE REMEMBER THAT HEAVY GLASS & LARGE ITEMS THAT HAVE SOME WEIGHT TO THEM LIKE VINTAGE MAPLE FOLDING CHAIRS I HAVE,DO COST MORE TO SHIP.I FIND IT VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN A CUSTOMER MARKS ME FOR HIGH SHIPPING RATES WHEN THEY ORDER LARGER HEAVY ITEMS & THE AMOUNT I CHARGE IS THE ACTUAL COST TO ME FOR SHIPPING.I ALSO FIND IT FRUSTRATING WHEN A CUSTOMER REQUESTS THE CHEAPEST WAY TO SHIP WHICH IS SURFACE (GROUND) THEN MARKS ME FOR SLOW SHIPPING.I FIND THAT IS SO INCONSIDERATE.

I REALLY APPRECIATE BUYERS PAYING FOR THEIR PURCHASES ON TIME.I AM TRULY IMPRESSED BY THOSE THAT PAY IMMEDIATELY. THAT KIND OF PROMPTNESS IS RARE.I DO NOT LIKE TO HAVE TO CHASE BUYERS TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAD WON.I HAVE TO GIVE THOSE SLOW & FORGETFUL ONES THE HEADS UP ON THEIR PURCHASE AUTOMATICALLY GOING TO UNPAID ITEM IN EBAY ON THE 7th DAY WHICH CAN GIVE THEM A BLACK MARK.IT IS FRUSTRATING.ALSO BUYERS WHO WANT TO PAY CHEAPEST RATE FOR SHIPPING EXPECTING AIR SERVICE INSTEAD OF GROUND DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT I DO PLACE CHOICES IN MY DESCRIPTION & IT IS UP TO THEM TO CHOOSE & SOME TIMES ONLY THE CHEAPEST SHIPPING IS IN THE DESCRIPTION,SO IT IS UP TO THE BUYER TO ASK TO BE INVOICED FOR EXPEDITE OR EXPRESS OR OVERNITE SERVICE,& TO PAY FOR IT IN ORDER TO GET FAST SERVICE.ALSO I CERTAINLY DO NOT CONTROL THE POSTAL SERVICE,NOR COSTUMES ON HOW LONG IT TAKES THEM TO DO THEIR SERVICE.I ALSO DO NOT CONTROL THE SWIFTNESS OF BUYERS PAYING.I GET BUYERS WHO DON'T PAY FOR 7 DAYS,THEN PAY ME ON A WEEKEND WHEN THE POST OFFICE IS CLOSED HERE & WRITE ME ASKING WHY THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR ITEM IN 10 DAYS.THEN THESE BUYERS GIVE ME NUETRAL OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK & MARK ME GIVING POOR SERVICE. HELLO!!!! I TURN AROUND & BAND THOSE FROM MY STORE.I DON'T NEED TROUBLE MAKING PEOPLE. TO THOSE BUYERS THAT ARE ON TIME & ASK QUESTIONS & GIVE ME POSITIVE FEED BACK---THANKS VERY MUCH.I APPRECIATE YOU & YOUR BUSINESS.I ALWAYS GIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK TO PURCHASERS WHEN I SHIP THEIR WON ITEM.FOR THOSE THAT I FEEL MAY CAUSE ME A DISTUBANCE,I WAIT TILL I GET FEED BACK FIRST.IF I DON'T GET ANY,THEY DON'T EITHER.

AS A BUYER MYSELF,I ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL PAY FOR MY WON ITEMS IMMEDIATELY.ALSO I GIVE FEEDBACK WHEN I GET THE ITEM I WON.IF THE SELLER DOESN'T GIVE ME FEEDBACK,THEN I DON'T GIVE FEEDBACK.

AS A SELLER,I PACK MY TREASURES VERY WELL & AM ASSURED THAT THERE IS NO BREAKAGE OR DAMAGE.ALSO MY SHIPPING FEES ARE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.IF I USE NEW PACKING I CHARGE A HANDLING FEE.MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE ENOUGH RECYCLABLE PACKING & BOXES THAT I DON'T CHARGE A HANDLING FEE.FOR SOME REASON THE SHIPPING COSTS WITHIN CANADA ARE HIGH COMPARED TO SHIPPING INTO THE U.S.A. OR EVEN INTERNATIONAL DEPENDING ON SIZE & WEIGHT OF THE PACKAGE.

I ALSO HAVE ITEMS ON MY SITE THAT IN ALL PROBABILITIES IS CHEAPER TO GO TO YOUR LOCAL STORE TO PURCHASE LIKE CRAFT BEADS. BUT I ALSO KEEP IN MIND THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES FOR WHAT EVER REASON.I PRICE THIS ITEM AS LOW AS I AM ALLOWED IN MY STORE BECAUSE SHIPPING IS MORE BECAUSE THE WEIGHT IS 2.2 POUNDS.I ALSO CAN SHOP FOR THOSE, WHO CAN'T UPON REQUEST FOR ITEMS BUT NOT FOR FOOD.I KNOW THERE ARE MANY WHO CANNOT LEAVE THEIR HOME BECAUSE I ALMOST WAS THERE MYSELF.I HAD TO FIGHT HARD & LONG & WITH THE RIGHT MEDS CAME OUT SMILING.AGORAPHOBIA IS THE CULPRIT.SOME WHO FALL SUBJECT TO THIS HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY FIGHTING IT, THEREFORE,LIVE WITH IT WORKING AROUND IT BECAUSE THAT IS MUCH EASIER TO DEAL WITH THAT WAY & DON'T HAVE THE STRENGHTH TO FIGHT.I UNDERSTAND VERY WELL.THANKS FOR READING MY EBAY. 

MAY 2010 BE A YEAR FILLED WITH DAILY BLESSINGS & YOUR LIFE BE ENRICHED WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS.
