Hi all. Thanks for taking time to read the 'about me' page. It's good to research the person you buy from. It's what I do! It also helps to build up trust even though you can't see the person you're buying from.
I've been an ebay member for a year now. I've just opened a shop on ebay called: Studio Artista. It's a basic shop but I'm happy with it. As a self representing artist, I'll be selling most of my art work through my shop. My aim is to become a full time artist. I also sell a wide range of other things: coins, DVDs.
I pride myself on having 100% feedback and will strive to keep it that way. I think feedback has it's problems. Just read the petty entries some buyers and sellers leave and you'll see how big the problems are with feedback. It's not 100% accurate
Postage:
I aim to post the same day depending on what time a listing ends. If a listing ends after 16.00 gmt then I will post early next morning. If a listing ends after 12.00 pm on a weekend then Monday will be the next postage time. All of my postage prices come directly from the Royal Mails pricing leaflet.
Proof of postage is always obtained. A tracking number will be sent out to you via email. All items will be securly packed and bubble wraped for extra safety.
