New auctions added 3 May. Please scroll down for more info and my terms and conditions! NB I SHALL BE AWAY FROM 9 MAY SO PLEASE ENSURE PAYMENT IS MADE BEFORE THEN FOR SPEEDY DELIVERY!
To protect bidder privacy, when the price or highest bid on an item reaches or exceeds a certain level, User IDs will be displayed as anonymous names. For auction items, a bold price means at least one bid has been received.

Hi! Welcome to my ebay page. I've decided to put some of my old stuff on ebay to generate some cash and clear my cupboards of items I haven't used for a while. I warn you now: I'm a bit of an impulse buyer so a lot of items will be unused and I'm a total make up addict too! Of course, I'll put in the description whether anything's been used or not! I've got bags of stuff to get rid of, including lots of velvet and satin pieces, summer items and 60s-80s retro gear, so if there's something you've got in mind, please let me know and I'll see if there's anything here that matches your description!
In my spare time, I'm responsible for the UK's leading glossy gothic lifestyle magazine, meltdown. You can find out more about meltdown here!
what's up for sale?
I'll be gradually adding more stuff as time goes by but you can expect to find items of women's clothing (both gothic and fashion items), accessories, make-up(unused and rarely used) and other bits and bobs as I come across them!
The sizing will vary. Although I'm a UK size 8-10, I'm also selling some of my mum's old stuff too. She's at Weight Watchers and has assorted sizes she wants to remove from her wardrobe in case they tempt her to pile on the pounds again! So there you go! Everything comes from a smoke-free/animal-free home.
If you have any questions about anything I'm selling, please don't hesitate to email me - I promise I won't bite! ;)
FAQ: payments, shipping and other essential things
How often to do put up new auctions?
It depends on how much time I have! I put up at least one batch, if not two, a month. Sometimes I'll even put up three! Most items get left on ebay for a week and I usually don't relist them - unless there are several of one item - so once they're gone, they're gone. Please bookmark this page to ensure you don't miss out on anything.
How can I pay? UK buyers: I prefer payment by cheque or postal order however, I will also accept payment through Paypal. Due to a few recent mishaps, I cannot accept cash unless it's sent by registered post and at your own risk. Please remember, if you're paying by cheque I won't ship until the payment has cleared in my account. This may take up to a week and I'll let you know asap if there are any problems.
Overseas buyers: If you're bidding from overseas, please note I will only accept payment by Paypal in UK pounds sterling only. Can I reiterate that I DO NOT accept payment in any other way. Failure to pay through Paypal in UK pounds sterling will result in ebay's non-paying bidder programme being started. Remember, three strikes and you're banned from ebay!
IMPORTANT! Payment information Please note, due to some recent time wasters I now insist on payment within 1 week of the auction ending. If you can't pay for it within that week, then don't bid. If you fail to comply with this, I will automatically start the non-paying bidder programme. This applies to all you overseas bidders too, who should be able to pay immediately via Paypal.I don't have time for people who claim that their money has been lost in the post. If, however, you can prove to me (eg by means of a valid recorded delivery number)that your cheque has been lost in the post, please contact me and we can work something out.
How much is the postage?
I recommend shiping orders using Recorded Delivery, which adds an extra 65p onto the postage cost. This means someone will have to sign for the goodies when they arrive. I'm doing this for security on both parts as the UK postal system isn't perfect and I want to avoid any arguments at a later date! I send out my orders by first class post so you'll receive them quickly unless you specify second class mail. If you want to know how much an item will cost to send, please email me and I'll let you know :)
Orders will be dispatched within 48 hours of payment clearing. If it looks likely they will take longer (eg if I'm ill) I'll let you know asap.
Will you ship overseas?
Yep, but it's obviously more expensive. I send overseas orders by airmail using international signed for, which adds an extra .86 onto the order but helps ensure Mr Postie delivers your item in one piece! If you want to know how much the postage is for an item, please email me. Please also refer to my section above on payment options. UPDATED You will notice that not all of my auctions are available to European bidders. The reason for this is because I have had a lot of problems with non-English speaking ebayers failing to understand my terms and conditions. If your country is not listed in the auction, and you still want to bid, please email me.
If I am successful in a few auctions, will you combine postage? Of course! Please email me for the exact costs
You've cashed my cheque but my item hasn't arrived yet
Please contact me asap if this is the case. If you've paid for the recorded delivery option, Royal Mail will be able to trace your item. If you haven't paid for this then I'm afraid I cannot be held responsible if your item goes missing. That said, delays can and do happen with the postal service.
I've just won your auction but I don't want the item any more/only bid for a laugh
Tough luck, honey: you bid, you buy. I don't take kindly to non-paying bidders and will leave negative feedback so be warned. Only bid if you intend to purchase the item at the winning price. However, I appreciate that email isn't as reliable as it could be so if I haven't received payment within 5 days, I will send a reminder email. If you fail to respond to that email, I will contact ebay and take relevant action. I really don't have time for time wasters. At the opposite end of the spectrum, I give positive feedback most of the time unless payment is really late.
I don't want this item any more, can I have a refund?
Unfortunately I am not able to offer refunds as I am not a company and am just trying to clear my house of stuff that I don't want anymore. If anything has defects, then it's always stated in the auction as well as information about whether things are new or second hand. If there is a serious problem with any item you've received that wasn't stated in the auction, please do email me and we can discuss this further. If you've just changed your mind, then I suggest you resell the item on ebay like me!
Whilst I will endeavour to respond to all emails within a 24 hour period, I'm only human! If I don't respond, it's likely I'm having server problems or a major crisis so please bear with me. Btw, server problems are more frequent than major crises in my life but you can never be too certain what's lurking around the corner...
