The nderplantsstory is quite long! and we haven't got time for that! but if you want to know drop me an email and have a laugh!
I started buying on eBay in 2002, people would say they needed something they couldn get in a shop, so I would track one down on eBay for them; for instance a lid of a favourite teapot, a music book, a style jacket that was no longer trendy, Props for a play or pantomime.
I moved house in 2004 , from a four bedroom detached house into a 2 and a half bedroom terraced cottage - SOLUTION eBay! I became a seller in my spare time.
I need to state here that I am not addicted to eBay!
I like to sell things, I like researching some of the things I get to sell, taking photos of the items, listing them, packing and posting them.
Keeping the filing system up to date, sending emails and messages and meeting some very interesting and nice people (and sadly some not so nice!)
I sell things for relatives and friends and also some of the charitable organisations I belong to.
My eBay (How my system works)
My Descriptions
I am always honest when I describe things. If I see a scratch - I say a scratch, it may not be big!
Sometimes when I read the description I worry it sounds bad - I do not hide it though.
My Postage and Payment
I wrap and pack each item before listing, I weigh them and I look on the Royal Mail website to get a postage price. I quote what the packet costs to send. I add nothing for packing unless it has cost me to buy packing - I recycle. Sometimes I get to the postoffice and the packet may be slightly under or slightly over your cost. I take that on the chin!
I am happy to combine postage for more than one item but sometimes this can work out more expensive due to the new Royal Mail postage rates and sizes! please don't be suprised! I am happy to post individually too!
You pay fast I post fast! often the next day and if items come off auction and are paid for before the post office closes it is often posted the same day
I have been put in a bad position with several packages through Royal Mail that have not arrived at their destination through no fault of the buyer or me. I have also ended up being forced (Charge back) by Pay Pal to pay back money to buyer who have definitely received packages but claim back there money and say they have not received the item. To stop me losing out again - all items sent out to buyers paying by PayPal MUST go out recorded/signed for, this is a small cost for piece of mind - a charge back of 0.00 can wipe out my small profit for a year!
I prefer to be paid by UK Cheque or postal order. Pay Pal costs sellers money and it is a cost we can not recoup! Please don send me cash in Sterling or Euros through the post - It gets lost and I get blamed! I can take payments direct into my bank account converted from any currency but this MUST be agreed before the end of auction.
After Postage and feedback
I do not leave feedback until the package has arrived, this is for two reasons
1. So that I get the chance to know the packet has arrived, file the receipts of postage and know you are happy (I do not forget about it once I have posted it!)
2. If I file everything before it arrives I may loose the receipts to make a claim! My system breaks down!
I leave feedback as soon as you tell me it has arrived and I would ask you do the same
What I Do with the money I earn?
If it belongs to one of the charitable organisations I belong to they get 100% of the profit.
If it belongs to a friend they get 100% of the profit and they buy me chocolates, wine, flowers or sometimes Virgin Vie!
If it belongs to me - I save it for Christmas, holidays and paying for things that break in the house - Please give Generously I am saving for a dishwasher!
