eBay My World: dehaluyi( 699)

I am of Native ancestry. I live in the Blue Ridge chain in western North Carolina. In chronological order, I was in radio, journalism,the medical profession, earned degrees in microbiology & psychology.I am retired now,but active.

I sell mainly books, but now & then, things we decide we can live more simply without.

I buy things I love, or feel I need. I love handmade items & BOOKS!

I have extensive collections of Native artifacts, pottery, & baskets. Having lived in Florida for a time, I also have a large collection of seashells & beach combed items. Husband is a chef of several decades so we have too many cookbooks, kitchen collectibles, & vintage Italian pieces.

We opened an account on ebay & half.com about 7 years ago. We decided we had too many books, & a lot of things we just didn't need in our lives anymore. We try to keep things simple, & honesty is our main policy.

As of the Fall of 2008 ebay is going to Paypal ONLY,except for a few items. On half.com we have no choice but to accept the payment method set by ebay, who owns half.com & Paypal.

We charge only what the USPS lists as the shipping fee for the individual weights of our items. We always give our customers free delivery confirmation. Our shipping supplies are NOT figured into shipping fees, but we may have to include these due to hikes by Paypal, etc. We almost always ship within 24 hours of payment received, because we ship every day the USPS operates. We try to use recycled materials but that is not always possible. There is added weight of shipping materials, & some sizes of boxes carry a higher rate. YES, we DO combine shipping when at all possible. If you win items 5 days apart, all will ship with combined shipping. Just email us that you are bidding on other items.

We strongly recommend that you buy shipping insurance. It protects both of us! We do our best to describe our items carefully & honestly. Please read our descriptions entirely. If your item arrives damaged & you want to return it because of damage, you will be responsible for the cost of return shipping & we will NOT refund any shipping cost. We digitally record each book as we ship to insure we have photographic proof of the condition of each book, DVD, etc. Like I said, we are dedicated to honesty in sales. ALL items must be returned, or postmarked by the 3rd day after you receive it damaged. There is NO exception. Because we give our buyers free delivery confirmation, we know exactly when your item arrives. AFTER we receive the item from a buyer, ONLY THEN do we issue refunds. Refunds will NOT include shipping as we ship items in exactly the condition we list them in & aren't responsible for what the USPS does to them.Do think about shipping insurance for that!

Our contact info is available to you after you win an item. Prior to that, email us directly through ebay. Our buyers are always welcome to request all our contact info.

If you're satisfied with our service & our items, do take a few minutes to leave feedback. We try to leave our buyers feedback as soon as we are notified they received the items. Ebay & half.com are more or less powered by feedback, & feedback helps both buyers & sellers in numerous ways. If you are unhappy,for any reason, we are very open to your complaints, & will deal honestly with them. Feel free to email us at any time. Our feedback speaks for our ability to serve our customers well. Ebay no longer allows sellers to leave negative feedback for buyers, no matter what, but,since we are honest,any feedback we leave for buyers will state our assessment of each transaction truthfully.
