eBay My World: desertgalvv( 694)

I'm a stay at home mom, I have 3 sons and a wonderful husband. I live in sunny California's High Desert, where it hardly rains and is very hot and dry. Love it

Fabric, lace, zippers, buttons, embellishments, trims, and many more items.

Things for my family, my home, or anything that catches my eye.

English, Spanish

Spending time with my family, Scrapbooking, Selling on Ebay

Gone with the Wind, Memoirs of a Geisha, Any movie that takes me to another time and place. Not that I don't like my place and time, it's just nice to get lost in a story.

Mad Men, Project Runway, CSI, Ugly Betty, and many more I can't think of right now.

Most of the items I sell came from a factory that made little girl and women's clothes,when they went out of business,I happen to be in the right place at the right time,so I was able to buy most of the fabric,zippers,buttons,embellishements,laces,trims and other items at a great price. I don't know what I was thinking at the time,then they started to load up my van (I went back several times),I was overwhelmed,when I got home I thought what did I get myself into, sometime later a friend said you should sell it all on Ebay. So here I am! I have no business experience, but I believe that as a seller I should be honest and fair, so should the buyers, and everyone should be treated with respect and be given the benefit of doubt, But I have no problem standing up for myself if push comes to shove. I work very hard getting my items prepared for selling on Ebay, and I try to make each transactions fun. Sometimes you might even get a little something extra as a suprise!

As of January 20, 2009 ONLY Paypal is permitted per Ebay.

Because shipping is something that people on Ebay are really concerned about and notice, I try and ship the cheapest way and combine shipping saving money for people whenever possible with very little handling cost usually only $0.25 - $0.30 cents just enough to help offset the cost of the bubble wrap envelopes and other packing supplies to help ensure that your items get to you safely and protected and I don't charge a travel to post office fee I think that's just wrong. Sometimes I pay a little bit more out of my pocket to ship something and sometimes a get a little bit more to keep in my pocket but not very often. In the beginning I lost a lot of money miscalculating the shipping cost and got burned, but that's how one learns. I try and ship everyday except on Sundays and Holidays, wheather permitting.

I am not a big store or retailer with unlimited storage and resources it's just me, so for that reason most of the time all sales are final, but if I completely and grossly misrepresented an item I will take the item back and refund the buyer their money minus the final value fee and shipping cost.

I prefer to be emailed through Ebay, for both my protection as well as for buyers.

Only items that are in good condition, and usable, and are worth selling in my opinion, This is a one woman operation and I'm not perfect, I try and inspect each item and point out any flaws in the description, but sometimes thing get by me, so please don't hold it against me I don't do it on purpose or to try and get over on someone. Any item that is not worthy gets tossed out.

The feedback situtation is a big concern here on ebay but to sellers the bigger concern is the DSR stars that the buyers are asked to fill out, Ebay suggests that buyers rate the stars on a scale of 1 to 5. 1 = TERRIBLE; 2 = BAD 3 = OK; 4 = GOOD; 5 = EXCELLENT/SUPERIOR Of course when EBay looks at the rating they interpret the stars on a scale of 4 to 5. 4 or less = TERRIBLE; 5 = OKAY. So anything less than a 5 and the seller get dinged, too many dings and a seller can be suspended from selling, and of course seller can not improve on their rating if they're not selling, So please if you are satisfied with the service, shipping cost, handling time PLEASE give me a 5 starts on all catagories so that I may be able continue to sell here on Ebay. Please contact me before leaving anything less than positive feedback, give me the chance to fix the problem. Once I receive your feedback letting me know that you got your item and that you are happy, I will leave feedback for you. Thanks
