eBay My World: di-de-di( 8337)

I am absolutely passionate about books. I have a personal library of several thousand books - the bulk of it is focused on film... old movie stars! I love the classic films and love to read about them as much as I love to watch them!

I started on eBay in 1999 as a buyer. After a year, I decided to give selling a try and have been selling ever since! With my eBay buying experience and my years of retail/customer service experience, I have learned alot about how I want to be treated and have tried to pass this in on in my dealings with my customers.

PayPal is preferred, but checks and money orders are accepted as well.

Poor packaging is a pet-peeve of mine. I have dealt with sellers who charge high S&H and then invest none of it in adequate packaging - they'll put a vintage book in a plain yellow envelope or wrap it in a layer of brown paper, and nothing else, before entrusting it to the ravages of the USPS. Aaaugh!! I am not opposed to recycled packaging - I use some myself, I just like to see my purchases treated with respect and given a fair chance of surviving postal service handling. I invest in bubble bags and bubble wrap. When a purchase requires packaging in a box, I recycle previously-used boxes. I am big on shipping quickly. When I can, I ship the same day that a cleared payment is received, but usually items are shipped the next day. As most of my items are books and ship via slower, less-expensive Media Mail, despite fast mailing on my part, I have taken some feedback hits because the postal service took a week or more to deliver (which is normal for Media Mail!).
