eBay My World: earles67( 107)

I have been a proud single father of three wonderful daughters for 12 years. Our little family grew close after losing their Mom, my high school sweetheart and wife of 26 years. I was blessed to have them all, now I have become a proud grandfather.

Watches, electronics, miscellaneous

I love spending time with my grandchildren, and am very proud of my daughters' devotion to, and abilities at motherhood.

All William Manchester books, and thoroughly enjoyed Tim Russert's two recent books.

History channel specials, Dr House on the Fox channel, and anything that's clean thus enables us to enjoy together as a family.

Spend my career building new businesses, and turning around troubled enterprises. Absolutely love and respect business people who have dreams, then are willing to work hard to build their dreams into reality.

I use Pay Pal almost exclusively, they seem to be a dedicated, first class company who care about getting things right, while providing a reasonable level of security and protection.

I use USPS Priority Mail service almost exclusively, the price is great, and so is their service.

I welcome returns of defective-damaged items, and am embarassed if I mis-ship an item, so naturally take it back ASAP. I have seen that most Ebayers are responsible in bidding-purchasing merchandise, so do not hesitate in accepting the return of an unsatisfactory item.

I can be contact via phone (318) 288-1346. Oh, my name is Henry Earles, or Papa Henry by my girls and grandchildren.

Well, I love doing business on Ebay, I am 58 and have medical problems that have left me permanantly disabled. I work on Ebay to maintain some modest level of self-respect by being able to earn a modest level of income that can contribute to helping my girls when needed,, and buy US Bonds for my grandchildren's education. I worked 100 plus hour weeks all my 32 year career, and use Ebay as a way to feel like I am making a contribution to my family, however small that may be. I appreciate the kindness and respectfulness shown by the vast majority of Ebayers I do business with. I take every opportunity to return that kindness and respectfulness to my fellow Ebayers, and do feel as though there is a community inside Ebay's cyber universe. I hope not only that this community continues, but evolves over time.

My family and I have served customers through retail sales since my father opened a Western Auto Store in South Louisiana in 1939. I built a 39 store TV-Applince chain for a parent company, using the Golden Rule as my guiding business principle. Naturally, the Golden Rule could not be any better employed than serving Ebay customers. I will rely upon that simple business phillosophy, uncompromising integrity, attention to detail, and genuine value as my guiding principles. While I have made mistakes in my life, I have learned that business and personal behavior must be the same, there isn't one set of principles for business conduct, and another for personal relationships. I not preaching, just saying what works for me.
