eBay My World: sswoodw5( 620)

hi! i am a single, stay-at-home mom of five BEAUTIFUL, SMART, FANTASTIC kids. (Yes, the same dad!) they are my WORLD!! we decided we needed to start selling a few items from our home, for fun. it has also curbed my buying obsession! (sort of);)

we are selling mainly items we do not use anymore. just putting stuff on here as we come across it. clothes, jewelry from ex, purses... whatever we can find. some items never even used.

clothes, jewelry, purses, shoes, poison rings... TOO MUCH!!!

English

anything my kids are interested in. ballgames, video games, movies, music... and ebay!

i would never sell anything with an intentional inaccurate description. if you purchase anything from me and you discover something wrong with it, i truly want to know and will pay to have it returned. i would NEVER try to hide anything! i treat people the way i would like to be treated, and i am more of a buyer than a seller on here. i see both sides of each transaction and i strive to be the best i can be as a buyer and seller.

i have worked for a vet, a chiropractor, a utility trailer sales business, at Victorias Secret, for contractors, in data processing for an insurance company, for engineers doing secretarial work and drafting.... now i am a MOM. for the past 17 years i have devoted myself to my babies (and occasionally part-time at some of my old places of employment). then their daddy decided he was through with us and now i am trying to make ends meet. hence, selling stuff on here, so i dont have to stick my babies in a daycare!

Contrary to what ebay and paypal put on 'their' page, i LOVE money orders! i dont take personal checks (it would just take too long to get your item shipped out with the wait time), and i do accept paypal (strictly for your convenience). But money orders are very welcome, obviously, it takes ebays hand a wee bit out of my cookie jar! ;)

wow. what a huge issue on here. i never realized WHY s&h was so high until i started selling. for starters, i prefer to ship Priority Mail. you get your item within 2-3 days and everyone is happy. however, it cost $4.60 (to begin with) for this service. if the package is larger or heavier, its even more. i have to purchase bubble wrap, packaging tape, labels, and of course, gas is outrageous and my post office is 15 minutes away. i also ALWAYS use delivery confirmation (its just not wise NOT to) and that is an extra .75. so that is $5.35, without even weighing or measuring the package, for JUST the postage. there is a very small handling fee included in my s&h only to cover a very small portion of the above mentioned.unfortunately, most people assume that shipping is ONLY postage. if this were so, much money would be lost and there would be no point in going to the trouble of selling. i was never aware (buying) that ebay and paypal took such amounts from transactions. i have learned.

You may return your item within 7 days for a full refund. just let me know what happened and i will send you a return package with the postage paid to return it to me in. im sorry, but the entire order must be returned in order to receive a refund. if you throw something out, i will not be able to return your money. i hope you can understand.

i prefer to be contacted through the contact seller area on the ebay page. i have had previous emails sent to my spam folder and i never saw them. if it is sent through the ebay page, i cant miss it!

I TRULY WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY IF YOU BUY FROM ME!! if there is anything i can do to make your experience a better one, please contact me before bidding to see what arrangements could be made. if you would like your item shipped by a slower method, i would be happy to accomodate you. just let me know before you bid, and then if you win the auction i can send you a revised invoice before you pay. (DC will still be included. it is mandatory on ALL items!) i generally will wait to leave feedback until i know you have received your item and that you are pleased. obviously, fb is voluntary, but i will leave you positive fb at the end of our SMOOTH, agreeable transaction. i am only waiting to make certain you are happy with your item and that i need not do anything further to make your experience a pleasant one! you receiving your as described item and indicating to me that you are happy with it signals the end of the transaction for ME. i hope you can undertand this as well. Thanks!

thanks for taking the time to read my 'mess'. if you have any questions about anything, please do not hesitate to contact me. have a WONDERFUL, SAFE, BLESSED LIFE! (call your parents if you still have them, let your siblings know you love them, and hug your kids every chance you get!!)
