eBay My World: gem-buddy( 238)

I have been doing business on the internet since 2000. I am a professional jewelry maker, design my own pieces. When I incorporate components made by others into my design, I give credit to these artisans if possible.

necklaces, braceletes, earrings, rings

findings, gemstones, components, personal items

Pink Mayfair Rose glass, Hull Pottery, McCoy Pottery

English, Spanish

Gardening, (herbs, vegetables, and flowers). Canning, freezing, and drying those herbs, vegetables and flowers. I have six fresh water aquariums. I love to read any and everything I can get my hands on.

I am located in Mount Vernon, GA in the United States. Dealing with a vendor located in the United States is advantageous for buyers located in the United States especially for those located within my own state. Each country and state are governed by their own set of unique consumer and trading laws. If you live within the United States you know you have recourse, in addition to the safeguards provided by Ebay, to keep the seller honest, and recoup your money if the transcation goes bad.

My company's name is Southern Gem Shop. I have been developing a website for ages, but it still only has a few listings, but is coming along slowly.

I only accept Paypal on Ebay.

Items are shipped within 24-48 after payment is received, and any additional information needed to complete the order. Shipping rates are FREE because I employee GREEN Packing and Shipping Methods.. I was reluctant to do this at first because EBay earns a Final Value Fee on Postage, Packing Materials, and Warehouse labor, and I don't think that is ethical, but with all the promotion by EBay for Free Shipping (so they earn bigger FVF) most buyers have been effectively turned against legitimate shipping and handling charges. However, every cloud has a silver lining. I found I can offer Free shipping and Handling by going GREEN as much as possible with my shipping. I recycle everything I can put my hands on: envelopes, bubble wrap, boxes, etc. Your packages may not be wrapped in pretty NEW envelopes anymore, but take Pride in receiving a Green Packed Item, you are helping the environment by saving trees and reducing landfill rubbish, and you get FREE S&H too.
