eBay My World: greatbarbies4you( 1078)

This picture is of my oldest daughter Candice, who's a medic n Iraq. Lots of Prayers everyone, she's in a war zone. I started Collecting Barbies for my Baby Girl. I became addicted. A Fun Safe Hobby allowing me to meet some wonderful people.

I started with Holiday Barbies for my youngest daughter. I left for a year and when I returned I fell in love with the Silkstones. Right before my daughter was scheduled to leave, I was nervous & that makes me shop... I did, Silkstones... a lot of them. To me they are the prettiest Barbie's I have ever seen. I still have Holidays Barbies about 10+ packed up boxes but I am moving towards the Silkstone Barbies & Accessory Packs. They look so cute and real.

I buy things I need for myself and children. I also buy for my grandbabies. You can find things on here that you could never find in a store. It's much easier than driving around to different places when you can sit comfortably at home & find everything you need. Plus I have found that most ebayers are pretty honest people. Just give them the chance to be. They will suprise you, many have me. It's like our own little worls and your able to really communicate with the seller or buyer and for me it's been great, I have met some awesome people on here.

Holiday Barbies, Now Silkstones Barbies. My youngest daughter had to take over half her collection to her grandmothers & we had extra shelves put up due to the size of her collection. Now my oldest daughter in iraq wants some of them and the little one has fallen for them as well... I had 5 pink soiree's now just 4, my youngest she is 12 took one and took it to her grandmother's she also took the blue soiree as well. I have a couple of those. she recently cleaned out her room and donated her 2 Barbie homes, 1 the mansion cost over $100.00 a few years back and her beach house, 5 cars, 2 remotes that worked the corvette and jeep. she had tons of cloths and dolls, plus furniture and she donated them to the children at the home for the innocents, I included all the holidays I had in broken or damaged boxes for a total of 11 big outdoor glad trash bags. she is growing up and keeping her expensive dolls away from me...

I had children at such a young age that I have yet to figure that one out yet. I do Love and Adore Music... All Music. Now I am hooked on Silkstone Barbies... I have to stay off ebay and check my selling area only, If I start Looking, I start buying a lot... I can't help it. I love these barbies. i used to be in to sweepstakes and i won a lot of things. the friend who got me into it won his home computer, $100, 000.00 and another person we worked with who he got into it as well won a brand new car. I just wish I knew the names of the magazines that all the sweepstakes were in with the dates and what was needed either a 5 x 4 card or piece of paper some with just an address, or some with phone and address then some you would have to write a phrase, I would fill these cards or papers out and had a tin can that they were each listed in by catagory, then i purchased envelopes by hundreds, ususally 5 and would enter 5-10 a day. I won so many things. everytime ups came it was like christmas, ne

Biographies. When I was young I would read a great deal, but now not so much. I had lasik surgery and it did not work out as well as I had hoped. Its easier to watch fact based movies or listen to books on tape/cd.

Tombstone... was but was replaced by Pride and Predjudice so now its second and P&P is #1. Funny Romantic Movies, girly of course. Lorenzo's Oil was a great movie. As you can see I like movies based on facts. Except a Good Love Story...

I love all music. I have recently been listening to a new group called The Cliks and traveled a few hours away to see this band. They are very new, from Canada and the lead singer is Transgendered. I respect that. They have a my space page and I encourage everyone to check it out. They were signed by Tommy Boys thru Warner Bros. I have my two favorite singers of all time and that would be 1st John Lennon, such a tragic loss and Don Henley. I love the new music, country, oldies, everything except for rap. I believe music has a healing power because it can really move you...

I WISH THEY WOULD BE BACK THE FLYING NUN... LOVED THAT SHOW AS A CHILD, AND WHAT HAPPENED TO GUMBY AND POKEY???

I love the Holiday Barbies and knowing they were only made for one year makes them a great investment. But most people can not pack these dolls as they should. I wish you would read my guides on packing... its importantant as these dolls are very fragile. Rule of thumb... if the box is mint, meaning never opened, no dings or rips then you know the doll is. Most people do not realize that pictures speak louder then anything and they should add a minimum of a front and back picture of the Holiday Barbie they are selling.

I have worn many many hats. I have 4 children boy, 29 boy, 27 girl, 20 boy, 12 my baby girl and 2 grandboys ages 5 and 7. I have worked in factorys, I was a manager at Warner Bros. Studios. Where I managed 2 Data Entry Shifts and 3 Script Processing Shifts. I also did all the cobal Programming for Data Entry. My life has been very strange. I was born in KY, but raised in Cali so the way I look at the world and people in it are much different then most. The 2 states I have called home are like night and day as am I.

I find pay pal very easy for to use, I do not like being told we can not take money orders, i feel that is only being done so pay pal can make money on every sale. it should be our choice not a must for paypal, I sell on ebay not pay pal. They offer a great service but and Credit Cards thru pay pal are great, but for a few postal money orders are all they have. and if I approve prior to bidding its my choice to do so. I think they are setting them selves up for people to sell outside of ebay, not myself but alot of others with longtime customers who only pay using money orders. there are still people who do not approve of credit. If they can not buy it they do not want it. so I completly disagree with that decision and I think they will be bitten in the but on that one.

I believe in shipping barbies with a lot of care. I love the new shoebox size priority boxes, perfect for the single silkstones, I allways wrap them in bubble wrap and pack my barbies in a box of peanuts after they are wrapped, One of my buyers told me about when the postman brought the boxes to her peanuts were falling out due to damage that occured during shipping, but when she opened the boxes the dolls were perfect, not hurt at all due to the way I packed my items and the materisals I used. check for yourself under feedback left from buyer. TRUE STORY

the only returns i except would be if i sent you the wrong doll. the return shipping/insurance would be on my dime. I only ask for you to return it using the packing materials it was shipped with & repack it the way you recieved it. Your insured, I send the buyer the insurance reciept in case of damage as stated above. my buyers know they will get what they see. anyone can read my feedback & see all my return buyers, they know they can trust me & how well I pack the items. My only concern is & its because it happened to me. I won a 1992 holiday barbie, but was sent the 1989 holiday who someone spent 6 times the amount i paid for my 1992 barbie. I contacted the seller & they asked me to ship it to the original buyer & sent me the shipping money via pay pal & I did. But no one took responsibility for recieving my 1992 barbie & I never recieved it. HOW WRONG IS THAT? I believe in karma & I am sure they will pay alot more then the 1992 holiday's cost.

ebay... or if its regarding a transaction we had then you can get my contact information from the contact person that can be found in your site map. you can send me a message, include your phone number, I will call you back. I stand behind everything I sell I am truthful about my items so I have nothing to worry about. I would never ignore a buyer or a seller, that is just rude.

My Biggest Pet Peave is when you recieve an item without a Packing Slip. I buy several Items of the same Barbie's when I shop. The Other day I recieved 5 dolls all the same without packing slips, I was unable to leave feedback for any of these, ebay dosn't include your address or real name, that is usally in your pay pal, when I buy it's a Shopping Spree, I bought over 30 Barbies, many duplicates and I refuse to spend half my day trying to match the doll to the seller, so please include a packing slip if you want me to leave feedback. Please make sure you add enough pictures when you are selling with great detail to the item your selling. Especially pictures of the back of the dolls. If the box is mint, we know the doll is mint. I will not buy from anyone who I feel is overcharging their shipping charges. I will turn you in. It's not fair to anyone on ebay and I encourage everyone else who see's gouging shipping cost to help clean up ebay and turn that person in as well.

Allways include a Packing Slip or put your Ebay ID in the From address field so we know who it came from, I often purchase multple dolls when I shop, without this info I am unable to leave feedback for you. Please read my guides. Do no put a barbie in a flat shipping box, they get ruined. Use Packing materials, packing peanuts and Bubble Wrap... Also allways offer insurance, your not paying for it the buyer is, if they choose to buy it they will be paying for it. We all know the actual cost of shipping so again do not try to gouge. We will know about it, and will probably not buy from you. atleast I won't.
