eBay My World: javi617( 5763)

Edible cake toppers, cupcake toppers, and mini pinatas for favors and goodies. I occasionally sell toys and clothing as well.

I buy clothing, toys and accessories for my kids and husband.

Party planning, making customized anything for all of my kids items and events. Creating unique birthday cakes in any theme.

A Walk To Remember, The Notebook, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Transformers, New Moon

Law & Order, CSI, House, The Contender

My best friends and source of inspiration are my 5 amazing kids and husband. Each one with their own personality and interests, add flavor to all that I do. They are also the source of many of my ideas in this business.

I obtained my 1st retail job at age 13(part time after school). By age 16, I was supervising at a local small grocery store in Puerto Rico. By age 20, I was a merchandise manager for a high volume Old Navy store and spent the next few years in retail management. For years, friends and family have been encouraging me to offer the items I made for my own friends and family to others who might also appreciate the service. In early 2006, I quit my retail management position and decided my children needed me more. To help save for their future needs, my college education and future bakery, I expanded my ebay store to include the personalized items I make. This part time project allows me to help others, while caring for my children.

I do not leave immediate feedback. Here is the reason why. A few years ago, a buyer purchased a camera for a child. They paid immediately and positive feedback was left immediately. A few days later, paypal reverses the payment and sends me an email cautioning me not to ship to the buyer who had been linked to fraudulent transactions and was not authorized to use the payment method she paid for. After filing a NPB claim through ebay, she leaves me a negative because ebay issues her a strike. I left unmerited feedback for an underserving buyer. Similar cases followed there after and I now leave feedback after the transaction has been completed. The best way I can keep track is by leaving feedback once your feedback is received. I do not retaliate in feedback. I will evaluate the entire transaction and leave feedback accordingly. I have had buyers who pay weeks later when a NPB claim is filed and positive feedback is still left for them. I understand things can come up.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my store. I look forward to providing the best service possible and offer my sincere thanks for all you do. Thanks to buyers like yourself, I can fulfill a dream of being there for my children and still be able to provide them with future needs. Best of luck to all of you and God bless always!!!
