toddler boy's clothing, swimwear, more vampire tees, more jeans, more baby clothing, more dress/special occaision shoes, and some great winter finds! Coming also, hand made fleece scarves in many popular colors, great for your kids, teenagers love them, and great for yourself! Always warm, always colorful and always fun! These are an item that I make myself, and I have great fun wearing them. The ones that have sold so far have recieved great reviews, as well as the hand made jewelry that I am currently offering, all made from glass pearls, crystals and coral. I now also have a large amount of both infants and toddler clothing, new with tags, to be posted for sale very soon.
Business InformationHistory/background
I am a single mom who was laid off from my job that I had for a very long time, and now I sell on ebay to suppliment my unemployment. I offer both new and used children's and adult's clothing, as well as hand made scarves and jewelry. This has been turning out to be better than when I was working, because I get to spend more time with my daughter, something I was missing out on when I was working 40 hours or more a week. Family is important to me and I spend my weekends finding adventures to take with my daughter. This is why most weekends I am not available for questions (sorry for any inconvenience this may cause). During the week, mostly during her naptimes, is when I am posting items, other than that we are packing purchases, running to the post office at least 2-3 times a week, and entertaining my child. She is a handfull, but she can bring a smaile to my face when she does something unexpectedly sweet, like waking me up with kisses, then demanding juice.
Payment policy
I accept paypal only. I ask for payment within 7 days of end of auction, non-payment will be reported to ebay. If for some reason you are not able to pay within the 7 days, contact me so I know what is going on so that I do not make a report. I am a flexible person as long as there are open lines of communication. I understand that stuff happens, and that there are things that are beyond our control, I just like to know what is going on and if a buyer plans on paying for an item that they have bid on. I have been forced to tighten my buyer requirements because of too many people not paying for the items that they win. Not paying for what you purchase is a waste of my time and the buyer's. I depend on what I make to take care of my family, and get them the extra little things that they want, so I ask that if you do not plan on paying for the items, please do not bid. I also ask that if you haven't paid for your item, don't leave negative feedback for me, its not my fault.
Shipping information
I ship within 10 days of payment being received. The sooner you pay, the sooner you get your item. I have had people complain that it took 8 days to get their item, but what they neglect to mention in their feedback is that it took them 5 days to pay. I generally ship 1st class parcel or priority mail, so you will get your item quickly once it is mailed. I have a 10 day handling time to ensure that I have enough items to make a trip to the post office worth my time and gas,I try to at least have a bag full of items before I run across town to drop items off, but it rarely takes 10 full days to get items shipped. I try to make at least 3 trips to the post office per week, weather and child permitting. If there is any type of delay, I will email you to let you know what is going on, (as with my car accident of last week!) I am currently working on updating all my listings to include shipping to Canada, please be patient, as it may take me a week or so to get all caught up on this.
Return policy
I will return anything that comes to you damaged, but I do take the time to make sure things are packaged in such a way that they should get to you without a problem. Used items are laundered before I send them out. Buyer pays for return shipping. Items need to be returned within seven days of your recieving them, along with a description of the problem. I never knowingly list a damaged or non-working item, so if there is something wrong with something that you receive, it probably happened after it left my posession, but I will still accomidate you to the best of my abillities. I have worked in retail for quite some time, so I know what types of damage come from wear, abuse, or carelessness. As a former assistant manager of a clothing store, I have seen every type of 'But I only tried it on once' excuse there is, amd I know the condition of every item before I send it out. I ask that you read the item description completely and ask questions before you bid.

Shipping to Canada
I use the calculator provided by ebay to calculate shipping to Canada, so it may seem a little high, but when I actually ship the items, if the shipping is less that what you paid, I will refund the difference. I am just starting to ship to Canada, so I have not had much expereince with the prices, but I will be adjusting them as I go along when I get more information on this.
Hand crafted items made by me!
I currently offer fleece scarves that are hand made by me. Each one is different, and no two are exactly alike. I also make jewlry from crystal and imitation pearl. The scarves are currently posted, as soon as I finish one I put it online for auction, and the bracelets will be coming soon, so please check them out, people who have purchased scarves thus far have been thrilled, and I hope to continue this.
