eBay My World: mamacitabobbi( 317)

I'm the mother of four (3 boys, 1 girl) and grandmother of 2 (girls) so far. I have been sewing since I was 9 (51 years). I absolutely love Ebay. All that stuff to look at without even leaving the house. And with the price of gas now, that's good!

I learned to sew from my mother and aunties. Took sewing classes in 4-H for 9 years and Home Ec in high school for 4 years. I began entering sewing competitions while in 4-H and continued until 2006. I've won numerous Best of Shows at local and county levels. A dress I made for a friend's daughter won a Best of Show at the Gold Country Fair in 1990 and was displayed at Disneyland. Although I won many First Place Premiums at the California State Fair, I never realized my goal of winning a Best of Show there. Now that I am selling on Ebay I can no longer compete as an Amateur. I am content knowing that the doll clothes I make will be making little girls all over the United States happy.

I've been buying on Ebay since 1999. I began selling steadily on Ebay in November, 2007 however, my first sale on Ebay was in 2000 when I sold my 1986 Ford Bronco to a man who had it shipped to Hawaii. He probably paid more for the shipping than he did for the Bronco. I do Ebay in addition to my almost full time job.

I prefer Paypal but will accept money orders, cashier's checks or personal checks.

I prefer shipping to only the US because I usually end up going to the post office at least twice (once to determine how much it will cost and again to actually ship the item) and I don't like filling out the forms for international shipping.

I will happily accept returns but so far all my buyers have been satisfied with the items they purchased.

One thing I've discovered about Ebay that I think is really great is if you buy something that doesn't fit or you decide you don't care for you can turn around and sell it. And, you can usually recoup your costs. Sometimes you can even make a profit.
