eBay My World: ruthrat( 1541)

I work in a California Cardroom as a Tournament Director. I also volunteer in a small thrift store benifiting the Juvenile Hall. I recently put in a costume department for our little store. All my Ebay proceeds are sucked out of my wallet by my kids.

I always sell used Kem playing cards and often sell collectibles, (from my years of volunteering in 2nd hand stores).

Not too much on Ebay. The occasional pair of running shoes for my husbank. I do most of my shopping at the flea market, garage sales or in the dumpsters behind nice apartment houses. (Only kidding.)

Things I already own too much of are plastic advertising dolls, folk art from around the world, black dolls, non-Disney cartoon dolls, Things bigger or smaller than life-size, antique sewing notions and office supplies, vintage trolls, pee-wee Herman stuff, odd and old toys, 60's and 70's vintage everything...

I work, work, work and couldn't be happier. There's alot to be said for 'not having to look for a job'.

I registered on Ebay to clean out my attic and basement. I soon discovered that if I don't stop buying stuff, I can't make a dent. That was years ago and the house is still packed from top to bottom.

I'm very flexible and accept any form of U.S. money.

You can see by my feedback that I mail almost immediately and I'm a packaging Mavin.

I supose I should have a policy just to put my buyers at ease. I've NEVER had anyone want to return anything. My descriptions and pictures are the key to my happy buyers. And it doesn't hurt that you receive your goods in just a few days.

When you win I'll tell you where I live and how to call me. That's fair.

Fees?! I love to pay fees. That means I'm selling stuff. Everything in this life has a price. Ebay fees are very reasonable if you compare them with opening a retail store, running ads for garage sales, paying for a spot at the flea market or listing on other auction sites where my stuff doesn't bring in as much money. I love Ebay and when I need extra cash I can just drag something down off the shelf and sell it. Nice country America.

The 'Perfect Buyer' always READS the entire description and looks at the pictures and knows what his postage will be BEFORE he bids on anything. He isn't afraid to ask questions, (and he doesn't ask them in the last few hours of the listing). When he wins, he pays quickly or emails with the info of when and how he plans to pay. The best shoppers are the ones that look over thier merchandise carefully when it arrives and notifies the seller immediately with any concerns. The transaction isn't over untill the BUYER is happy. When he is satisfied he leaves wonderful feedback, (or emails the person instead), to let the seller know she can 'move on' to the next buyer, (and at this point she can praise the buyer in feedback form also). The Perfect Customer comes back for more. Thanks and Good Luck, Ruthrat
