Started selling on Ebay to help offset some of those extras that I need for school. I go to school part-time and have taken the last 1.5 years off to help with my mother and sister. I will be returning in the Spring to continue my studies. I started selling things that I had in my closets and in the attic. I do buy some things from wholesalers, closeout sellers and just deals I happen upon.

I accept PayPal because it is fast and convenient. It also offers protection for both me and the purchaser. I've tried accepting other payments and found them either unreliable or inconvenient. I would only consider accepting bank or post office issued money orders in extreme circumstances. For me to consider it, you would have to be in good standing with Ebay and have no non-payment strikes against you. You would also have to have at least a few Ebay purchases under your belt. Contact me and we'll discuss. If you purchase from me and there is a problem with sending payment within three days of auction end--contact me. I understand that things happen and will work with you. I don't like leaving negative feedback nor reporting to Ebay about non-payers. I will never retaliate with negative feedback. Being negative for no reason and not trying to work things out helps no one.

I prefer shipping FedEx Ground and USPS parcel post. I try to find the cheapest, safest, most reliable way to ship things. Whenever possible, if anyone wishes a shipping quote, please email me; I'll be glad to get you one. I try to be very accurate with shipping costs and I do not try to make up the difference on my auctions with shipping fees. I do charge $1 to $2 packing fee on the auctions to help cover packing costs; this fee is already included in the calculated shipping cost from the shipping calculator. The shipping calculator is nice and is pretty accurate, but if you want an actual quote, I'll happily get you one--please give me a little time, because I take the actual item to the post office or FedEx and get it weighed and quoted to your postal zip code. I do send to international address; it is always advised that international buyers email for a shipping quote to be accurate. Taxes and duties on internationally shipped items is the buyer's responsibility.

New products sold may have warranties etc. with the company that produced them. I test everything, new and used, before I put it up for auction and catch any non-working items before I list them. If something becomes defective, then you would have to contact the manufacturer directly regarding defective items. Used items are sold as:is and are tested prior to sale. My listings state whether or not the item is new or used. Used items are in working condition when shipped. It is up to the buyer to decide if purchasing the used item is a good value; I try to be very accurate in my listings. I describe the items listed honestly. If more information is needed before purchase, please let me know. I'll respond with the necessary information. Need more photos? I will gladly send them. Good communication is the best policy.

Contacting me through Ebay is always best or sarahcarla@gmail.com.
