eBay My World: squeakybeans( 367)

5yrs.ago I was diagnosed as narcoleptic.I was a school teacher but falling asleep spontaneously when driving or working has made employment impossible so I am counting on ebay sales to make ends meet for my kids and I.

..... No money to buy anything YET ... But, Hopefully soon.

I've collected Way to much over the years, which is great .. because now i have things to sell ! Music is my main love (other than my girls ) and i actually have a PIANO collection.I'll see an old junk piano on a porch or ditch and feel as though it needs to be saved. lol. ya, thats like the worst thing to collect ever. Hoping to get rid of some soon and maybe try something smaller to collect.

English

I play the piano and sing, been in a few great bands, and even have a solo instrumental cd out (locally) I also do Photography and Graphic Arts. Due to my health situation working out of the home is nearly impossible and I have great hopes of starting a photography studio in my home. I already have done some weddings and senior pictures and nothing is quite as rewarding as having someone thrilled and amazed at the way you have captured a special moment in their lives ...I also play darts, chess, and love rock.

I can only tell you about the first 20 minutes of a movie .. once again, I fall asleep. I do remember making it through grosse point blank, and serendipity - they were good.

All Types ! Music brings me to life. Some of my favorites would be Leona lewis, Neil diamond, Neil young, metallica, primus, and Abba. wow - what a combo.

My kids who are the reason i keep listing and trying and my Steve - the Man of my life !

Pay-pal - I used to accept other forms of payment but being disabled and having ebay as my only income i have found that i can't wait for sometimes weeks to receive payments - i am willing to work out things in special circumstances though.

I can not drive and rely on someone to pick up and drop off my packages, right now items leave on tuesdays and thursdays so depending on when payment is made it can sometimes take 4-6 days, but usually only about 3. I am working on having flat rates for everything, but I currently offer usually 3 different options and let the buyer choose what fits their budget or needs better. I would prefer to ship everything priority due to the quality of their shipping boxes and the ease of ordering supplies on line. Though it is sometimes a bit more costly, I have also found it to be a much more reliable service.

I don't accept returns unless the item you receive has been severely damage in shipping. I have been to quick in the past to offer full refunds just to avoid confrontation and keep people happy, but I was losing money by taking back items based on things such as - my daughter didn't like the color -.

You can always message me through eBay for business matters and item questions, but I would also love to meet people that I can consider as new long distant friends. I have a my space page ( http://www.myspace.com/lakephotography )and would love to hear from anyone that may share a common story, hobby, or something. Being isolated in my home all day and every day (especially now that i'm single) It is so nice to have other adults to communicate with. My family is wonderful, but I have not made one friend since I have been here, and sometimes .. it would be nice to have someone to vent to or joke with.

I've lived in mid- missouri most my life and due to financial and personal matters dont see myself leaving anytime soon. I hope to someday open up a small business and be able to work again
