eBay My World: thepurpledandelion( 617)

As a very creative person, I enjoy all forms of art and individual expression. I respect and appreciate talent and the challenge of reaching a goal. If not for hope and dreams, there would be no starting point for realization. Keep it simple.

I currently sell pet blankets, home decor, baby & children items, Holiday, and gently used items.

Since I make pet blankets for pet owners and rescue/shelter/foster care, I buy many coupons to send with the blankets in appreciation for their caring of so many animals. I also donate many of the coupons to shelter care facilities or buy the item and donate it.

English

I enjoy knitting, crocheting, sewing, floral design, gardening & helping with pet rescue. I am a big supporter of animal shelters and agencies. I sell my blankets to help cover costs of food and supplies I donate to local agencies.

Anything with Shirley McClaine, Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Annette Benning, Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan........and on and on and on.

Love Jeopardy! All the CSI shows, Mentalist, 48 Hours.....etc.

Take time to smell the roses. Enjoy the little things. Keep it simple. Reach for the stars. Sleep less and climb higher mountains, and always........tell your parents you love them.

Even as a child I would make things and run around the neighborhood knocking on doors trying to sell everything for nothing! It was a good learning experience and was the beginning of exploring every creative outlet that was available. I was an accomplished seamstress by the time I got to high school, taught myself to knit in 7th grade and the rest is history. I am currently involved with making Prayer Shawls which is a very heartfelt experience. My heart and soul goes into everything I do and the rewards are endless.

Currently accepting Paypal only. Even though I do not think their fees are justified. They make interest off our money......that should be enough!!!

Will ship U.S. Postal service at best rates being First Class or Priority. Combined shipping available. Insurance extra. Very fast shipping time and reasonable postage fees.

No returns.

I feel that Ebay is in the business of providing a source outlet for people to buy and sell. To do so, there is a fee involved which must be covered by the Ebayer. In turn, the Ebayer must be able to list and sell their product at a price that will not only bring a return, but also cover all Ebay fees. Items not sold will cost the Ebayer money that may never be recouped. I feel very strongly about listing items both auction and buy it now. As a seller you are in effect a business person who should know the value of your product and reflect that in the listing prices. It is a hit or miss on Ebay, but with perseverance who knows what the limits could be. I feel eBay fees are becoming excessive. If this continues, I do not see the majority of eBayers continuing with their ventures.

With the economy the way it is, no one can get rich on eBay. There are those who use eBay to subsidize their storefront businesses, but for the little guy there is no get rich quick formula. eBay is a vast sea of competition and the bottom line is someone has to want your product at a reasonable price to buy it.
