eBay My World: weseeshinythings( 103)

Hi, there ebayers! We are both now, unemployed due to the economic crash (we were both working in construction related fields, my husband in advertising for new homes, and myself as an office manager of a small construction company), from California.

Things MADE IN THE USA! Handmade treasures of love! = D Kid's Purses, Eyeglass Cases, Handmade toys, Handmade Jewelry, and Treasures of the Heart! Anything shiny that catches our eye, that we think others may love.

We've bought a few things here and there online, but not in quite some time. We buy mostly toys for our goddaughters, and our nieces and nephews, and we've bought a few movies too! If we were rich though, we'd buy tons of old antiques and collectibles, we love old treasures!! : )

Barbies! Frogs! Hot Wheels! Cookie Jars! Old Toys! Colored Glass! and that's all we can afford for now! Someday when we finish school we're planning on getting a lot of old stuff that's amazing like that! For now, we have a few things that we love! : )

English

Keeping involved with politics, and being good, well informed, decent, hard working, patriotic Americans. Doing our best to be good people, servants of God, and to love our fellow man. Writing, singing, and making crafts are also our hobbies.

The Bible, The Color Purple, Poetry, and any book that contains a message that is aimed at the improvement of humanity.

We love Disney movies! We also love comedies, as well as any movie that has a message that helps the world be a better place, like Pay it Forward.

Christmas Music! It fills the heart with warmth! he he, we love music in general, all kinds, all genres. Music is food for the soul. = )

Disney Stuff, and anything funny at all, or again with a positive moral message.

I was laid off in Feb. shortly after the official recession began,due to my employer's business tanking. My husband was let go the week before Christmas,the same year,when his company lost all of its accounts for California,and decided to close their California branch for good!! We've been struggling ever since,losing our first home we were buying,and also my car,due to the severe drop in income. We had to quit ebay,along with both of us quitting college for now, due to our inability to afford either one at present. We ended up getting a credit from ebay for what they had overcharged us in the pa,which now that I am no longer on unemployment (my benefits were exausted in Sept.,and the Senate still has not passed more help),so we are now destitute. We have internet because we now rent a room,as we can't afford our own place,and internet is included! We now drive an old clunker,and can't afford gas,let alone insurance,and things are really just hard. I hope Ebaying Helps.

WeSeeShinyThings is just two people trying to survive, by using the talents that God has given us.

We accept pay pal, or money orders!

We choose to use the good old USPS. We go with the cheapest route humanly possible for shipping, which so far 100% of the time has been the USPS. I do also check the prices on other shipping services, before we ship, just to make sure that the method we choose is the cheapest! If I ever find that UPS is cheaper for anything, I will contact you as the customer and give you the choice to use it, despite my personal beliefs that they have been unkind to some of their workers. We care the most that our customers are happy, and want you to have the choice! You can email us prior to completing your payment for the item(s) you won, if you need an expedited service, and we can alter your invoice so that this is possible. We ship within 2 days of receiving payment, usually the same day payment is recieved, in fact whenever possible! We will notify you when the item is shipped, and please let us know if the item does not arrive with 1 wk from the date of payment, it usually takes 3 days!

We will accept returns, if the item is not satisfactory (which so far has never happened), but you must pay the postage to return the item to us. We of course will absorb the cost of the postage for having sent it, as well as take the item back and issue a full refund in a timely manner. If you intend to return, please email us and let us know! Communication is key, and there are many alternatives to returning, that we can work with you on, once we're aware of any problem! Please don't give us a bad comment, if you haven't communicated with us, to let us know what the problem is, and given us a chance to make it right. We want you not just to like your purchase, but to LOVE it, so you'll find we strive to make that a reality by any means we can! Please just give us the benefit of the doubt, and don't be afraid to ask, if ther is anything you need, or if you have any concern at all, no matter how small! We love talking to our customers, and becoming friends, we'd love to meet you!

Please note that 4 stars, though it sounds good in theory, on the shipping cost section, will prevent our listing from being shown as much! This hurts us dearly! So, if you like us, please give us 5 stars for shipping costs! I know it seems silly that 4 stars is bad, but those are ebay's new rules, and we must live by them! If you have a problem with the price of shipping in any way, please contact me, and I will explain for you what the cost of shipping involves, and that we ourselves don't make a single penny on you the customer when it comes to shipping! Packaging materials are the cheapest we can buy, we don't charge for our time, we try and keep costs as low as humanly possible! The postage price is not determined by us, and we ALWAYS use the cheapest shipping available, unless our customers request otherwise, specifically! God Bless, WeSeeShinyThings

We apply for every job we can find, and have driven over 2 hrs from home for interviews, only to be told we are overqualified,etc., and to be turned away. Our job historys are solid, and we have skills, but no college education, since we haven't finished yet, and now no longer can afford to go. I pray to God that we find a job soon, though after sending out hundreds and hundreds of applications and resumes, month after month, we still have not found work. We are hard workers, both have been praised by our former employers for our work ethic, and yet here we are for the first time in our lives, destitute and jobless, relying on the crumbs of unemployment, and the mercy of the senate in order to live. I pray my hardest every single day, knowing that we are lucky just to have shelter for now, and that so many Americans, are not so lucky. We are in the hands of God, and we trust in him our fate. We will work hard, we just need a chance. God bless those who are suffering.
