eBay My World: sandraliz33( 1639)

I love eBay, am nicely addicted to it, bought myself a million fab items, as well as presents sent direct to friends, for the 1st year, before trying selling. I love it. Learnt by being a buyer, what makes a good seller.

Pretty clothing and ornaments, odd items. Not odd odd, I mean just the occasional item! New Belgravia furniture, as I buy for myself in sets I sell on what I don't want from the set. I am thinking of branching into renovating 2nd hand, but haven't yet - all 2nd hand pieces have been for me. Update: I have now branched into repainting seconds Belgravia + 2nd hand Belgravia. I prepare the surfaces well making any repairs needed, filling and sanding, as well as sanding between coats. The results are a cheaper price for folks for an item that looks as good, though the slightly distressed finish has gone (some people prefer no distressed finish anyway) although I do rub back to regain effect after painting, if requested. Please check out my listings. I practice good seller attitude and behaviour always.

dolls house minatures, fab items, anything that makes me go 'wow!' 2nd hand Belgravia to furnish the whole house affordably!

I practice good seller attitude & behaviour always, eBay is just a hobby but I offer a highly professional & personal style of service and customer care (not all the actual professional sellers on eBay do!) I like to be helpful in true eBay spirit whenever I can. I've had no trouble with buyers, with the exception of one gentleman who held a grudge after I couldnt deliver to him some 300 miles away (he had not read the listing properly), who bought, went silent for weeks, & never paid. He got a strike & so opened a new account just to press a buy it now of mine for a reel of packing tape at 99p, never paid & left me negative feedback. It's a shame a few try to spoil it for the rest of us. Just had a buyer accuse me of lying on a listing & tampering with a perfume. I very politely reassured her but she continued to accuse. I'm a scrupulously honest seller. Assurances were not enough for her nor was an offer of refund and she left unfair neutral feedback. You just can't please some folks

None! This is just a hobby, but I treat buyers the way I would have loved to have always been treated as a buyer on eBay myself. If that sometimes means going out of my way, I will whenever possible as it is important to me that each transaction is a win win situation. I have had shoddy treatment from sellers often enough to know how miserable it makes the whole experience. Unless a buyer is taking the micky, and I've only had one so far who was, I will bend over backwards for folks if I have the time, whether it's to lead to a sale or not, and have received many lovely messages during & after trading. Only 1 buyer abused my eagerness to be helpful & accommodating, and she was still treated professionally & politely, she was even given a goodwill discount. I believe each transaction should be a win win situation. ie, we should BOTH gain, not just the seller, nor just the buyer. We are equal traders. That's the beauty of eBay. I've had a good trading experience nearly every single time.

Cash on delivery or collection unless otherwise discussed, paypal, postal orders, cheques or echeques all accepted for sent items.

I tend to underestimate and pay the difference myself. We offer quite a bit of delivery to help out those unable to collect large items.

No need when we deliver or folks collect as we encourage thorough inspection so that a buyer is happy before paying. I offer returns on some clothing. I always try to be accommodating, it is a pleasure.
