I've found a lot of my favorites that way XD<br /><br />I *HATE* ebay though. Or... more to the point, I hate the huge fees they take out, and I hate paypal.<br /><br />Yes, paypal is terribly convenient, and I'll keep using it because of that... but their new "buyer protection program" is insane. It should be called the "Screw the seller" program.<br /><br />I sent an item to Italy (a known problem country, and I will never ship there again) via the method the buyer requested... all provable in ebay emails between the buyer and I, and it was a slower shipping method... and paypal held me responsible for it taking longer and completely refunded the buyer.<br /><br />During this time, they held my funds hostage for about 3 weeks as well... and any money I had coming in went straight to them.<br /><br />So... now the buyer got all of their money back... and my item... and I just lost out on everything... the item, the shipping... my time.<br /><br />It really, really pisses me off.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111661500387424612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-47613791652750682002011-02-24T07:05:46.478-08:002011-02-24T07:05:46.478-08:00Hi Kelly, nice read again. I like your thoughts ab...Hi Kelly, nice read again. I like your thoughts about the buying choice from a website and Etsy. I completely agree about links taking you all over the world to buy an item too. I have just decided as a matter of routine to update my website and Etsy at the same time, this will give potential customers the choice. However I would also like to add a buy it now button on my website, but with three different totals including postage amounts in a drop down menu of the paypal button I worry the item could be bought 3 times, or am I just worried about nothing???<br /><br />As for ebay, well if I want something I always look to see if there is a buy it now, cant stand to wait around for something that I know I really want. However a few weeks ago I tried to bid on a book for D and lost in the last few seconds, within about 20 minutes I had an email stating the seller had 2 books, and nobody would own two of that same book. I was infomred I could have the book for my last bid. Have a guess what I didnt buy the book, becasue I was wise to his scam, he'd pushed the price up, hoping I would outbid him, so he was left with a book and no cashmelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14178808448034795499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-86622506488342154742011-02-24T06:42:30.178-08:002011-02-24T06:42:30.178-08:00Hello Kelly, You have an interesting webpage.

For someone who does not use outlook they cannot contact you. I use gmail, and would have copy and pasted your address to gmail. <br /><br />I just wanted to tell you that your page was interesting, nice to look at and easy to navigate, so I tell you here instead. <br /><br />However if someone who does not want to use outlook wanted to purchase something and ask you a question it may present a problem.<br />Just something to consider.

I will bid for little things that may make enhancements for the bears, but I refuse to ever set my heart on getting something on e-bay without a 'Buy it now' option within my price range!<br /><br />I haven't ventured onto Etsy as a seller yet, but perhaps I shall try and embrace that later in the year. I will still sell the bears through my site as well though ;o)Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.com
