Geneceleste ebay page If you are like me you may have a lot of allergies and when making any online purchases you want to have an ease of mind about whether that item you just bid on is smoke, pet, and dust free. Many Sellers, I have found, do not take the time to list these important details in there descriptions. Sadly, many auctions that state they are new & never used have been covered in dust, smoke and pet dander for a year or longer! That makes a really big difference to a buyer who may have health risks, such as asthma attacks, than can be triggered by these hidden flaws. Or for the enthusiastic purchaser that just bought a new item to give as a gift only to have it arrive smelling horribly. I have even purchased a new doll out of box and had found that the previous owner had poured a perfumed oil into the dolls head and hair! I was shocked to think such a significant piece of information was left off of the auction description! Every day a dozen more auctions that I am watching or interested in bidding on don't list Pet and smoke free, so it is up to the buyer to email this question to the seller and then wait for the response. A few times I have missed a buy it now or ending soon auction that was not responded to in time for me to make a bid. As a Seller I have taken a stand to include this type of info in All of my listings for Buyers to feel extra safe and secure! For other sellers I would recommend they take the few seconds to include a short description into your item descriptions to offer more bidding and at ease buyers!
