When i started on ebay i will admit i was No expert. i soon realized by buying item's how great or poorly items where shipped to me.

For example, i bought two outfit's for my daughter they were nothing special just two cute, super cheap outfit for summer, sound's great right ....WRONG ..when i opened up my mailbox one day i saw a teddy grahms box in it i thought ...wow a free sample ...but no it was her two outfits jammed in side you got it an actual Teddy Grahms box...lol no brown paper to even cover it up just a lable . the clothes were so wrinkled i could not belive someone would actually send it that way, no matter how much i paid for it..EVERY EBAY PURCHACE should be handled the way YOU would like it to be shipped.

Below are a few helpful hints to make sure that the person receiving your items get them in the best way they can.

REMEMBER....people buy your item's and have to wait in excitment of using or wearing them....don't disappoint them , we all work hard for the money we spend and to make ebay better we need to be the best all the way around from listing to shipping .

tip 1... make sure you inspect the item for tears or stain's, buttons missing , zipper working...(if you find a flaw don't panic..message the person who bought the item and see if they will take it as it is,  if not refund the money because, you don't want the person receving it to be mad for being disceived..you need repeat buyer's)

tip 2... ship in a box or package bag that is clean big enough , so items are not a wrinkled mess(NO TEDDY GRAHM BOXES LOL)

tip 3 ..put your clothing item wrapped in tissue paper or a zip lock bag so, the item will not get wet if rained on .

tip 4.. message the person that you have mailed the item and an estimate on when they should receive it.(always try to ship item asap ..i have waited weeks to receive an outfit for my daughter, it is very frustrating)

tip5.. when a buyer pay's promply LEAVE FEEDBACK, it is polite and help's all of us keep our ebay score , people will buy from you with confidance.

tip 6 ..remember treat every item you sell as though it is important , even if it sell's for 1.00 , you put in on and someone bought it...treat it like a business (even if it's just a sweater that has been hanging in your closet for 3 year's)

i truly belive that in this busy world ebay is the way to shop....i havn't been a member as long as other's and i am not a power seller yet..but i love ebay and want every experiance to be a great one ...your customer might be mine next time and i want them to have confidance in me ....lynnz231
