| Most Recent Posts Trouble Contacting a SellerPosted May-12-08 12:57:48 PDT Lately I spend so much time on ebay that I forget, or don't have time to work on my personal email, so of course, the mailbox is full. I've found that several buyers who have tried to contact me, only do so through my personal email. It seems that maybe people don't realize that if they click on the "Contact Seller" link that their message will come to me through ebay, even if my own mailbox is full. Iguess I really need to work on clearing my mailbox, but maybe it's a good idea to put a little note on an invoice and/or a packing slip to always contact someone through the ebay site. That way it will avoid frustration for the buyers who can't reach me. Anyone else ever have this problem? Packing Small Items, Recycle TooPosted May-06-08 07:42:55 PDT I sell a lot of jewelry and small items that I don't always have a box for. It gets pretty costly buying the little cardboard jewelry boxes at the craft store. For some reason, I've always saved my old prescription bottles, knowing I'd put them to good use someday. Well I finally thought of it. To pack a small item, I just wrap it in a little piece of bubble wrap or tissue paper, and put it in the pill bottle. I clean the bottle and remove the label before doing this of course. I also pre-printed some little labels that say "This Bottle Contains No Medication" to affix to it as well, just in case anyone feels funny about it. I also affix a little label listing what the bottle does contain. Some bottles are very difficult to get the complete label off of, so with those, I wrap a blank shipping label around to make it look better. Then I can either write on it, or just stick my little labels over it. I like to ship using the bubble envelope mailers, so this is a good way to make sure my item is better protected, and I feel good about recycling something. I also save those thin cardboard sheets that come in some of the things I buy, and cut them up to make my own little boxes for my items too. Another way to recycle! |
