Deceitful eBay Sellers

Liar, liar, pants on fire …

Well it seems even “asking relevant questions” to a 100% Ebay seller does not make a difference to the outcome of a purchase.

My question : Hello xxxx Could you describe as close as possible the condition of this magazine. I am a collector and will purchase if the magazine is in near perfect condition. I understand the magazine in not new, but I have been burned in the past. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you.

The response : Hello Janette, the book is in very good condition for a 'secondhand' book; internally I would say unread, the spine is not creased at all and it is clean and tightly bound, free from writing etc.The covers show minor imperfections but no tears. Hope this helps xxxx

In my opinion, an INK STAIN on the back cover would not be considered “very good condition” or “minor imperfections”.

Clearly the seller is unethical and to be avoided, but unfortunately I cannot bring myself to expose this deceitful seller here on my blog.

Oh how I wish there were a place to list these people simply to keep them honest.

I want my money back including postage and ‘she’ will not give it to me.

What are we supposed to do when the 100% rated eBay sellers are deceiving us? eBay will certainly do absolutely nothing, so not wasting my time there.

I will not leave ‘her’ feedback and I bet ‘she’ will not leave me feedback, although I deserve superduper feedback.

Which is what I experience each time a designer releases a new knitting book (well, those that I follow!). One in particular is Kim Hargreaves and her new book, Nectar. Simply - Inspiring!

H is for Holidays and Hugs

H is for Holidays and Hugs







The school Holidays are drawing to a close. The Princess spent a night and a day with me. We went to the movies and saw Horton Hears a Who, consumed popcorn and lemonade, because I was told that is what you do when you go to the moves - you eat popcorn and drink lemonade!

We went to lunch afterward – where of where do these little people stuff all this food and drink!

The afternoon was spent reading books and watching favourite kids shows on Foxtel.

Who enjoyed themselves the most … I think I did!

Hugs to you Princess xx

Goal

I have one in particular I have been working on since January and now close to achieving it. I’ve been going to Weight Watchers and lost 8 kilos. My goal is 13 kilos before the end of the year.


Guilt

I fell behind on the ABC Along when my IP had problems and we were without our service for approximately 5 weeks.

I often find myself rushing at the end of a day, never having completed all the ‘things’ I want to in one day.

Kim Hargreaves - Three Years On...

Congratulations KH – your fabulous design company celebrates three years!

Looking forward to the new book release – NECTAR launch approximately April 25th.

Kim Hargreaves - Nectar

Another book due out any minute!!!!

I've not even knitted anything from the last one.

Internet Access - NIL

Have been internetless since Monday, March 3rd.

My provider and the phone company are blaming each other!

Meanwhile, I have no access, apart from time to time when husband has his laptop available.

Support from both parties is unsatisfactory ... I hope this ends soon.

No knitting!

Been partying with two of my favourite little men.

Happy Birthday - two years already!
