My eBay Tip: (PayPal fees) see below. #4--Intimate Women's M Bold Floral Short Chemise Gown & "Fits-All" Robe 2 Piece Ruffle This is a bold floral printed short gown with a matching robe.  I thought the brand was Victoria's Secret, but I couldn't find inside tags.  I know it's one I bought when I was younger.  It is elegant, sexy, and so comfy, but being older, I wear a different style of nightgown now. It still looks as good as the day I bought it. It is listed on eBay for $45.98 plus shipping, but Best Offer, BO, is available.  You can pick this up at a very good bargain!  Try making an offer! It would make a romantic Christmas gift! The eBay tip for today is on PayPal transaction fees. These happen immediately in your PayPal account when the buyer purchases your item.  You will see the transaction amount of your item, and also your shipping.  You total is shown, and you'll see -.69 cents or something similar, with the final t...

My eBay Notebook tip for today:   Refunds on eBay. Even if I choose NOT to accept refunds; eBay honors them.  It's all about the buyer's experience.  I do offer refunds, but the buyer pays return shipping. Refunds are not given until the item is received back to the seller.  It must be in the same condition as received. The original shipping when buying the item is NOT refunded.  (If you drive to a brick and mortar store and buy an item, and then drive back to return it, you do not get gas paid for e...

The sun is up!!!  Do you "eBay"???? Ah!  Yes!  "I bought it on eBay!" Now retired for 2 1/2 years, my mind is thinking, there must be more to this thing called retirement. I also wanted/needed to eliminate clutter from my home.  I'd never even bought anything on eBay! So, I did!  I bought my first item, and it was like, "Wow!  It's easy to buy on eBay!" So, how is it for selling?  I put up my first item.  And then a second, third ... and on and on.  I watched YouTube videos, and joined Facebook eBay groups.  I read, learned, and kept on listing.  I sold my first item in 20 days!  Wow!  What a rush! For now, I'm learning the "in's" and "out's".  It's still a hobby right now.  I won't make a lot of money this year, but next year, I'll have to get into business mode. Sixteen sales later, I'm still learning more every day. I admit, I am NO PRO, but I am very happy with my journey to...
