3rd guide of Hopw to buy on eBay-Tips and tricks

    There are no general rules how to buy or sell on eBay, but there are couple of good advices that sellers/ buyers can give you.
In case of buying, always check if there is a Better Offer available for you item. You may send  in this offer to the seller, that of course is less then the listing price.

If the seller will accept your offer for less price, you are a winner, the item is yours.

    Receiving free shipping for the item that you are watching will save you some additional money. In this case the item price might go up higher as the other watchers want to benefit form free shipping and that would just rocket the item price higher.

There are some apps on the smart phones that you can use to automatically bid for you while setting up a maximum bidding price. This app can save you lots of time as you are not required to watch the item and bid for it "live".

 

 

 

The last, but not least, make sure that your seller is honest, while reading the feedbacks left form other buyers. Please make your payment as soon as possible, so your seller can ship out the item for you.

The best part is still the bidding part, at least for myself! Happy bidding!

Please check the description  and pictures of the item that you want to purchase.

 Please make sure that the item's description is matching exactly your needs. When in doubt, ask the seller. Beside watching the item you need to watch the seller as well. Make sure you are buying from  a seller that has a perfect or close to perfect rating. Better the rating, more likely is that you will receive the item you have bought.

Also make sure, the shipping costs are as well convenient for you.
After a winning bid, according to the seller's specifications, the payment needs to be sent.
Lastly an honest feedback needs to be given to the seller.

1st eBay guide - How to sell a briefcase

Selling an item on eBay , successfully, is not hard at all. It needs to contain a true and realistic description of the item that is sold, giving all the measurements, volumes of the item, describing all the extra's and all the flaws that the item is having.
The way how I sell my items is in the view of the buyer. What does the buyer like about my item and how can I make the description the way that it will choose mine against the other 20 or a undress out there to be sold.
First of all, do not write a whole chapter about your item. The description needs to be short, precise and to the point. The description needs to be all true, all the flaws of the item must be described, especially if it is not brand new.
Let's take for example the briefcase for sale in the following link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171322253617?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
The item name already describes a lot about the item, in this case it is a briefcase.
To be able to give a very precise description, pictures are taken and posted beside the written description. The pictures should show the item clearly.

Shipping and handling charges should be clearly stated as well if there is a return policy that applies to the item.
As all these statements were written a nice background of the pictures as a frame, can be chosen to show the item in a favorable way and outstanding from the other items.
If there are any questions from the buyers, make sure, there are all timely answered and they are polite and strait to the point.
Over all: Happy Bidding!

Joy and Karma Vitamin C serum first impressions

As I did with the Joy and Karma Hyaluronic Acid Serum, I will share my first impressions using this product. Both serums were shipped at the same time, ordered from Amazon, and they arrived very fast. The transaction went fast and smooth.
I want to try this serum using it once a day, in the morning and then eventually using it twice daily. The serum is a thin, clear liquid that is dispensed by a dropper in a brown tinted glass container. The consistency is too thin for my taste as after placing couple of drops on my forehead and cheeks, the serum was running down my face before I have had the chance to place the dropper back into the bottle.
Aside form this, the serum can be easily spread out on the face, neck and décolletage. It is very fast sinking into the skin, that I like a lot. For couple of hours just left the serum on my face without applying any moisturizer or makeup on the be able to assess the result of the application.
The skin feels puffy, like you have a  small cloud on your face, it is a good feeling. Compared to other serums I do not feel it on my skin as a thin film layer, actually I do not feel anything beside my skin being more relaxed and being puffy. At this point, I do not know if this is a good or bad sign, but in my next review in 2 weeks, I would report on the long term results.
After these initial assessments, I have applied my daily moisturizer. It was taking more time to the moisturizer to skink in my skin as usual, leaving my skin a bit tacky. As I have normal to dry skin, I do not really think that this is a bad thing as the foundation application was easy and the final result was a dewy finish. Now, this is good winter time, or cold days, but how would my makeup look like in hot and humid weather?
Overall, as a quick assessment I must say that for a first application this serum did not impressed me a lot. There are no immediately visible signs of using it by itself, and used with a daily moisturizer my skin feels tackyer and the foundation that went over looked more dewy than usual.
