You Can Just Never Tell
by Stuart Livesey
Toni is doing a lot of shopping on eBay at the moment. She’s in the process of setting up another small business that will operate an online gift shop so she’s looking for bulk deals on all sorts of costume jewellery.
It’s been quite a while since I looked at eBay so I was surprised to see Toni winning items and ‘buying now’ from suppliers in mainland China. I didn’t say a lot about it but I was concerned that she would never see the items that was buying.
After about four weeks of buying I’m glad I didn’t say much because I would be eating my words if I had. Every item that Toni has bought from China has arrived in a very timely fashion. Not only did they arrive but the items in the mail matched the descriptions on the auction page on eBay.
The only bad experience Toni has had so far came from a seller right here in Australia where the advertising on the auction page was very misleading.
Come to think of it, our last bad experience on eBay involved a seller right here in Australia too.
