Can I have some advice pls/

I might be selling some stamps on Ebay but I'm in two minds as to whether or not to allow returns....I mean, concievably someone could buy them, stamp loads of images and then ask to return them stating the stamps aren't what they wanted after all...or am I being paranoid?
I hate Ebay and have been stung in the past both as a buyer and as a seller.
I'm not I would buy from a seller who said no returns though.

Any thoughts?

Hiya npsmama

I always state 'no returns' on everything I sell. I have not found it puts people off of buying. Realistically, if they pay by Paypal, they can, if they wanted, claim a refund and say the items weren't received or were not what they expected. Thankfully, most people don't do this though. I agree with you, I think you might get someone who would use the stamp then return it so I think you should state 'no returns' just to protect you abit more.

Tiredmum - lovely cupcakes, I'm, sure they will be well received.

Hope everyone else is ok today.

Told you! Sneaked the remote and as soon as I touched it he said - what are you doing lol!

Do you want to carry on with the ATC swap this month Gemma or shall I take back the reins?

DTB glad your sis got home safely and that she liked the bunting you and &son worked so hard on

glittermum hope your OH has a good birthday tomorrow, the cakeless cake sounds yummy

craftyjuju so pleased you can make it to the NEC now!!

lou and CT - your blog additons are beautiful

dragonllew glad your images reached you safely, sorry it took me so long!

rusty and mary sorry you're both not feeling great at the moment

padster, we could alternate each month if you like so we each get a break? up to you

my spendy elves have been out today! i ordered the new docrafts mag and a cuttlebug folder from cutting edge crafts (thanks for the link npsmama!) Also, I was using my plastic fold creaser thingy earlier and the flat end snapped off! so of course I had to order one, wasn't a bad price, only £29.99 and it comes with a scor-pal included :rotfl:

thanks for everyone who gave me such great advice, I have decided to get the big one in inches (due to the tutorials and standard sizes of cardmaking stuff) and the metric one in mini as recommended to me by choccy

Quick one from me just to say hi! been so busy and now im onto baby watch tonight, OH normally gets up to the little miss at nights but im taking over as she's very grumpy today, I took my eyes off her for two seconds and she fell over and smacked her head on a wooden bench! My fault I know she can't sit on her own yet I did have my arm round her just not tight enough. So I'm feeling bad and she has a tiny baby bruise bless her.

Paddingtondoo - My OH is like that so I just stare at him till he thinks I'm going to hurt and he lets me have my way lol!
npsmama - If you are worried about that happening put no returns that way it wont happen, though if you put them on CP I may let my spendy elves run amok! lol

CT, thought you might like to see the card I made with the Dustin Pike images that dragonllew has linked to:

Thanks JHB, that is a really fabbie card you have made - bet Clark loved it. I've tried to down load that dragon image so that I can colour it in paintshop pro, as I don't have enought different promarkers to do it by hand, but I can't separate the images, to colour individual parts on the PC. Thanks to the lovely Pointofnoreturn, she has sent me some bits that I have designed a card in Publisher, will put it on my blog tomorrow, once my son has given his approval:rotfl:. I think it is fab though!

Thanks for all your help ladies xx

Awww thanks, glad to have been able to help you. I have got quite a collection of bits and bobs that I have downloaded over the last few years so all free so if anyone gets stuck looking for anything in particular, give me a shout as always willing to help if I can!!!

Look forward to seeing the finished card.

Oh I am so disappointed in the Promarkers!!! :(:(

I could cry - it's like colouring in with white board markers!!
I'm looking around at tutorials but at the moment I must admit I feel I've wasted my money.
The colours are good but only once they've had a chance to dry - at first they look awful - the Ivory actually was GREY when it was wet!!! :eek:

I can't get the colours to blend together and the so-called blender pen does remove the colour but the result looks wet even when it's dry.

Really gutted at this stage.

Wishfulcomper - hi and welcome to the thread

Saucy - aren't Promarkers just fab :T

TiredMom - I've parcelled up some bits for you so I'll pop them in the post to you on Monday

Sorry, I'm sure there must be more to reply to but it's been a lonnggg day.

Just to say that I've updated my blog (username / homepage) with the fab atc the Padster sent me and a few other piccies.

Take care all, luv Thriftyxxx

I have a few promarker questions...
Do they run out easily? I'm colouring ever so carefully, in case they do...

And do they smudge? Like, once they have dried?

I'm addicted...if anyone has any spares, I'll gladly buy them!
