i think i use the same fabric seller as mentioned above
they sent me a heart filled with lavender with my material

knowing what i do about herbs, i know you should not use lavender in or on anything to be worn by a male
so no, its not the best thing to do in this instance
and i LOVE the smell of it myself

Why? I love lavender and it was used by Roman soldiers for the entire lifespan of the Empire? And I am a huge bloke who does martial arts and used to be a rugby union prop forward.

I got a family picture (assuming the sellers family) with a blade runner DVD, have no idea why.

im quite jelous! you lot keep getting free things and ive only got one free out of the entire 6 years ive been on ebay

Dont moan about, just keep it. If you feel that it is no way in relation to your item then question the seller. Why the hell would you feel obliged to pay for it? you didnt order it, it was their mistake, they should either pay postage or say just keep it and keep in mind to be more careful next time.

and i wouldnt dare eat sweets from a seller... there are too many nutters out there!

I got a little bag of sweets with a t shirt I bought for my son and I thought it was a really nice touch.
Why wouldn't you eat sweets sent from a seller if they were in sealed packet or wrapped lolly pop?
I've included the odd sweet item from time with stuff i've sold through amazon and ebay.

As people can go to serious lengths in fiding ways to contaminate items with out breaking the seals. Anything else mind and i'll snap their hands off. haha

On saying that I do love a freebie, the bead supplier I use always sends a little free sample stapled to the invoice which is lovely.

I mis-read that as a sample of bread!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I thought that too.

Firebox always include sweeties in orders, never seen a problem with it (I don't actually eat them though, as they seem to be gummis and I'm a veggie- still appreciate the idea though. )

Sorry if this sounds ungrateful, but I'm getting a tad irritated by sellers who include a free gift with my item and don't mark it as such on the invoice or mention it in the listing. I'm not the kind of person who just assumes an extra item is free and keeps it - for all I know somebody else could have ordered that item and is waiting for it somewhere. It has happened 3 times so far just this week and only one of the items was marked "free gift" with a little smiley, which I thought was very sweet. That seller has a happy customer, the other 2 have a slightly confused customer.

It means I have to send an email to the seller and ask. If the item is not a gift and I ask the seller and he says it's a mistake then I will feel obliged to send it back to them or pay for it. With the return postage at my expense presumably.

Sellers, if you include a gift or sample PLEASE say so in your listing or just scribble on the invoice so we know! Thank you.

Depends what the extra is I suppose. If it's a little thing of not much value why not just assume it's a pressie and they're trying to please their customers and build goodwill and a good ebay profile?
