Lovely sellers

I’ve decided, as a buyer, that there’s lots of really lovely eBay sellers out there. I made a lowish offer on some posh skincare products which was accepted. I contacted the seller to thank her for accepting my offer and explained that it was going to be a raffle prize at our pensioners Christmas party. She responded and said she’d put some extra things in.

I've been an eBay user for a long time. Over the years, I have been to many people's homes to collect the items I have bought; appliances, furniture, gym equipment, parts for cars and for my boat, etc. Without exception, they have been honest, friendly and just really nice people. It gives me hope for the future.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.2

It really resonates - there are so many nice people out there. It's one of those things like smiling at others - it really is contagious!!!

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that bring joy. Last Spring we were shopping in our local supermarket. I was feeling a bit miserable as I had just had a B12 jab and they can be particularly painful. When we left a little girl, no more than 3 or 4 came up to me and gave me a daffodil then skipped back to her mother. She turned round and gave me a wave and sweet smile. I waved back and suddenly felt happy. I took the daffodil home and put it into my prettiest vase and whenever I looked at it I smiled.Brie said:It really resonates - there are so many nice people out there.

I would totally agree with that; 99.9% of the sellers I've dealt with have been absolutely super and quite often send a sweet little note with their item ( also messaging me when they actually post my purchase.)Murphybear said:I’ve decided, as a buyer, that there’s lots of really lovely eBay sellers out there.

I've also had postage refunded with having to request it; which is very honest of them and quite refreshing these days.A cunning plan, Baldrick? Whatever it was, it's got to be better than pretending to be mad; after all, who'd notice another mad person around here?.......Edmund Blackadder.1
