Support Animals on eBay Month!

EBay always encourages its sellers to support non-profits with portions of their sales through eBay Giving Works.
July is dedicated to support animal causes.  As an animal lover, I do this as often as I can but will pay extra attention during this month.
I encourage all animal lovers to visit my eBay store, CaramiasCollection.com as well as other eBay vendors and support the cause!

The Missing Belleek

Selling online has its ups and downs and thankfully more ups than downs.
At Caramia's Collection, I recently had a lovely piece of Belleek listed wondering if it was going to find a new home and it did on April 3rd, it was going to California!
The mystery began the day after it was dropped at my local post office for shipment -- the package was scanned and then virtually disappeared.
Despite numerous calls to the USPS customer service number and conversations with my local postal reps, this lovely piece could not be located and yet it did have a tracking number and that number just seemed to stop with no reason or explanation available.
In my mind, I figured this package was surely missing but my buyer wanted it and was willing to wait it out.  I called and bothered the postal employees on a daily basis and never got a definitive answer.
And then, on May 2nd, the package reappeared and was safely delivered.  Who knows where it stopped on the way, why the package "went missing", why it is so hard to get a straight answer -- what I do know is that I have a happy buyer and that's what Caramia's Collection is all about!

Virtual Online Learning and Me

Seasons change as well as the ways of doing business online.  As a member of VirtualOnlineLearning.com, I have learned and grown as an eBay business owner and plan to continue to do so under the guidance of Danna Crawford, founder of VOL.  It has been a wonderful experience working with her and the other members and as a result, I gained the "courage" to re-brand my business and am so pleased with the results.  Here's our new logo -- would love to hear your thoughts.

Happy Birthday KATE!

Today marks the 30th birthday of The Duchess of Cambridge who has rapidly become a fashion icon.  Kate Middleton's choice of clothing from her everyday wear to her stunning, not over the top wedding gown has had style watchers talking the way they did when Princess Diana was alive.  It is refreshing to see a woman who can have anything purchase items "off the rack" and look amazing and make the rest of us feel that looking stunning is accessible at any price range.
Here's to Kate -- happy birthday and many more!
