Let me first start out by saying that I find being able to sell and on this board is a privledge and I do appreciate it.

I just have a little tip to buyers....When you inquire about an item and shipping please advise seller that you might need a payment plan or a pay later date before you commit to buying something. As a seller I am usually open to helping others out since I have been there and done that but it is always nice to know these things before transaction actually takes place. I for one was in the habit of mailing items while I was at the post office getting shipping costs. I have MS and it was cutting down on the trips I was having to make to po. I have two wonderful clerks who help me tremenously on getting the cheapest way to ship an item - I have even seen them stuff an envelope for me that I didnt think could be done lol

After items are shipped I advise buyers of their total cost including shipping. Some of the buyers would tell me that
they will pay later - It is hard for us to keep track of all of this.....I do realize that things come up suddenly and there are emergencies and illnesses to take care of which is understandable. Please dont assume that later pay dates and pay plans are okay if not discussed first. The sellers are often times out the postage up front and prevents them from buying from other sellers because funds are tied up.

To sum it up - dont get me wrong - I DO appreciate selling here on the board an want to continue the great relationships developed here. I will make exceptions 99.99% of the time when I know up front. Buyers expect sellers to be totally up-front and not hold anything back on their items and sellers would like the same courtesy.

This is not aimed at anyone-I hesitated to put up at all but just thought I would mention it thanks IT IS NOT MY INTENT TO HURT ANYONES FEELINGS!!! IF I HAVE I AM SORRY....I am more than okay with transactions that I have already completed..thanks cheryl
