An eBay Seller Provided a Loving Personal Touch to my item

I just had to blog about this and share this story!

I bought a Christmas Ornament from the Charity event hosted by the eBay Selling Tips group "Ornaments for Charity Campaign" AND, this amazing eBay seller went above and beyond by providing a few little EXTRA sweet gestures.

The first brilliant little thing she did was:
She simply printed out the packaging slip through PayPal on colored paper.
Folded it very nice to make it look professional. Then she put a pretty ribbon around it and taped it in place to also include a decorative sticker.

She wrote a THANK YOU by hand on the front.
SEE BELOW:




Next she printed out a lovely poem on a heavier stock of paper. To enhance the poem she included a PIN with a rose on it.
The Card read:

The Story of The Rose

God created the rose for women.
It represents beauty.
Its petals represent soft skin.
Its leaves represent out stretched arms.
Always loving and giving.
Its stem represents strength.
So, I give this rose to you.
For you are special to me.
Every time yo look at the rose,
Remember that you are SOMEBODY!
God did not take the time to make a
Nobody!!!!

See Below:



BUT WAIT,
There is MORE!


Last but not least ........
She included a Baggie!
Inside this baggie is a bunch of Mini Marshmallows,
a Mini Candy Cane and a package of Hot chocolate mix.
She included a card on top , also printed out on a heavier stock of paper.
It reads:

• SNOWMAN SOUP

SO YOU'VE BEEN REAL GOOD THIS YEAR??
SANTA WILL BE GLAD TO HEAR IT.
WITH FREEZING WEATHER DRAWING NEAR
YOU'LL NEED TO WARM THE SPIRIT.
SO HERE'S A LITTLE SNOWMAN SOUP
COMPLETE WITH STIRRING STICK
ADD HOT WATER, SIP IT SLOW
ITS SURE TO DO THE TRICK!
Merry Christmas

This is a great example of how powerful a few simple little things we can do that are very inexpensive and yet will have a lasting impact on our customers.
Can't hurt the DSR's either! ((smiles))

Please visit this AMAZING eBay seller's eBay store and Give her a SHOUT OUT and let her know how special she sure is!

eBay seller: ShiRanch owner of the eBay store:

It all began with a Bag of Beans

I had a flashback a bit ago as I stumbled into the Chat area of eBay and noticed the Beanie Babie Chat area!
I remember rushing to that board to learn the scoop of the hot and not so hot beanie babies on the market!
I honestly can't believe it is still there!

Thinking back a few times when we would be in deep conversation about beanies and a so called "Newbie" would enter by mistake. Meaning they would want to chat about something else OTHER than beanie babies, we we ask them to play a game and the trick was to use your keyboard (DON'T DO THIS MY FRIENDS) We would tell them to hit the keys: ALT/Control and Delete all at once and they would be able to view something!
THEN we would watch the membership go down as those people were booted out of the board. Plus their computer would re-boot!
But, it would only make them come back madder than mad!
GOOFY to think about it now! lol
Such child's play and nonsense!

Beanie babies were sure a great money maker back then.
Those bag of beans helped buy my home here in Florida!

I'll be celebrating my 11 year anniversary next month!
Wonder how I should celebrate?

I could list all those beanie babies I invested in that are worth nothing now,, lol

It is luck of the draw. There was nothing wrong with the economy, just the TY company kept making the bags of beans so the market dropped.

We all just looked for PLAN B and moved on to be successful never to give up!

Same still goes with selling on eBay now.

Forget the rumors and the negative writers. Walk away from the gossip because Drama will NOT pay your bills.

A Negative mind can not produce a positive life.
A positive mind will have positive effects!

Stay clear of negativity and negative people.
Negativity is like a disease, it will spread to YOU if you hang out with people that are infested.

Hang tight to those friends that THINK BIG and are on the road to adventure, learning, setting goals and following dreams!

**cheers** To eBay Success!

You can help with the California Fires through eBay

Sometimes I'm in the dark about the news around the world because I get so involved with my eBay/computer world. Then on days like this when I hear of a tragedy taking place, my heart breaks that I didn't know sooner.

Special thanks to Randy Smythe and eBay store owner of: SweetCherry Vintage Lingerie for being my friends on Twitter and to fill those of us in that didn't know.
Both of them are from the area of the fire. Praying they too stay safe.

But, even if I did know sooner what could I possibly do to help from my eBay/computer world here as I sit in Florida.
Sending out prayers is the first step to help.

The only other way I know of to help is to list an item on eBay with 100% of the proceeds to go towards a nonprofit listed with eBay Giving works from that area.
I've done this many times and it may seem like a small thing to do but at least it is something.

The eBay Giving Works platform allows us to help during times of trouble through a trusted system helping so many causes around the world.
(Not only in times of trouble, but 24/7 helping nonprofits)

eBay sellers can do your part by searching for a nonprofit in the Southern California area.
---> Search eBay Giving Works

Please contact me when you have an item listed and I will create a list for support for us all to network our listings.

You can also add nonprofit items for charity to my Charity auction bump page at PowerSellingMom.com
