If you know me well you’ll know how crazy I am about eBay. I love the hunt of finding a good deal as well as making money on pieces that are in good shape in order to rebuild funds for my fashion spending habit. You’ll see me list out where I found the items in my outfit below the photo’s but 75% of the time I purchased the item from eBay. That being said there are high chances that the items in the photo’s will one day be listed on eBay for sale if I take good care of it.
I often tell people about the opportunity to save money on eBay but some are skeptical for many reasons, and rightfully so. But have no doubt, sellers want to keep a good standing with eBay and 99% of the time the buyer runs the show. Even if the item says “no returns”, you can create a dispute about the item and you’ll be refunded all dollars paid. For me, the risk is worth it for the amount I’m saving.
This is not an eBay paid advertisement, just a friend telling a friend about a great way to save some dollars. So, next time you are shopping for an item that you feel sick about paying full retail price for, try the item on, get the information and search for it on eBay.
Let me know how it goes. 😉
Until then, this Rebecca Minkoff bag is my new love. In May, I went on a girl Vegas trip and purchased this Rebecca Minkoff studded wallet on a chain. It fit perfect for the trip but was an unrealistic everyday situation. Naturally, it went up on eBay; same place I bought it from and I was able to sell it for just about the same amount I purchased it for on eBay. Shortly following, out pooped this larger Studded Affair bag in the photo above.
It’s still lovely in Portland and I’m out for the car hunt. Found myself a cute little used Volvo V50 wagon with a sunroof that I’m purchasing today. Much thanks to you dad and grandma for letting me drive your 1997 Saturn while on my car hunt, it treated me well but I’m ready to drive up HWY 26 without driving in the right lane waving people to pass.
Oh my goodness I am SO GLAD that you are preaching the good word about Ebay! I can't even tell you how many weird looks I receive when someone compliments a piece of jewelry and I tell them that I got it from an Estate Sale on Ebay. Their look of confusion really confuses ME! Not sure why a lot of people don't trust Ebay. I've never had a single bad experience… and I've bought elaborate ball gowns off of it. I have even gone off the site and negotiated a lower rate with the seller. LOVE Ebay. So glad that you do too.
I love reading your blog posts! And your outfit is bangin…as usual. 😉
Have we talked about this? Gosh, I love that you use it too. I negotiate prices as well, its so fun.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Candida. 😉
