It was not said in description anything about box being damaged, only that there might be some scuffs from sitting in storage. However, I complained to seller and she gave me my money back minus shipping and told me to just keep the doll. I have had this happend more than once, I think they are trying to fix this on ebay so that sellers must describe the item more accurately.<br />I know they recently changed the listings, so now you can get up to 100 listing a month for free as long as they start under $1 .<br />Thanks<br />-LisaLisahttp://shop.ebay.com/lisalisamm/m.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37391182.post-27456901690989866782010-01-20T10:44:04.164-05:002010-01-20T10:44:04.164-05:00As far as getting some good deals and ebay goes,
...As far as getting some good deals and ebay goes, <br /><br />1. You can possibly use a seller's inability to spell to your advantage to find some good deals. Sites like ebuyersedge.com (typojoe.com, etc) will search ebay for common misspellings of keywords you enter.<br /><br />Most interested buyers will never see these misspelled listings, reducing the competition and most likely ending price.<br /><br />Ebuyersedge also gives you the option of saving your favorite searches, then sending you an email when an item is listed matching one your saved searches, giving you a jump on other potential buyers.<br /><br />This works best with 'Buy It Now's, but is also effective with auctions.<br /><br /><br />2. Whenever you send a question to a seller, use the "Ask a question" link that is on a page of another item they're selling that you're not interested in.<br /><br />Maybe send the seller an offer to end the auction early. All they can do is say no.<br /><br /><br />3. If you bid on an ebay auction, use a sniping service (hidbid.com, bidball.com, etc.) to avoid bidding wars, and hopefully save some money by not drawing early attention, and not giving manual 'nibbling' snipers a chance to react.Georgehttp://www.ebuyersedge.comnoreply@blogger.com
