Cathy & Aubrey

Hi!
We are Cathy & Aubrey and we have made eBay, e-Commerce and the Internet our full time employment. We have spent the past ten years teaching computer technology and courses on e-commerce. As a result, eBay became a natural transition for us.

We spend a lot of time going to yard sales, estate sales and auctions looking for treasures which we list on eBay.
A point to remember for eBay sellers is that you make your money from your buying price, not your selling price!
Please click on the links in the menu bar to view our terms.

If you sell on eBay , I recommend you subscribe to The Auction Seller's News, a monthly newsletter for professional eBay sellers. Click here to read the current issue.
The Fun Part
With the internet and eBay, our potential customers could be around the corner, across town, or even from another state, province or country. Besides, the really fun part about our eBay auctions is that it lets you snoop into our stuff without getting arrested! Now, can you see the fun aspect?
The truth about eBay is it redistributes cash from those who have it to those who need it, like us!!
If you can't have fun doing what you are doing, it's time to change what you are doing!

We now insist, as per eBay's directives, to only accept Paypal as the primary means of payment for our auctions. PayPal payments ship immediately and we do not charge extra for using PayPal.
Bidders with less than 10 feedbacks should email us before bidding or your bid could get cancelled. Too many new ebayers fail to come good on their bids and this has had an adverse affect on who we will accept, although we trust in everyone's honesty.

NonRefundable
Our shipping charges are for the actual postage of the Canadian Postal Service only, converted to American funds. Surface Mail is preferred as it is the cheapest method with Expedited Mail running a close second because it can be tracked. Airmail is more expensive. As we ship internationally, we rely on the buyer to inform us of how they would like their items shipped. We will include a surcharge for loss if it is requested. Canada Post does not allow for breakage or damage insurance.
The shipping charge will also usually include a handling fee of $2 USD, per item, which is applied to our shipping materials:
  • -boxing,
  • -bubble wrap,
  • -tape, etc.

    • We strive to provide you with the fastest, safest, well-packed "shipping & handling" as possible. We are very open to negotiate any other form of shipping you may require. We also encourage picking up your item(s) if you are the successful bidder, to save on shipping costs.N.B. There will always be a handling fee regardless of shipping costs, unless otherwise noted in our listings.
    We are happy to combine items for you so as to save on shipping costs. Just email us with the eBay Item Numbers you wish to combine and we will give you a revised shipping rate.

    Payment must be received within 10 business days of the end of the auction and if it isn't, we will file a "NON-PAYERS BIDDER ALERT" with Ebay. We trust in everyone's honesty and we attempt to resolve all conflicts if they should but problems do and can arise.We will not usually leave negative feedback as we rely on eBay to handle any disputes. Positive feedback for good transactions is always left!
    PLEASE, NO EXCEPTIONS ABOUT YOUR PAYMENT TIMELINE UNLESS DISCUSSED WITH US.
    SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY, PLEASE!


    Our eBay Belief and Philosophy
    eBay can be a fun and rewarding venture if we all play the game to be fair and honest with each other. Any other method can only bring a negative reaction.
    Have fun with our auctions and if you would like any further info, please email us and we would be pleased to address any of your concerns.
    You can also call us at 1-613-847-1686 or 1-613-242-8773.
