I haven't done that in a long, long time but I had something I wanted and I ended up buying 4 of them in different styles. The seller was available to answer my e-mail question an hour prior to the auction ending. My question was wanting to know if she would combine the auction. She said yes, I bid. If she had not answered, I would have found another seller. I told her that and I bet she changes her ad in the near future.
She has already sent me my EOA notice and I have sent her the money via PayPal.
So far, very smooth. If all else turns out great, some of my faith in buying on eBay may return. I had fun.

I shopped on eBay today, too! Sniped a set of wallpockets that I love (I collect them). Hadn't bought anything for at least a month, and it felt sooo good to snipe and get something I wanted (wet palms, heavy breathing and all).
One of my major fantasies is to be hired to snipe for people. I've done it for a friend in another state who collects high-end English China but works and can't snipe herself. ~adele

I also did some great shopping on ebay this past few weeks. I have my nieces baby shower coming up and I looked at all the ending auctions that were infants clothes NWT and got some wonderful deals on brand new brandname baby clothes including: Anne Geddes baby book, Thomas KinKaid Grandmothers Memories book, 2-3 packs of receiving blankets, new onesies, baby wash cloths, about 6 brand new outfits and a few other goodies to put together a great baby shower gift basket! I had a great time and everything has arrived already and just waiting on one more item to get here! I gotta watch though.......it could be habit forming!

I bought a few computer networking items for my computer. If a seller has several of the same item and you can wait a while you can usually get one at the minimum bid price by waiting a bit and only bidding the minimum. On computer networking stuff anyway.
I bought a bunch of bubble mailers from Parrothead88 tonite in his eBay store.
A wallpocket is a decoration. It is flat on the back side with usually a hole to facilitate hanging. It is exactly as described. A pocket extends out from the front. You can put flowers, lace, beads or anything else you might think of in the pocket. Hope this helps.
