Encountered this ME page in my never-ending prowling through the vacant lots and back alleys of eBay.

Hi, I am (omitted) and I am a single mom of 3 girls that I want to stay home with. So Mom (omitted) thought this eBay stuff would be fun and a way to earn some extra money so I could. I really liked being home over the summer with my girls. My Mom has some health issues and a very bad back so sometimes she can't get out of bed. I think this helps her a little when she has to get out of bed to mail a package! My mom lives in Joliet, IL and I live in Peoria, IL (about 125 miles apart) so sometimes things get tricky, especially when someone wants combined shipping and some of the products are at her house and some at mine. We just became Power Sellers and that was one of our goals. One of our other goals is to keep our 100% feedback so we try really hard to get your packages there fast and safe and to make you as happy about the transaction as we are. We try to be very honest and understanding as humanly possible. So any time there is a question or concern please contact us at (omitted).

They sell a wide variety of what can only be described as "misc".

So when someone wants combined shipping, she loads the three tykes into the jalopy and drives 125 miles to Joliet? With gas over $3 a gallon?

Please tell me I'm reading this wrong.

I would think if someone asks for combined shipping,they will just give her a small discount and ship from 2 locations.
Unless they have courrier going back and forth between Joliet and Peoria on a regular basis.
Peoria is the home of CATERPILLAR and Joliet was one time the butcher capital where trainloads of cattle from TX arrive to be slaughtered and has a large prison facility there.

WAY too much personal information! And the bit that bothers me the most is this: "We try to be very honest and understanding as humanly possible." Either you're honest or you're not.

Sounds weird to me... some sellers do make up sad stories to attract buyer's attention.
