I feel so down this weekend. I am depressed because my efforts to sell on eBay lately have been really unsuccessful. Half, literally, of the time the bidder doesn't pay, and it seems like half of the items I have mailed have gotten lost. I have actually lost money so far in my efforts to sell on eBay.
I haven't succeeded in raising the money to pay for my doll, Bete. If I had known it would be this difficult, I wouldn't have bought him. It wasn't the time to make a big purchase.
If I could have sold my American Girl Julie, the payment would have replenished half his cost. My heart sank when I saw that the winner just had a name made of random letters and numbers, with zero feedback.Going through the non-paying bidder procedure is time-consuming, and often the next-up bidder isn't interested in the item at that point. Yet nothing happens to deter the non-paying bidder. I'm so disappointed in how eBay has changed. I have always tried to be a conscientious seller and buyer, but others don't. One person left me a negative feedback before receiving her item, before the waiting time for the item was ended.
Anyway, I've been playing around with my Tonner Alice Cullen, getting new ideas for her. I'd like to get a long, curling, burgundy wig for her and name her "Rose." She and Bete would be the Beast and his Rose, as though she is the personification of the rose in the original fairy tale. I put a long wig on her to try out the look, but it wasn't attractive. I can't wait to have her intended wig and throw out this one, then make her some Gothic Beauty-inspired fashions. All of my dolls need shoes for Christmas-- both my BJD's and my Tonner dolls. Leslie has worn the same pair of boots for years now, while Josette remains barefoot. Edward and Bella are also barefoot.
