ra-kitten's page!

The real Harry "Ra" Kitten! (and he isn't a kitten any more!)

Welcome to my page!

I have created this page to help buyers and sellers I deal with know a bit about how I do business on eBay! Image hosted by Photobucket.com I started out on eBay in October 2000, bought a few things but then didn't return for ages! When I returned in 2002 I found that digital photography had changed eBay for the better, and now I could actually see what I was buying! A few weeks later I began to sell for the first time, and having been a buyer myself for a while had some insight into how to be a good seller!

My eBay Ethos!

As a seller I try my best to give my buyers as much accurate info as possible.

I base my P&P charges on the weight of the item sent Royal Mail plus a tiny amount towards packaging (sometimes nothing at all for packaging). Because I buy on eBay I generally have quite a lot of packaging in very good condition that I can recycle, and so not charge my buyers. When I post anything that is breakable or crushable I will always box it and use bubble wrap and/or packing peanuts. I never underesimate the hammering packages can take in the post! I buy any packaging materials I need here from eBay's auctionpax (Eddie!).

I do my best to respond to questions quickly, and send out items immediately when I receive payment as long as the buyer has a good feedback rating. So far I have not had a cheque bounce and so I usually send out the item as soon as I receive payment. If I start getting bouncing cheques then I will have to reconsider this policy!

I treat my buyers how I would like to be treated myself.
I will do my best to resolve any problems, and will always consider giving a refund where the grounds are reasonable. However bear in mind that on eBay goods are not sold on an approval basis, if something about the item is particularly vital to you then please ask ALL the relevent questions before you bid to save problems and disappointment later. If an item is second hand then do not expect it to look like new unless I specifically say it does. I am however happy to guarantee that any item I sell will be in working order and fit for the purpose it is designed for upon arrival. If something is damaged in the post then I will pursue Royal Mail for compensation on your behalf, rather than expect you to do it like some sellers do. I always keep proof of posting to aid with this process, particularly in the unlikely event of an item going AWOL in the post. My local post office gives me an excellent service though, and most of my parcels arrive the very next day!

I always leave feedback!
As a seller my policy is to leave feedback at the end of the transaction. This is when payment has cleared, you have received the item and are either happy with it or we have resolved any problems. I do not insist that you leave me feedback first, just let me know the item has safely arrived so I know you are happy! The feedback I leave will reflect how well the whole transaction has gone. Please do not take it personally that I do not leave feedback the instant you pay for it, I have to protect myself from feedback blackmail (this is when a buyer threatens to leave negative feedback unless I give in to unreasonable demands, if I have already left them positive feedback I have no way of warning other sellers about them). I know this kind of problem is extremely rare though and 99% of transactions go smoothly.
As a buyer I leave feedback as soon as the item arrives.
I will always attempt to resolve any problems by communicating with my buyer or seller before leaving any negative or neutral feedback. I am a reasonable and patient person who understands problems people have from time to time, but if you bid and win and don't pay and fail to get in touch with me I will leave you negative feedback, relist the item and claim back my eBay fees. (Buyers should note that if 3 sellers reclaim their eBay fees in this way they will be banned from eBay.)

Enough of the gloom, and happy eBaying!
