Officially One Year At Ebay

I checked my ebay membership just recently and I just found out that I started ebay on December 18th of last year and not February of this year. So, I have been a member of ebay for a year now. Hurray to that!


However, after my first ever purchase through ebay in February of this year, I have not been so active. Ebay has just been a recourse for me if I can't find what I want to have through sellers in Facebook. I have been more active in the last quarter and, specifically on these dates:


I have became enamored with all of the Korean products in this ebay store and they are sold cheaply compared to other online sellers. And what's better, is that, I can just pick-up the items near my house. And I guess, I have been one of their sukis.

I also got many good deals in ebay, like with my The Chronicles of Narnia book and with my original Nokia BL-5c Battery Pack. These items usually cost MORE in mall shops and it's really good to find a-fraction-of-the-price items in ebay. It will not really hurt your wallet.

Ebay policies and protocols are up to par to prevent and avoid bad transactions of buyers and sellers as well. Ebay is a good site for your shopping needs and it is a trusted site for most. It's user friendly and matches for your searches are mostly on the dot, that it makes online shopping a breeze.

So, far I have not met a bogus seller in ebay, and I hope not ever in the future. I always make sure that the seller has positive feed backs and check if the seller respond to any concerns and queries before making any official transactions.

Are you an ebayer? How was your experience?

Christmas Presents 2011

For this year's Christmas, I was able to get everyone in the family some presents. And it only cost me less than Php 500. How thrifty is that! I got most of them online, except one, which I got from a local warehouse store near our village.

Take a look of what I got!
The mirror is from the local warehouse store; the hand scrubs and the lipstick on the middle are all from online.

Online stores are the best escape from all the crowded malls during Christmas Season. They also offer big discounts on Christmas like in the malls. They offer good quality too. Just look for the good online sellers/stores and they'll sure save you from all the hassles during the holiday season.

Till Next Transaction!

I bought something from my suki ebay seller around two weeks ago. Fortunately, the product that I wanted was not available anymore. The bad thing is, they informed a little too late. I cannot change the payment details anymore because it was my turn to pay already and I waited 30 minutes just to get my self on the counter. The good thing is, the seller agreed to change it with an item with the same amount of the product that I originally wanted. So, all is well.

So, if you are an ebay buyer, you always asked to leave a feedback once you got your item. I left a neutral item that I didn't get. Of course, how would I leave a feedback that I did not even receive? Right? I just marked it neutral for the purpose that my feedback is neither good or bad.

But after a day, the seller asked to revise the feedback to a positive one. Every positive feedback is important to them (hers and to her online store). Thinking about it, they have been good to me. I've been making transactions with them almost every month and I would always enjoy a lot of freebies with my purchases. And with the recent purchase, the seller included extras for the item that was changed for the product. Why not? I gave with them a positive feedback but with some neutral scores. I guess that'll do.

It was a little disappointing. I didn't get the product that I wanted but at least the seller was kind enough to change the product. Will I ever have another transaction again? Yes, why not? The seller has a lot of good Korean products hard to find here locally. Plus, they sell those for a fraction of a cost and I can just pick them up near where I live!

Alcatel OT-918n, Seems Like Made for Me XD

I already stashed away the extra money for savings. I'm now just waiting for January for my ticket reimbursement from our Lolo. So by the time that I'll receive it, I'm ready to buy either a lappy or a mobile.

For the past few days, I was already searching for a prospect mobile that would fit my low budget of Php6,000. The phone must:
  • be within the budget range of Php 6,000.
  • have the basic functionas: can text and can call.
  • have a good battery life.

Basically, that's it! Maybe also, it can:
  • be a dual sim phone
  • and have Android OS 2.3.5. XD

While I was searching for the prospect phone, Tekpone posted this on their Facebook page.

Alcatel OT-918n

Take note, it meets all the criteria on my list and it's just Php 5,999, a peso to spare! Just hit the picture to see what I mean!

It's just released last November of this year and Tekpone just got them on their store shelves just this month. No, user reviews yet. I'm already excited to have this phone! January is the extended December! Why not? XD

Wishlist Update: Starbucks 2012 Planner

Christmas is a few days away! I already have one item in my short wishlist actually coming true!

And to make my wishlist a little longer, I want to have a planner for the coming year. Technically, according to Word Web, a planner is a notebook for recording appointments and things to be done, etc. Some people actually make their own planner with a cute notebook or reusing unused old planners and be creative with it. But, the feeling is not the same when you actually use a "planner" with the current year, with all the dates and months, and other add-ons of a planner. So, I wish to have a very cute, nice planner. Like a Starbucks planner!

Luckily, I came across this one: GIVEAWAY: 2012 STARBUCKS PLANNER.


The mechanics is very easy! You just have follow @misslei on Twitter and tweet: @misslei is giving away one (1) 2012 edition Starbucks Planner in Oak plus Php300 worth of Starbucks GCs! – http://goo.gl/2oKxn.

I'm not that of a coffee drinker and I'm the very "kuripot" (parsimonious) type. I don't want to spend all my money drinking coffee. So, I really hope that I will win this! !^o^!
