Description

The listing, 38 Peacock Freshwater Dancing Pearls BIG Beads! * TIERED * TWO @ 400 has ended.

I counted about 38 beads in this group of freshwater pearls with a Peacock finish, named because the multi-color reflective finish resembles a peacock's feathers. These are LARGE about 10 mm long, and string like a briolette through a top-drilled hole. At 400 credits or more the winner receives TWO bags ... 75-80 beads!

Please be aware that, as I discovered when photographing them, the holes in these are very small, some would NOT fit on the memory wire I normally use for photos.

Free shipping!

Beader alert! ....I am listing Swarovski crystal beads, in multiple colors, during the next few weeks. Get some auctions going and save your credits! Watch my upcoming listings at http://www.listia.com/profile/auctions/28303!

Note to winning bidders: I really appreciate the immediate feedback many of you leave for me, but in dealing with most sellers it is best to WAIT until you receive to leave feedback. I post feedback when I ship, and if you post feedback when you receive I know it got there!

Questions & Comments

amen to the note to bidders!!! i wont leave feed back until i get an item (and i believe in the seller leaving feedback first, i do the same thing, posting feedback when i actually ship it... helps me keep my ducks in a row i think)

Yup, keeping track of all of these listings is a major job that takes me several hours on "shipping" day(s), so I'm trying to be as organized as possible.

Folks know I'm going to send them what they won, but big problems arise when winners leave feedback for sellers they don't really know. Apparently, with the listia system, once you have left feedback the transaction is "closed" you either can't get your credits back, or it is much more difficult. There are a lot of scam sellers, as well as teens and other irresponsible people who simply don't ship what they have offered. So, caveat emptor!

yeah i have like 8 or so auctions that i havent left feedback for. i havent received the item, and instead of just leaving negative, i keep trying to contact these ppl and be like hey, are you still going to send this? i can understand some of the cases that arise, but i have been scammed out of credits and money on several auctions. after about a month of contacting these ppl with no reply, i think it's probably time to leave negative feedback and try to get my credits back.

DON't leave negative feedback, just try to get your credits back. Use the "contact/help" link at the bottom to submit a request, and Listia will usually reimburse you within a day. If you use the "request refund" link on the auction it takes a bunch of days.

If you leave negative feedback you'll get negative feedback (unfairly), and that reduces your overall feedback rating. Plus, some sellers block buyers who leave negative feedback (which may not be such a bad thing, but it seems like unecessary hassle).

The best thing to do is to go on those people's current auctions (if any) and warn buyers. Do it quick, because they'll block you as soon as you do that, but I think that is the most effective way to warn people.

Oh, and Janna, BLOCK anyone you've won from and that hasn't shipped, just so they don't retaliate by coming to YOUR auctions and leaving a bunch of nasty comments.
