South Easter Okla Landscape ~Peggy Conyers

5 x 7 inch acrylics on Museum board
I used to own 80 acres in SouthEastern Okla at the foot of Buffalo Mountain. The land went right up the side of the Mountain. It was a beautiful wooded place with lots of cedar and pine trees, deer, fox, and turkeys. This little painting is the scene I viewed at the foot of my driveway going out. I really miss that place.

Beware the Seller who makes money off high shipping costs

You know what? I'm getting so irritated with mean nasty people out there that leave retaliatory feedback for no reason at all. Mean. Thank goodness it wasn't on my art eBay account Heather-Sky-Studio-Gallery

I bought three items in the last few weeks on this account christine-wasankari. I paid for them immediately but asked first, hey...can you combine shipping? I mean really...I've been on eBay for years and know the game (my other account heather-sky-studio, where I sell my original art) and have really worked hard to make sure that I am commiserate with current shipping costs. Most of the time I've eaten the difference and under charged.

So here I have this other account. I buy some goods, pay for them right away. I leave a postitive feedback to the seller, though warn other potential buyers of high shipping costs and no real break. They sent me the package for flat shipping at 9 dollars and charged me 25.

Then they come back and leave me three negatives!!??? WOW!

Let me get this straight:

I buy their goods

I ask for combine shipping they will only give me 5 off

Ok, I pay for it right away

I get the package wow, it's 9 bucks not the 25 I paid

I leave a POSITIVE feedback, with warning of high shipping.

Then I get three NEGATIVES.

Does this seem retaliatory to you guys? I mean wow...I'm kinda bummed.

*sigh*

Thanks for reading this far. I guess there isn't much I can do but warn people to be very very careful. VERY very careful.

Did I make the point yet to be really aware...and careful.

...........................................................................................................

Follow up::

I've had a small amount of conversation with the seller and they will not withdraw the negative feedback left to me. Never mind they are mean spirited and don't like to be called on their crooked business practice of charging astronomical shipping fees.

I left three positives stating item as described, shipping too high. They retaliated with three negatives. Then just said good luck dealing with eBay, almost knowing nothing will be done. I've reported this...we'll see where it goes. I'm very unhappy that this can even happen.

Details of the transaction etc are above.

Buyers, be very very careful! :-( Bad apples out there.

Since I can't use their seller name on eBay or my eBay blog there (my user name there for my antiques and collectibles -- christine-wasankari)

I CAN do it here.

Do NOT buy from this seller for anything! http://stores.ebay.com/Scrap-Things

Once again...these people are crooked and retaliatory. Be very careful.

New Large Northwest Collage Art this week!

I have three large paintings up this week, for about the next 5 days. This is the one chance you get to have these for about 75% off the gallery list. If they don't sell here now then I will have them in the gallery at Gallery 9 in Port Townsend if you would like to come on down and see them in person!

A New Hope

The new changes proposed at eBay have resulted in artists along with many sellers who are unhappy with the continued changes by the monopoly, moving away to sell, and also buy, at new alternative venues, as Ebay no longer represents a good deal for many artists. The proposed changes can only affect the buyer in the long term as choice of art reduces and prices rise as the massively increased cost to sellers escalates.

I already shifted away from eBay to new locations 18 months ago, a move that I don't regret. Many others are now waking up to the fact that they are working for eBay rather than eBay helping them to work, with the never ending escalation of fees and their failure to deal with scammers. So you may want to check out Tazbar or eBid and look to a New Hope for the future.

There is a seller boycott of Ebay from 18th -25th February, so if you were thinking of buying or selling there, why not support the sellers, and try out some of the alternatives. You can see a list of other auction sites Here

There is an exciting new art only venue due to be launched shortly so check back later for more details.
