The seller appears to be a really nice guy too.

I learned something new (and please forgive me if I am late to the game on this), but older women that actively pursue much younger men are referred to as "Cougars".    Food for thought.   Everyone have a great dinner!!

please forgive the email, its been a long time since I sent notification of despatch emails but i felt i had to do it this week. Your Item(s) have been picked, packed, addresses, stamped, boxed, bagged, written out and loaded onto a van. The rest is up to the couriers, you should receive it soon. I stopped sending these as I lost my old PC, and never recovered my customer lists, and never found the time to send them anyways. But I now find out that ebay are going to be using the sellers feedback AND star ratings to determine sellers ability to stay on ebay. So i am respectfully requesting that, you leave +feedback and all 5 star ratings as long as you feel happy with the service I have offered. While i realise the scale of 1~5 is not very open, anything but a 5 start will result in an average below that allowed to trade successfully on Ebay. This would mean I would not be able to offer the items i have been at the prices I have been ever again. Making ebay either the playground of the big companies or those charity shops that don't need profit to survive.

Those who know me, know that I am a sole trader, a professional, I gave up a managerial job to ebay, and now ebay themselves are, it seems turning on the very people who pay their fees and wages. So i respectfully ask for the 5 stars and +FB on all items , not just one, thinking it will cover all, please. I must admit I rarely did the stars thing, but now it seems so important I will be starting. If you feel that i do not deserve 5 stars on any rating please contact me and let me know what i did wrong, and more importantly what i could do to correct it and make 5 stars happen next time we trade? After all its only by achieving these high stars rating and averaging the feedback wreckers who have previously only bid to be able to leave -FB and 1 star on my feedback account that i will be able to continue atall. I will soon be adding P&P charges to my listings, this will take a while as I have 1200 active listings and 6,000 items in my turbo lister (previously the reasons I never did it, AND that UK PO /Royal mail increase their prices yearly, the last 6,000 item update i did took 18 months? As for communication? well I am on line 24/7 vertually, the PC goes on when I wake up, and only goes off when i go to bed. i answer all emails daily, usually within a few hours even the other side of the world. so I cannot see how comm's can be low starred? Despatch time? I am a sole trader, i do everything, buying, opening, tracking, searching, grading, scanning, listing, pc, selling, picking, packing, addressing, stamping, accounts. etc. I can only do one thing at a time, and if a payment comes as the weekly PO vans leaving I can do nothing about it until next week what ever there's still only a week max between payment clearing and despatch, All despatch items are noted under view item details. I also look after our 19 month old baby girl who still don't sleep all through yet, Packaging? i recycle everything where possible, if its not possible, (too big, too many, not enough boxes) i will use new but I spread the cost out evenly, its not fair that one person should pay the full price of a new box just cos I packed it after another and used the last recycled box. Item description, I have limited time doing everything, my ebay turbo lister has been running slow, and the details occasionally miss something, i am always ready to refund if anything wrong, upon return, as per my terms,.

So you see i hope you can feel happy about giving me 5 stars, even if you were only going for 4 (the extra one WILL help reduce the average of those only out to disrupt things) And if not please contact me.,

I have 1200 items up and running now, as many planned for the next few weeks and with your help (only taking a few minutes please) for the rest of the year and coming months.

thanks
