The Queen of Ebay: Pandora Sykes
‘The first thing I
bought on eBay was a dress of Chloe’s See to wear at a party at the age of 17.
Even though the dress was much bigger than I had predicted, and I had to sell
it, I soon got addicted to this online shopping.’
I have a list of
reliable sellers and I always buy their goods. The best bargains I have ever got
were a Louis Vuitton bag that just costed me one third of its original price,
and a Chloé’s See silk shirt that was still in mark and worthed $240, but I
just had to pay $80 for it.’
‘My favouritest item so
far has been a light blue velvet army-like coat named Surrey Classics of
Canada. Everyone seeing me on the street asked me the place where to buy this
unique coat. This is the reason why eBay is a wonderful shopping place where
you can buy dozens of unique and strange items.’
‘My auction tip is not
giving price in 5 minutes before stopping auctioning. In stead of that, if a
thing is bidden, I will wait until the last minute and choose the highest price
that I know no-one can react straight away because time is up.’
‘I never buy jewelries
on eBay since it is usually broken and I prefer try the jewelries befor buying
them. Clothes on eBay are taken in photos at the foreground so that you can
observe them and consider buying, while jewelries are not.’
‘For me, I would rather
buy vintage items or things specifically designed on eBay, but I also notice
that big shops display plenty of unique items, especially when they are branded
products of Topshop. In fact, I used to sell two pairs of Topshop boots on eBay
and earned a rather large amount of money.’
Pandora’s small tactics
for online shopping
Do not hurry to give the highest bid
‘You will be more
likely to pay more than you need to if giving a high bid at first. I usually
set the alarm clock at 3 minutes before the auction time. It is long enough
for me to get up, enter eBay, and give the last bid.’
Read thoroughly goods description
‘My friends told me
that she had ordered a table, but when it was
delivered, it turned out to be toy for doll. Maybe she did not read
thoroughly the goods description and was deceived by the images.’
Find remarkable sellers
‘Many sellers selling
goods on eBay as their main job. They sell vintage goods from a genuine
store, so their product quality is usually assured.’
Check comments on sellers before buying
‘If sellers have been
given bad or neutral comments in the last six months, check the reason why.
The sellers are often supervised and strictly checked by eBay community, so
you can take advantage of this.’
Do not buy only clothes and skip other things
‘eBay is
also an
ideal place to buy cheap furniture. Last week, I bought a huge cowhide
carpet
with $240 in stead of $560 as its original price. It is also an
America cosmetics paradise where I bought plenty of nail varnishes at
the price which is a
half of their original price.’
