EtsyOwls Contest!

Hi everyone, I entered the EtsyOwls June Sunny Summer Challenge. The challenge was to take the colors of the sun and make something wonderful. I decided to make a mosaic. It's the first mosaic I have ever made and it turned out wonderfully! I used all upcycled plates as my tiles. I had a bunch of broken plates laying around my house and decided to use them in this work of art. I was so shocked how great it turned out. Anywhoo, I need your vote! Voting ends this monday. Please VOTE FOR ME(haha!).

Here is my mosaic! Please vote :).



If you really really love this piece you can purchase it and my other beaded jewelry at my Etsy Shop!

Holly's Product Suggestions - Blackcatmima

I LOVE shopping...especially on Etsy. I always find a million adorable shops with the coolest handmade crafts. This week I have really taken a liking to Blackcatmima. Her store is filled with these ADORABLE vintage hairpins, felt brooches, and much more. I am in love with her style! I wear my hair up all the time, and let's be honest it bores me most days. But if I put a few of her hair pins in I feel much more lovely and not so boring. Here are a few of adorable products.

Has Ebay Gone Too Far?

I decided that I wanted to sell my AT&T Tilt on Ebay in order to buy an Iphone. Of course, I decided the best place to sell it was Ebay. I listed my Tilt and sure enough it sold. However, to my surprise Ebay shocked me with a new policy.

Ebay and Paypal, have this new policy that if a seller doesn’t fit a certain set of criteria they will freeze your earnings in your Paypal account. What is so frustrating about it is that the seller has no control over meeting the criteria. I have always been a good Ebay seller. I have a rating of 64 and have never had a complaint. But yet, now I’m being treated like a criminal. The criterion Ebay has decided on is the following:

If you do not have more than 100 feedbacks and you are selling an item over $100 they will freeze your money in Paypal and force you to ship off the item without ever receiving a dime! They don’t even give you access to the cost of shipping.

The policy states they can hold your money up to 21 days! Am I the only one that thinks this is crazy? Their reasons for this new policy is allegedly protecting buyers from scammers. However, this makes no sense to me. Paypal has access to your bank accounts and/or credit cards. How is freezing the money in your account going to make it any safer for buyers? Buyers have always had the ability to get their money back and report any scams. Isn’t this a job for the legal system and not freezing the funds of innocent sellers?

As I was researching how others felt about this new policy I found a very interesting article. Apparently, Ebay is running a test campaign for all Australian buyers that the only payment accepted is from Paypal. US citizens beware this policy will probably be showing up for you too soon enough.

So now if you thought you could avoid having your funds frozen in Paypal, avoiding Paypal’s horrible customer service, or paying Paypal’s exorbitant fees you were wrong! Now Ebay has agreed to give Paypal a complete monopoly over all their transactions. Unfair competition anyone? You can read the Australian article here…http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,24897,23515926-15306,00.html

All of these changes have pushed me over the edge. I have always been unhappy with Ebay, but it was never enough to drive me away from occasionally selling products. I’ve had it and will not continue to give Ebay my support or my money. Ebay, if you are listening you have lost a great deal of respect with these new policies.
