eBay My World: signsup( 3009)

Severly visually impared due to a rare medical condition, I use specialized computer software to communicate and participate on the Internet. eBay allows me a sense of accomplishment and worth to my family and friends.

I purchase items from bankruptcy, freight, and liquidation auctions. Every week is like a new chapter in a book. I might know how it starts out, but I never know how it's going to end.

Always tinkering around the house. Remodeling items, tools, fixtures, etc. 15 year old teenage son also enjoys Scouting activities and electronics.

English

Exploring new activities as my loss of eyesight has closed some doors and opened up new ones. Still follow the History Channel on TV, especially WWII programs. My wife calls it, The Hitler Channel because of the programs that I watch.

With the Books on Tape and CD, I usually enjoy mysteries and action/adventure stories. Cornwell, Griffen, etc.

Not so much since I no longer drive and listen to the radio in the car. I follow most new stuff with the exception of Rap and Hip Hop. Sorry, I know it's me, but I just don't get it. I know it's got a good beat as I usually feel it in the pit of my stomach as it vibrates from the car next to me at the traffic signal. I think in the next 20 years, being in the hearing aid business would be a profitable endeavor.

I still enjoy Jouse and Bones and some of the CSI stuff although I thinks the medical examiner stuff is getting a little overdone. It's a little frustrating to read about unsolved murders in the newspapers and on the TV news, when the CSI shows give the impression that DNA tests are completed in minutes and every murder leaves so much trace evidence that they can solve the crime in one hour.

A former Real Estate agent, when I lost my ability to drive, I found that the Internet allowed to maintain my communication with the outside world. I enjoy selling and helping others achieve their goals in life.

Almost anything. I take Paypal and money orders and personal checks. I cross my fingers but I usually ship out before items clear, or even arrive. (But don't tell anyone)

eBay is my primary responsibility and I take it seriousely and do the best I can with my physical limitations. If an item is purchased and paid for during the day, I usually can take it to the post office the same day. I go to the UPS store daily with the previous day's purchases, and in some cases, the same day's purchases. I try to get the items out as quickly as possible. I'm on my own, (with the exception of my driver) and I have crated a cut and paste method of addressing packages. So mit might look like a child wrapped and labeled the item, but it get's out quickly. I also, occassionaly, flat out ship out the wrong item. I allow the person to keep the wrong item and immediately ship out the correct item. Rarely happens, but it has in the past. I apologize up front.

I will do whatever it takes to make the transaction right within reason. My TOS state that the return shipping is up to the purchaser, but I have waived that cost if the error is clearly mine. I do, however, get frustrated with purchasers who purchase an item and then get it, and it's now what they wanted and want to return it for full refund and I loose the shipping one way or both. I will do my best to make you satisfied, but I am not Wal-Mart.

I know I'm going to spell this wrong, but I have a medical contion knows as AION. Anterior Iscemic Optic Neuropthamy. Basically blood clots in the supply to the optic nerves. My optical perscription is 20//hand motion. Meaning I can see items that are moving, or greatly magnified. Reversing the black and white image helps me as well. If you know of someone who has AION or if you have any questions about low vision or the equiptment that I use or have seen (gifure of speech) feel free to email me.
