Pissed-Off with One eBay Seller!

It's an open book than I am an eBayer for quite a couple of years now. I never encountered problems with any of the transactions I had in the past. The sellers were very professional and the items were shipped immediately after the payment was made.

I had my first purchase this year at eBay. I paid online via my Visa card. After I won the bid, I made the payment thereafter and I also informed the seller that payment has been made. It was a Saturday. I was taken aback when on Sunday, I received a message from her asking for my payment. I calmly informed her that the payment was already made Saturday and I even attached my proof of payment. She immediately responded and acknowledged my payment. She further told me that she will ship the item the next day, Monday.

Monday and Tuesday came, there was no item delivered on my doorstep. I never heard a word from the seller, too. Not a word. No nothing. Wednesday, I already can't contain my annoyance. I asked her via email where was my item. She then responded that she was waiting for my reply. According to her, she sent an email asking for my shipping address. True enough, she DID sent an email on that day AFTER I've asked her for my item. There was no email sent prior to Wednesday asking for my shipping address because if there has been, I should have immediately responded.

In short, if I didn't asked for the item, I will be waiting for nothing. After the item was received on a Friday, I gave this seller a negative feedback. I didn't like the way she communicated with me. She's not prompt in responding and I felt like she never cared for her clients. I have always been a good payer and I deal with the sellers professionally. The negative feedback wasn't made to attack her personally. It was made only based on my personal experience with her while I was doing the transaction. I'd like to teach her a lesson and I don't want my experience repeated with other clients.

After sending a negative feedback, she asked for me to retract and revise the negative feedback I gave her. I've got until February 4 to modify it. I know her online business will be affected if I don't modify my feedback.

Now tell me. Does she deserve a positive feedback from me?

Affordable Purchase

I ended 2009 with an eBay purchase. If you think that being away from my blogs kept me away from shopping online, well, you're wrong!

The purchase is a Gracia Vintage Dress from Bangkok.

Would you believe it? I've won the bid for only PhP 210. 00! Very affordable!

The Certified Fashionable Chic is Back!

It's the New Year and yes, I have decided to update this blog as frequently as I can.

I apologize for having not updated this blog for four long months. I can't imagine it has been that long already.

Despite my hectic sked at work, I will try my best to update all my 4 blogs more often.

Stay tuned, folks!

I Am Super Stylish!

I did nothing tonight, I just stared in front of the PC point blank. When I realized i was looking like a zombie,LOL, I decided to browse over Blogthings and took a simple test.

Why is it that the result of the test did not surprise me at all? Hahaha!

You Are Super Stylish

You've got style, no doubt about it. You always look your best. You are on top of trends, and you carefully pick what works for you. You dress for the occasion, and you never wear anything inappropriate. You only own the best clothing and accessories. You know how to make an impression.

Sexy Item from eBay!

I have been an eBayer since last year, and I tell you, it's addictive! I mostly bought casual dresses. There has been quite a handful of them!

Some of the great buys I had were lingeries, perfumes and fishnet stockings.

One of the items is shown below:

I fell in love with the item the first time I saw it! Though I haven't worn it yet, I just love to collect these sexy items in my closet, LOL!

The Perfect Bridal Hairstyle

When my friend married in 2006, she asked me to be her maid of honor. I was a little hesitant because it was my first time. But I can not say NO entirely to her because she left me with no choice, LOL!

Before the wedding day, she told me that our hairstyle would look good on us because she did an extensive research as to what hairstyle would look gorgeous on her and the entourage. I took her word for it. True enough, we looked all stunning and gorgeous with all our beautiful hairdo!

I got curious as to what preparations are actually needed to be done in choosing the perfect hairstyle for the bride. I found some helpful tips from Wedding Flowers. Here they are:

• Do your homework by browsing through bridal magazines and checking out the hundreds of wedding hairstyles available online.
• Make sure that the hairstyle that you will choose will complement, instead of outshine, the dress that you are wearing. For example, if you are wearing an A-line bridal gown which is extremely simple yet elegant, a similar hairstyle is required. A classic French twist or soft curls framing your face should do the trick.
• Decide whether you will do the hairstyling yourself, or if you will hire a stylist. If you want to have a do-it-yourself hairstyle for your wedding day, make sure to practice first and choose a style which is easy to create. On the other hand, if you will use a stylist, make sure that it is someone who specializes in bridal hairstyles. Set up an appointment weeks before your wedding so that you can try out some flattering bridal hairstyles.
• Don’t do anything drastic with your hair – like cut, perm, color or highlight – approaching six months into your wedding. You may not like the results, and it’s always more difficult to correct a bad haircut when your wedding is barely a month away.

Here is a quick list of the bridal hairstyles that you can go for:

1. Elegant updo
2. Simple twist
3. Chignon
4. French twist
5. Modern twist
6. Classic curls
7. Braided updo
8. Soft curls

The Perfect Wedding Ring

Choosing the perfect wedding ring for couples is as tough as preparing the entire wedding needs. It requires a lot of thought, too. After all, the wedding band will be worn by the couple for their entire lifetime, that is, if they stay married forever, lol!

The following should be taken into consideration when choosing the wedding band:

1. Budget- How much can the couple afford? The material will then depend on how much the couple can spend for their weddings rings.
2. Material- Based on the budget, the couple can choose from a wide variety of choices. The most popular is still the 14K-18 K gold rings. Gaining popularity are the white golds. Platinum, titanium, silver and diamond can be included in the couple's choices as well. Remember the 4Cs here: Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat!
3. Style- It can range from traditional to the more elaborate ones with beads.
