just popped my ebay cherry!

Finally, I had my very first ebay transaction! And it went smoothly! ;p

I am collecting a toy line of Go Nagai's Devilman when I chanced upon an online ebay store selling some for cheap. What also attracted me was the "Free shipping within the US". My first option was Che's offer: her parents are coming home from the US for a vacation, so kung gusto ko raw, ipabili ko nalang sa kanila para sila na rin mag-uwi.

It just so happened that after a while, tinaasan ng seller yung price. There was a "Best offer" option though, where you make an offer to the seller, then wait for the response if it its accepted or denied. Yun nalang ang balak ko para babaan yung selling offer. Nahiya na rin ako kay Che since mukhang busy yung parents niya, so sabi ko ako nalang ang bahala.

So my second option was my good friend Rix, who's on vacation in the US since June. I was able to get in touch with her 2 weeks ago, and buti pumayag na siya na mag-receive ng items ko! Hehe! ;p

So it was set, I already have a proxy in the US. Next step was get a Paypal account via my credit card. I thought it was gonna be complicated, but I was wrong. I LOVE Paypal! Easy to register, easy to use, and you're safe purchasing things in the net!

All angles set, I gave my "Best offer" to the seller. We exchanged quite a few offers until we get to settle a price. And by Sunday, I was able to pay him. He shipped the items 2 days ago, and by this morning, Rix messaged me telling me that she got the package! Yay! ;p

So finally, I'm no longer an Ebay virgin! Haha! By talking to the seller about stuff, using the ebay system first hand, and actually purchasing.. I'm now familiar with how it works. Ebay is no longer an uncharted territory for me. ;)
