Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

HAHA, that is fantastic, never occured to me that you'd get a frown, tehe

I think this is only visable in Australia, but it is so cool!!  If you can get out there and have a peek before you get to bed.  The Moon with Venus and Jupiter are smiling down on us.....here are some piccies....

haha, Wendy, you're a scream, I think you've been more active online since you're having your week off LOL  Like a diet hey, it begins and ends on Monday hahaha
Great idea though, I'm not sure I have anything to work with tho...I have a box of heads and parts...somewhere...lol  But I use them mainly to practice on...Most bears I'll keep working on till they make it   the couple of dud bears that had no hope went to the kids...and one was named Dudley too hehe  I will try tho

Yay!!! well, I'm excited hehe   Ellen, love your gift buying plan haha sounds like fun lol, I've been buying stuff all year lol and going to begin decorating soon Currently picking out outfits for the furry kids  

Hey sweet thing    glad you are back  :hug:

Karen, Shane....I always ask for a refund for excessive postage...usually get it too   Especially with our dollar rate, if an american is overcharging by $10, its a lot of money to us so I don't let it go...its easy for them to refund on pay pal 
The only auctions that are different are the ones that list items for .99c, so their items are listed first in cheapest items search....they make up the rest of the money in the postage instead, and usually don't combine shipping....each item is charged seperate shipping...they are a little sneaky so watch out for those.

I agree, I think the problem with the B4B campaign is that it runs from, start date to end date.....collectors just wait till their favourite artists finish with their "moment of madness" (I am joking ) and come back to Ebay....no end date would probably help???  You see, its a bother to collectors to sign up, learn the new system...many people aren't computer literate and so wait till Ebay, is used again.
I'm making my Christmas bear now, and will list it wherever is agreed, I'm not saying I'm anyone special, but we all have mailing lists don't we, and I'm sure the people that do follow the bigger artists around would be on some of our lists as well....maybe if we all just start, and eventually it will work....I dunno...
