[lace] Including the professor's site in ebay listings

2007-10-31 Thread Jean Nathan
Thanks for including the professor's web site in your listing. If as many as feel they can do this, it won't stop this charming person listing the files and claiming copyright, but it might make a little dent in his sales, which would be a small gesture to the late professor, John Cropper, Tess

[lace] Help- sore finger!

2007-10-31 Thread Sue Babbs
Help! I have started using a new box of pins, which has made my finger really sore - and won't be using them again, as they have horrid fine, sharp heads - but I am about to demonstrate for two days on Friday and Saturday (and then maybe Sunday afternoon), so I can't just leave my finger to

When I have that problem, I buy those sheets of peel-off stickers with small (1/4) dots. They protect my fingers and they're very cheap. Avital On 10/31/07, Sue Babbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Help! I have started using a new box of pins, which has made my finger really sore - and won't be

That's interesting. I once complained about feedback. A seller took more than 3 months to mail me a book (only after repeated reminders from me). I mentioned this in his feedback and he replied with, I bet this is the guy who killed that Palestinian kid, on my feedback. I complained to eBay and

I agree that eBay doesn't seem to take much interest. I bought an American girl doll pattern. The description stipulated no box, which sounded fine as I wanted to sew, not collect. When the item arrived, it was a photocopy. Ebay didn't seem interested, the guy still sells the photocopies.

That is probably because of the nature of the feedback. Unfortunatly people can and do use negative feedback to punish people when they get upset. The nice thing is that you can respond to feedback left for you. On 10/31/07, Avital [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That's interesting. I once

Slightly off-topic, but, personally, I don't like the forced nature of feedback on e-bay. Or maybe it was just the sellers I've dealt with, who pressured me to give them a rating. I think it should be left to the discretion of buyers whether or not they want to give feedback on their

Hi Malvary et al, It's a lovely picture though - but I must say that, although it does say (I paraphrase) for the sole use ... the date is given as 1920 - surely that is out of copyright anyway, so it could be sold if someone wanted to dispose of it. Carol - in Suffolk UK - Original

Thanks for all your help - I now know the name to look for - Thimbleits. Meanwhile I am trying superglue, which is comfortable and I can work with it on much better than elastoplast /bandaids (which always make me hold my finger away from the lace)! Sue - To unsubscribe send email to
