    How to Decorate Your Home on EBay
    Copyright © 2005, Pamela Cole Harris

    If you are on a budget (and who isn’t?), a wonderful place for 
    find home decorating accessories is auction sites like eBay. But 
    before you go a’baying, here is some advice based on personal 
    experience (make that major disasters!) to keep in mind:
    
    1. Before you bid on anything, check the shipping cost. This 
       cost varies greatly among vendors. That $2.99 artwork isn’t 
       such a great deal if you are charged $80 for shipping! And 
       believe me, there are even higher shipping rates out there!
    
    2. Try to buy color neutral. Never try to match a color in 
       your room with the color on the screen. It simply does 
       not translate well. Everyone’s screen shows color a bit 
       differently. Any you might end up with hot magenta when 
       you wanted apple red. So stick with neutral accessories!
    
    3. Check measurements! Don’t assume because of how it looks in 
       the picture! The mirror that looks so large on the dresser 
       in the picture may look tiny in your room. That dresser may 
       be very small in reality, making the mirror appear large 
       (an old photographer’s trick!). So ask for measurements if 
       they are not included.
    
    4. Choose to buy from a reliable seller. Check the feedback on 
       every vendor you deal with. If there is a lot of negative 
       feedback, take that as a warning and shop elsewhere! Don’t 
       set yourself up for a bad experience!
    
    
    Ebay is fun and can be a great source of accessories, if you 
    use your brain before you use your charge card. And if you buy 
    something all wrong for your room – it can be a great place to 
    get rid of it. Remember - one man’s hideous eyesore is another 
    man’s chic treasure. Just make sure the eyesore doesn’t end up 
    in YOUR mailbox!
