WonderfullyOdd: eBay Shopping!

Hi all!

I've noticed that it seems as though a lot of people enjoyed my post from a while back called Goodwill Shopping!, so I've decided to make another post similar to that. Only this time, I'll be talking about eBay!!! Now, I won't be so presumptuous as to assume that everyone in the world knows about eBay, so I'm excited to make this post about my experiences with eBay. Ask anyone who knows me...I freakin' love eBay! If there were some type of eBay cult, I'd certainly be apart of it. Joking...(maybe). Out of all of the website on which you can purchase pre-owned/new items (such as Craigslist and Amazon), I certainly prefer eBay. (That's not to say that eBay is all good, you could definitely be ripped off, so just be very careful while shopping). Anyhow, I'm here to really talk about my one of my most recent eBay purchases, as I am just so excited about it. So, it all started a few years ago when I decided that I waned gauges, so I would stretch my ear piercings. I'd waltzed on over to the local WalMart and picked up a set of the inexpensive tapers and when I got home, had my brother help me put them in. I guess I was allergic to whatever they were made out of because my ears itched profusely, so I removed them. I didn't know any better to put earrings in, so the next day my holes were closed. Fast forward to late 2014, when I decided it was time to start wearing my natural hair, I realized that when I wore updo's there was just something missing. An extra decorative measure to make my look POP! Why, it was the lack of earrings of course. So, again, I waltzed on over to the local WalMart (which I was totally weary about), and spoke to the "jewelry lady," who made me feel a little better about getting my ears pierced there. Anyhow, since I got them pierced, I've been looking some cute and unique earrings to help tie my looks together. Take a looksy at some of the cute earrings I found!

Now, I got these all from the same seller; and this is just one of the great things about eBay! You can find all sorts of sellers, selling all sorts of things.

These were the first ones I purchased! I'd been searching for some rose shaped earring, which were large in size because I had some scar tissue in my ear, which disallowed for my new holes to be where my old ones were. Therefore, my new holes are a little further back, but it goes unnoticed with larger earrings. Also, I just love large earrings! They're handmade out of ribbon, and they're wonderfully stiff, but not heavy. I won these through an auction, because I got very lucky that no one else bid on them. The earrings themselves were only $0.50, but with shipping - which was $2.50 - they were $3.00, but that is still awesome!

These ones are my absolute favorite! They're not exactly vintage (though pre-owned), but they look so vintage. The blue part if a thick cloth, almost corduroy-like with beautiful faux pearls in the middle. Unlike the red and pink rose earrings, these things are heavy! As you can see from the picture, they're quite large and actually pull down on my ear a but and are certainly not comfortable to lie down with, but they are gorgeous! These also cost me only $0.50, and even better, I purchase them along with pink earrings, so I got combined shipping (which not every seller offers, but the seller from whom I purchased these had an awesome combined shipping policy), so the entire purchase only cost $3.50!
