After missing out on my second Paddington, to fellow EBayer Slippytit, I decided to use Bid Assistant. Then Elly told me about Auction Sniper so I signed up for that too. Using both won me two Paddingtons, which was fine, as I secretly wanted one for myself anyway.
The first to arrive (the cheaper one) needed a new coat as his own was a bit moth-eaten . No problem as I've purchased a pattern from an Ebayer in Texas. The first Paddington also needed boots but that shouldn't be a difficulty. The second one was perfect, apart from a wall eye, and he's the one that's gone to Zoe.
So that's why I didn't do that meme Ed* was at. Far too samey when nearly all the letters of the alphabet turn up EBay sites. I'm not obsessed or anything. When I find the perfect wrap dress I'll quit. But that's another story.
*Like Ed, V turned up Caroline and Z, Zobo.

Yesh! Delighted that it worked for you - hope you got those bears at a fair price.
If you are recommending AuctionSniper on to any of your friends then use the tool in your AuctionSniper account, that way you will get some more free snipes!
I was happy enough with the prices Elly. They compared well with other sales and the bears were accurately described. Incidentally have just won a wrap dress using Auction Sniper. The thing i like about it is that it doesn't bump up the price. Thanks again for the tip.
Hi Nelly ... I was just sat here blog-browsing and found yours. I laughed out loud at your being outbid by an eBayer called Slippytit! Sorry :-( Lovely Paddingtons though, and cool blog.
How do you get the comic sans font on your page? It's my favourite font, but I'm stuck with Trebuchet ...
Take care ~ Kitty
Thanks kitty - you can change the font in the template, create post and toolbox. Am I comic sans? I thought I was Georgia?
Ah ... I think I know what's happening - I have downloaded Firefox as my browser and altered the default font which I 'see' on screen. So you have Georgia, Trebuchet, Arial, Verdana like the rest of us then? I am definitely seeing Comic Sans!
Just ignore me ... I'm a nutty as a fruitcake!
Thanks for replying. Take care ~ Kitty
