Taking our Silver To An Antiques Fair

Taking our Silver To An Antiques Fair In additon to selling from our Silver2treasure eBay Shop  and our antique silver website, Steve and I have decided that we might like to start selling at antiques fairs again.  We did actually sell at fairs many years ago,when we had just started the business, and were in the process of building up our stock.  To be honest it was hard work, sorting the items out, labelling them all up with the price and information,  packing them up, unpacking them and displaying on the tables and then at the end of a long day packing them all back up … [Read More...]

A Bookmark Is An Offensive Weapon According To eBay

A Bookmark Is An Offensive Weapon According to eBay I cannot believe what eBay have done today.  I had an email from them to say that two of my items had been removed from sale as they breached their Weapons and Knives Policy.  I had to re-read the email as the two items that they had removed were two thin silver bookmarks, yes two silver bookmarks.  The reason is that I described them as dagger shape in my eBay antique silver shop (which they are and I must comply with the Trades Description Act), but offensive weapons they are definitely not. After I had stopped laughing, the anger … [Read More...]
