Seller: rbargains on eBay
Item: Violight Slim Sonic Toothbrush
Paid: $15.95 + $5.00 shipping. Worth the price? No
Location: United States
Delivery: 8 business days
My opinion: What can I say? It’s a toothbrush. It works well, and it’s the perfect size for traveling. I’m not sure that I’d pay the $20 for if I had my time back though, the brush head is small.

Seller: michael-dan on eBay
Item: Rose Gold Plated titanium steel Bracelet
Paid: $19.00 + free shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 12 business days
My opinion: This is such a gorgeous piece, and actually a knock-off of a higher brand name. I’m not sure who? Michael Kors I know makes one too. The bracelet has an engraving that says “Cartier” on it, but of course it’s not real. As soon as I opened the box it came in, it looked like a child sized bracelet and I thought it wouldn’t fit my 5-inch-something wrists (I have petite wrists). Thankfully it did and it’s amazing quality. It feels like it’s got some weight to it, and the edges don’t rub on my wrist at all. If I knew anyone who would love this bracelet as much as I do, I’d buy it for them for next Christmas! I’ve been wearing this non-stop and getting tons of compliments on it, each time I wear it.

Seller: mckalaur on eBay
Item: 5 PRADA Shielding Lip Balm SPF 15
Paid: $12.99 + $3.00 shipping. Worth the price? No
Location: United States
Delivery: 5 business days – incredibly fast shipping
My opinion: These lip balms are so miniature, but for a person who doesn’t wear much lip products on a daily basis, this is a nice luxurious touch to add into my handbag. The lipbalm itself is very buttery on your lips, and it has a slight tint to it. Very nice!

Seller: ticticcompany on eBay
Item: Ladies jumbo metallic designer rose gold watch
Paid: $17.49 + $4.00 shipping. Worth the price?
Location: United States
Delivery: 9 business days.
My opinion: As soon as I took the watch out of its wrapping, I first noticed the size of the face. That thing was huge! The sound that the watch made when it was off my wrist was also notable, as it sounded quite cheap. But that’s what I get for a $20 watch. The face itself is quite nice and doesn’t look inexpensive. I had to get a few links removed from the watch as it was ginormous as every watch is, before you get it sized. But I’ve been wearing it nearly ever day since I got it. I fooled my co-worker and she actually thought it was one of my many Fossil watches. Until I told her I got it on Ebay! I gave it 3/5 stars because of the quality. I feel like it’s not going to last. But it still looks nice.

Seller: voguesdoor on eBay
Item: New Tough Genuine Leather Brown Removable Mens Womens Wallet purse a68160 NWT
Paid: $28.96 + $5.99 shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 17 business days
My opinion: Smells like real leather, parents said it was real lol! It’s so very soft to the touch, too. I bought this during the summer but decided to wait until now because it was a Christmas present. Yes, I shop that early on in the year. My Mom received this wallet part of her Christmas present so I couldn’t post it until now.

Paid: $3.85 + free shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China

My opinion: For $4, you get a Longchamp knock-off nylon bag! It’s completely only worth the $4 though, as it’s dollar-store quality.

My ebay purchases, rated…
Remember my ebay finds back in March? Well all of my items have finally arrived and I’m rating my ebay purchases for you all! I’ll be talking about the quality, and whether or not it’s worth to buy the item itself on ebay. I may continue to do posts like this, if it’s beneficial for you all. I’ve made some recent Etsy purchases, and a few more ebay items. Either way, see the rest of my post below.
Seller: ccclothcc
Item: Rabbit Fur Knit Cardigan
Paid: $18.99 + $8.99 shipping. Worth the price? No. But I’ve negotiated on my second item purchased with her, see below.
Location: Hong Kong
Delivery: 11 business days from when I placed the order, to when it arrived. Order placed March 5, arrived March 19
My opinion: I thought it was a little more luxurious looking online than in person. In person is has more of a peach tone to it rather than the grey-white one that it looks like, online. The material itself is quite soft, and the fit is accurate. Just wish the color was a little more flattering. None the less I really do love the piece and am debating buying the red cardigan as well.
Overall rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Seller: ccclothcc
Item: Orange Color Mix Pattern Top
Paid: $10.00 + $2.00 shipping. Worth the price? Yes (as I negotiated the price).
Location: Hong Kong
Delivery: 9 business days from when I placed the order, to when it arrived.
My opinion: It’s not super cute in person. I dislike the vibrancy of the orange, thinking it was more of a nice coral shade online. It’s wearable for summer. The sizing isn’t as accurate as I had thought. It’s off the shoulder on the girl to the left. The fabric is a really soft cotton and the fit is great on me. The arm cuffs would be tight on someone bigger as they’re snug on me.

Seller: auysfdesign
Item: White cotton batwing sleeve loose tops
Paid: $11.88 + free shipping. Worth the price? YES NO
Location: China
Delivery: 13 business days from when I placed the order, to when it arrived.
My opinion: The quality of the tee is like Forever 21, and I’m afraid the stitching on the see through part of the arms are going to eventually undo from the rest of the top. Overall if it had better stitching I’d give it 5 stars because it’s such a flattering piece on the body. Though, I may order more because I really do love this top.

Seller: greentea212
Item: Celebrity Hollywood Star Women Leopard Pink Soft Scarf
Paid: $13.74 + free shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: Hong Kong
Delivery: 27 business days. I don’t know why this one took as long as it did, it was annoying waiting for it as it was my first ebay purchase out of all the ones shown above (and below)
My opinion: Nice basic scarf, a little different looking with the two patterns on it. It’s not the most highest quality, I’d say similar to H&M.
Overall rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (Didn’t get 5 stars because the price was just “ok” and it took forever to get here)
Seller: upoct-01
Item: Black Cool Big Skull Cotton Womens Long Scarf
Paid: $0.15 + $4.99 shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 31 BUSINESS DAYS. It said it’d take 18-29 business days but I was getting worried and by day 30 I contacted the ebay seller letting them know I had yet to receive it. It of course, came the next day.
My opinion: It’s a nice scarf. I’m debating saving this for my oldest nephew (P.s. I have 4 nephews lol…also, hope he doesn’t read my blog) for Christmas. Because I think he loves skulls.

Shein purchases: rated
Hello! Haven’t blogged on here since last year (ha, Christmas time). So hello there. I’m here with a fun post today and I haven’t done one of these style posts in years. Remember when I did my eBay purchases rated, like a good ten years ago? Those were the days.
I have found out that Shein is an addicting way to spend my evening after my boys enter slumbertown, and I’m browsing for deals. By the way, wait for a free shipping code on Shein, they’re frequent! Now, let’s get to a few of my recent purchases from that ol’ site.
Shein link: Camera shaped correction tape
Paid: $2.32 / Worth the price? Ehhh…
My opinion: It works and does its job. A bit bigger than expected,and definitely big for correction tape but it was too cute to pass up. Daiso and Dollar Tree has cute options for a buck or so cheaper. This is neat if you want to gift to a camera lover (and stationery lover).
Overall rating: 4 stars
Shein link: Weekly schedule pad
Paid: $0.94 / Worth the price? Yes
My opinion: Ooooh yeah. I will be buying more of these! I use them to keep track of my social media to-do-list, dinner ideas, and appointments. Also has a nice subtle grid on the boxes.
Overall rating: 5 stars
Shein link: Letter graphic tee
Paid: $8.30 / Worth the price? Yes
My opinion: Have I skied in the last decade? No. But did I buy this tee regardless? Yup. I’ve been hunting for a graphic tee for some time, and this is a nice soft material! Love it. I usually wear a medium, and this fits nice – I didn’t want to upsize. Here’s the fit on me – kinda something you’d find at Forever21. Not sure how long it’ll last.
Overall rating: 5 stars
Shein link: Corduroy pencil case
Paid: $2.79 / Worth the price? Yes
My opinion: This one comes in 4 colours. Do I really need another pencil case? No, but I cannot pass up an opportunity with anything to do with corduroy. Had to have it. It’s perfect for the price. I had been hunting for one on Etsy for a while, but this less than $3 hits my budget just right lol.
Overall rating: 5 stars
Shein link: Clear files 3 pack
Paid: $1.87 / Yes
My opinion: You get what you pay for, right? These are “fine”, a bit flimsy. I bought these for our travel docs + papers that I don’t want folded. Not as thick/sturdy as others I’ve bought in the past (not from this shop or seller).
Overall rating: 3 stars
Shein link: Gold rings 4 piece
Paid: $0.94 / Worth the price? Yes
My opinion: I mean, for a buck with free shipping you definitely cannot go wrong. I wrap these in tissue or paper towel when not using them so they don’t tarnish as quickly. I’d say these rings are about a size 6. They’re a bit too big for my middle finger. The plain band one isn’t soldered together, so I guess it’s adjustable? lol.
Overall rating: 3 stars
Shein link: Boys Striped Carrot Pants
Paid: $6.73 / Worth the price? Yes
My opinion: Oh these are too cute for my 4 year old. I bought the size 7, and good thing – the waist is small, but the length is definitely there. Haven’t tried them on my son yet though.He’s off the charts tall, so we’ll see how they do. They’re perfect for a lightweight summer pant.
Overall rating: 5 stars
I have a few more orders coming in, so stay tuned!
