The bravest purchase I made via eBay was my handpainted Chinoiserie silk wall panels direct from China, featured in my ORC.

Most of it comes from Britain and he's had really good luck with his purchases. They do take a long time to arrive though, and the tracking is not great like you said.

I bought a few things on ebay. The Barbie I bought had a loose and wobbly head. So I called Mattel and they sent me a credit for another Barbie. That was so nice! I also bought a Storybook doll and she is great. Love her.

My bravest (or most foolish :) eBay purchases have probably been glassware. Once in a while I find such a bargain on vintage glassware that I can't resist, but eBay sellers seem to be really hit-or-miss in terms of packaging. I'd say there's a 50/50 chance of receiving a glass item that isn't shattered to bits. One seller once sent me a glass pitcher wrapped in one layer of paper towel and rolling around loosely in a box. By some miracle, it actually survived! Anyway, those pillows are super fab. If I had Chiang mai pillows I'd be too afraid to use them, so I like yours much better! xoxoHeather@Tatter and Frayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333241040259693852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116080432185422626.post-31623596439689954692014-02-11T15:07:28.818-06:002014-02-11T15:07:28.818-06:00Great pillows, I really love the pattern.

I have ordered a couple of things from overseas sellers on eBay. The inexpensive toy for my grandson was no problem. The expensive matching chop plate that I ordered for my Villeroy and Boch china was a little more stressful, but I did finally receive it. I recently placed an Etsy order for a necklace that my granddaughter wanted from Australia. It came so quickly that I shocked! I am with you, though, except for the chop plate, I usually try to order less expensive items.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951014703880304321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116080432185422626.post-73368222453616420732014-02-11T13:18:34.382-06:002014-02-11T13:18:34.382-06:00I've forgottwn how much fun (and cheap) it is ...I've forgottwn how much fun (and cheap) it is to shop on ebay!!

And I also do not own any. Have you seen the Dwell Studio Ming Dragon fabric? I purchased the aqua color way and it is a pretty good color copy of my fav fabric and I will say the weight / hand of the linen fabric is fabulous ... I held the Dwell fabric in one hand and Chiang Mai in the other and they are the same weight and material quality. The Dwell Studio fabric also comes in a dark navy color way called Admiral ... it does have a few pops of other colors, isn't all shades of blue like Chiang Mai. Just wanted to mention it as I know you're continuing to debate the real stuff.

I have purchased three or four things over the years from Ebay, all from the states though. My fave was a Tonka pick up truck that I used in my Christmas decor. I did just make my first Wayfair buy and it is scheduled for delivery today....at a fraction of what it would cost had I bought the same exact one at Ballards! It will be on my blog soon.
