Selling items from a smokers house?

[phillip40bx]

Hi all,

Not found any rules on Ebay about this, is there any rule saying you must state an item your selling has come from house where there is a smoker? Like a wooden furnture peice, stand, even though item has been fully cleaned up.

Just wondering, maybe similar to people who have wood fires on in winter., well kind of.

Thanks'

Phil

Or just don't buy second hand , If it worries you that much buy new then you will have nothing to worry about.

Second hand clothing seller are you?

If you read it properly, I said clothing should be clean, whether new or old.

As it has to be to be sold on eBay.

Thanks Davewil; I didn't realise it was a dead thread revisited! I tend not to look at posting dates. It's just that the post from Judyfidella struck a chord in my memory of the really stinky bubblewrap saga that I'd prefer to forget! The neg is some years gone, but the memory lingers! Happy New Year to all!

The only person whining here is you.

First, you don't read a post properly befiore replying, which was a perfectly sound response to the post before it.

Then you start up a personal attack on a subject which appears to rivet you, yet you have no real interests in it.

Happy New Year, go enjoy it with your friends 🙂

Hi redders, fancy meeting you here!

Yes, it was those beautiful glasses! I was amazed because the glasses themselves did not smell, even the tissue didn't seem too bad, but the bubblewrap was amazing, especially since it is plastic and I would never have expected it to take up a smell so strongly.

Many years ago my then husband was working as a tech. operator, which involved him organising equipment setup and running in a number of venues.

I could instantly tell when he got home if he had been working at Hobart's Casino- the stench was amazing. His hair, his beard, and any wool he had on were grossly offensive. Organic materials take it up the worst.

But no, you didn't go down in my memory as a bad seller!! I would rather have my glasses arrive in one piece- the smell after all is long gone!

Hi Judyfidella! Lovely to hear from you! I'm so sorry about that bubblewrap! I rarely use recycled now, after those large sheets of stench!

At the time I was so pleased to get such a huge lot from the chemist shop. Their new shopfittings had come packed in it & I suppose they were from a warehouse or somewhere where smoking was allowed. It was only when my cold cleared that I realised the whole lot was so stinky, by which time I'd used a fair bit in packaging customer's goods & copped a neg into the bargain! I threw the lot out, along with all my brand new tissue paper, as that had been stored with the wrap & the smell had transferred. Until seeing your post above I hadn't realised my parcel to you was one of the smelly wrap ones! My utmost apologies for past transgression. 

I hope the glasses are still going strong! Cheers to you & all here from Redders
