Friends in a neighboring town had similar experience (heard an explosion) yesterday. Residential, not industrial. Scary stuff.
You know the kind... 'Your account details need to be updated. Please click here and enter enter your ID and password etc etc'
Exactly!
I 
snipers! The only folks that don't like them have to be the ones that lose the auction they're bidding on!
Confession: I am one!
Somebody here, can't recall who just now, uses wording something like:
If the auction you viewing is listed by yourebayname, you are buying from the artist ... or something like that.
You have to LOVE this guy's style though. I love a sniper! Ebay sniper ... of course!
A smith is someone who makes or forges something.
Yup ... hubby says we were all named Smith once upon a time ... lol.

Did you let chibear know? She should write to ... what is that Ebay email address anyway for reporting these things?
These are all so good!
You guys seriously liked Making It Bearable? Hmm ...
In a very early post, I think I shared that at the time, I was thinking that at least it was better than Bearly Making It, haha. I'm so sick, I know.
Dilu ~ thank you so much for the hug! :hug: 
Well, crisis is an exageration ... but I do need a business name. I actually do have one, but I only whipped one up quick eons ago so I could do craft fairs. It's Making It Bearable (which isn't horrible I guess) ... but I'm not sure I want to continue to use it.
Send me your suggestions! I'm braindead on this one. The only two I could come up with at all were:
Bear Smitten
(You know my last name is Smith ... right? Should to be able to do something with that, though I'm never thrilled when people call me Smitty.)
Black Lake Bears
(I don't live at Black Lake, but it was while on vacation there one year that I was smitten with the bear bug.)
Help, oh wondrously creative friends!
I only saw him once (Penny's listing) when I searched polar bear in the entire bear section of dolls & bears.
Judi, it might be helpful to Penny if you included the links to the other listings.
He's great! Love the face!

I read in another article that George packed on 35 pounds for this role.
Looks/sounds great! Can't wait to see it.
Or do I bite the bullet, throw caution to the wind, and let the change of direction in the hair land where it does?
Yes, do that! 
You can always dampen and comb the extremes into position.

If your body has 4 pieces, you won't be able to use a fat 1/4. If only 2 pieces, and very careful placement ... maybe. Good luck.
... always check feedback before bidding now.
YES! I'm shopping Ebay for my camera. I emailed the guy I think I want to buy from with a question and mentioned I was seeking sellers with only 99.5 or higher feedback. (These guys have hundreds, sometimes thousands of sales.) He responded and actually explained about the two negatives he has had in the past year or so (though I didn't ask for that info). He was very nice, not blaming the buyers or pointing fingers ... so I'm feeling like this is the one. (You'd think I was interviewing the guy to date my daughter wouldn't you?)
She has 19 negative feedbacks in 12 months...My son says I should have known better ....and yes I should....you live and learn!!!
Jenny Jenny Jenny! 
WHAT AN OLD BAT
Penny
the seller not Jenny
LOL; thanks Penny
I am absolutely petrified of messung up as she has paid 3/4 of the price up front plus the extra for my getting next day dellivery on the fabric help helpready to pnic :redface:
Easy girl ... mohair is absolutely the most forgiving fabric there is! It'll be okay. (But know we're here just the same.)
Hehe ... Louise is gonna have that bunny before this is done!
It's people like that that give Ebay a bad name and scare people off. Grrrr! 
Wow Sandi ... you got ALL those words in there! Good job. I did go back and add the word artist to the description, though it gives me a little heartburn ... but not enough not to add it. Make sense?
You bet! These kinds of situations always help me to put whatever problems I think I have into perspective. I will pray for Tiffany, and of course, for her mom.

Mission Fish is Ebay's formal process for auctioning items for charity. If you put an item on Ebay stating that proceeds will go to a charity, but don't sign up for Mission Fish, your item will be removed from Ebay.
I can't believe you all like him.Perhaps you are just being kind???He is quite big at eight inches.
Maybe I coul put him on ebay starting at just $10 and I will give the proceeds to Libearty.What do you think????
A) Uh ... no. We're not just being kind.
B) If you do that ... make sure you either go through Ebay's charity auction process (can't think of the name right now) OR just don't mention that proceeds are going to a charity.
MISSION FISH ... thank you Kim.
Chrissie,
It's VERY soft. My bear is made of shorter alpaca, but it comes in various lengths. Judi has posted one with longer fur. Feels silkier than mohair <I think>.
Nice stuff.
I search for 'artist bear' more often than 'mohair artist bear' on eBay.
I search mohair bear. I don't include the word "artist".
But, you might consider saying something like
Mohair Artist's Bear "Andy" in Soft Alpaca by Deb ........
I'm going to noodle that. I'm also curious now too, about how TTers search. Hmm ...
Yup Kim, that's the one!
