- k***_ (150)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI'm a repeat customer and I am very happy with my excellent condition book on this subject matter. The as described was better than very good condition. The professional packaging of wrapping in paper then put into a box made for books for shipping out was very nice. The cost of shipping was also refunded to save me money. Great eBay seller to deal with in your bead collecting and jewelry making designs. Thank you very much.
- r***r (323)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseMy opinion holds that Eliza and her Africa Direct have sold more African Art than any other dealer ever has, worldwide; the record of over 140,000+ individual sales here on eBay alone substantiates that. Her business practice provides a model for others: (1)Accurate descriptions of every item; (2)Professional Packaging; (3)Prompt Shipment; (4)Professional Return Policy; (5)Courteous Communications. As a continuing customer for some 25 years, it has been my pleasure to be so.
