My name is Bonnie Matthews and I live in Murrysville, Pennsylvania just outside of Pittsburgh.  I have been making beaded banners since 2005 and I have been designing them since 2006.  I previously sold my patterns and banners on a craft website, but when that site changed its format and I needed to find a new place to sell beaded banners and beaded banner supplies I opened an Ebay store. 

I have had my own website during that time but it was informational only and did not allow customers to purchase direct from the website.  I have recently completed this website and all items are available to purchase at this time direct from the website.

I encounter more and more customers who do not like to buy on Ebay.  In addition, Ebay informed me that I cannot sell pdf files of my patterns on Ebay as it is against their "digitally delivered goods" policy.  Apparently you have to sell a hard copy only.  They removed all my pdf patterns from Ebay and I added them back up in my Ebay store as hard copies and kits.  However, most of you prefer the pdf file which is less expensive with quicker delivery.  All patterns are available here on my site as pdf or hard copy.

Just recently Ebay decided to change their fee structure and it was no longer feasible for me to have an Ebay store.  I continue to sell a few things on Ebay but I am in the process and increasing the items available for purchase here on my website as well as other venues like Etsy, Craigslist, and others in the future as time permits.

Even though I no longer have my Ebay store, my feedback with Ebay remains and if you are in need of a "reference" before purchasing, please check out my Ebay feedback.  Ebay customers leave feedback regarding their purchase experience with Ebay sellers.  I currently have a 100% positive rating at over 800.  If you would like to read the comments my customers have left about me, please checkout My Ebay Feedback Page .  Several months ago I also became an Ebay Power Seller.  I am guessing this designation will disappear because I no longer have many items on Ebay, but it was an honor while it lasted since it not only involves the number of items I sold but also the feedback in specific areas that my customers gave me.
