Ebay Free Beads

With the increase in ebay fees, I have decided to alter the free bead giveaway. If you have ever taken advantage of this before, it hasn't really changed too much. You will just be getting more free beads plus a chance to win a free monthly focal or set. If you are new to this, then enjoy. And don't hesitate to email me with any questions.

First, I have the right to change, if needed, any of the rules regarding the free bead giveaway. I might need to make adjustments so that everything runs smoothly and that both parties involved (you and me) will benefit.

Second, I want you to know exactly what my motives are in offering you free beads. By clicking on specific links (and following eBay's somewhat simple rules), you can help me save 75% on my final value fees.

Third, and I want to be extremely clear, if you don't know that you are doing it right, STOP and ask questions. Don't hesitate to ask what might seem like the MOST obvious of questions. If you don't ask and something doesn't work right, EBay won't give me the credit and you won't earn free beads or getting entered into the monthly giveaway.

So, if I haven't scared you away yet, here is what you have to do to earn free beads.

1) CLICK on this link, Serena's Lampwork Beads
2) BUY any items in my EBay Store with your cookies turned on.
(Yes, it really is that simple!)

This link will open a new window and take you to my eBay store home page. From there you should be able to find everything you need. (BTW, if you have any suggestions as to how I can make your shopping experience better, don't hesitate to tell me!!)

This does not work with auctions.
You can't close this new browser window at any point while shopping or you will have to go to this page and click the above link again. This isn't actually the only link that will work. You can also bookmark my store and use that anytime. Or you can type my store's URL, www.stores.ebay.com/Serenas-Lampwork-Beads, in a new browser window.

So, I believe that covers all of eBay's rules. If you want to read more about it, here is their FAQ.

Now for the best part!

For every $10 worth of store purchases over $30 you get a free spacer in the color of your choice. (except possibly some odd lot colors like streaky pink or tourmaline)

If your store purchases total reaches	you can choose:
$30	3 donut spacers
$50	5 donut spacers
$70	7 donut spacers
and so on......

I will add up separate orders over a period of time. For instance, if you only order $15 worth of beads today, and then later order another $15 worth, you will then be able to choose your free spacers.

BUT WAIT, THAT'S NOT ALL!

Each and every purchase that earns a store referral credit will be entered into a monthly drawing. It could be for a focal or a set of beads. The offering will be proudly displayed that month in my eBay store. So even if you don't want to earn any free spacers, you will still be entered in for a chance at a free focal or set. Yippee!

So, just to reiterate:

Here is what you can do:
1) Close the original browser window.
2) Buy any items in store inventory format from my ebay store
3) Bookmark my ebay store (or type in the Web address (URL) to your Store in your Web browser) and use that to shop rather than my link above.

Here is what you can't do:
1) Get credit with auction buys. This only works with store format listings.
2) Deny cookies. You have to allow your browser to accept cookies. This is a session cookie that is gone when the browser gets closed.
3) Close your browser and continue shopping later. (You would have to click the above link again.)

Here is what I won't do:
If you say you followed my directions, and eBay does NOT credit me the 75% of my final value fees, I will not give you free beads. So what I suggest if you are unsure of yourself, is to "test" the system. Order just one item and then ask me if I got the credit. I can look it up and verify that everything went according to plan.

Still don't get it..... EMAIL me
