Cowhide Purse Savvy

Is the cowhide purse new or used? Most of the ones we have seen on eBay have been new but don't take this for granted. If the purse is used and you are allergic to smoke you may want to make sure it is from a smoke-free home.

How big is the cowhide purse? Look for actual measurements so you know what you will be getting. If the purse is a "doctor's bag" or other style that opens wide at the top you may want measurements of the purse both closed and open.

How many compartments does the purse have? Make sure the seller gives you an excellent description and/or shows you lots of photos.

How does the purse close? For example a purse can be closed with zippers, snaps, magnets, Velcro, etc. or a combination of ways. If you're particular about closures make sure the seller tells or shows in photos how the purse closes.

Is the purse in the photos the same purse you will receive? Some eBay sellers are large stores that use stock photographs instead of using unique photos for each individual item. Most eBay sellers that use stock photos will say so in the description, so if you are in love with a photograph of a particular purse make sure to check the description to see if it is the same one you will be receiving or just a stock photo.

How soon do you have to pay for your purchase? An increasing number of eBay sellers are getting tired of buyers who never pay for their item. Some of these sellers are now requiring the item be paid for within a certain time frame or the sale is off. Read the item description for acceptable forms of payments, time limit for the payment to be remitted, and any other terms.

Can the purse be returned? Some eBay sellers allow returns but others strictly do not. If you are concerned about whether or not you will like your new purse be sure to find out the seller's return policy before you bid or buy.

How much will the shipping charges be? Is shipping insurance included or is it extra if you request it?
