One downside of not owning a credit card however is that it limits your power to purchase -- especially online. I have signed up for ebay a long time ago but nope, I have never made a single purchase -- ever. One lazy morning though left with no more errands to do, I found myself browsing over ebay again. I chanced upon a store that sells very cheap items. So just for the heck of it, I made a few clicks. The next thing I know I received an email instructing me how I should pay and 'til when I can make such payment so as not to be blacklisted (or something to that effect).
The next day, I went to BPI (which was again, my first time after a long time since I have long ago closed my BPI account), to pay for my purchase (and surprisingly there were no extra charges! Hurray!).
I called the ebay seller to inform her of my payment and voila! A couple of days after (since I went to pay around 4pm already), my order arrived.
Funny though 'coz when the village guard rang our bell to ask if a "Ms. Burnt Raisin" happens to live in our address, it was only then I realized I made the mistake of indicating my online name instead of my real name in my ebay account. But it didnt seem to matter anyways 'coz the package was delivered to the right address.
So here's my mini-loot. Not bad for a first time purchaser. =)
Loot consist of:
- Prostaff Women's Watch
- Rimmel Natural Sensation All Day Make-Up in Natural Beige
- Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara in Dark Brown, and
- Wet N Wild Natural Blend Mineral Foundation
I spent as total of PhP737.50 for everything including the shipping (dealer did combine shipment). Ain't that great? So far, I am glad my first purchase turned out okay. Reviews of the products coming soon.
And no, I still am not getting a credit card. =)
