- k***_ (173)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified 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.
- o***d (67)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item was shipped quickly, well packaged, looked just as I expected it to from the multiple clear photos in the listing, and was offered at a good price. I would be happy to buy from this seller again if they ever offered other similar items in the future. Thanks for making eBay a more pleasant place!

- k***0 (69)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThere's something about old jewelry that I love. The currency bracelet that I purchased has one of it own. The cravings on it just beautiful. Better than described. It was packed well packed. Shipped on time. But above all of this, I had a question about the bracelet and the seller got back to me ASAP. She was thorough and honest about the bracelet. As a person who shops online that is a level of comfort a buyer needs.

- r***r (331)- 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.
