Jules at Wardrobe the Globe:

Jules has been selling on eBay for over 5 years and has been  a personal shopper for even longer. She is a one man (or woman) show, with all  items hand selected by her. She loves shopping so much so that she had to buy  another house to accomodate all her finds. She even has her own "Wardrobe  the Globe" Theme Song!

"My store room is stocked to the ceilings with all sorts  of great finds...and actually over the last year my inventory has more than  tripled....seriously, I have something for everyone!" Jules has been working  on her store and says that she will be running auctions and adding more her  store weekly. She is excited by the challenge, "My online store won't be  "full" until there are over 2,000 items in it....this will take time  however, but we'll get there! Oh yes. We will get there!"

PleasureQueen

PleasureQueen "PleasureQueen has been on eBay for OVER SEVEN YEARS now. THANKS to all of you for supporting me and my auctions! Time DOES fly~ESPECIALLY when you're having fun, which I always do here. SPECIAL THANKS to my repeat buyers (you know who you are, MWAAAAAHHHHH, I ADORE you!). I've been selling vintage lingerie since Day One of my selling career here on eBay. I do sometimes sell contemporary lingerie items as well, though not often. I've begun to list more vintage pieces such as dresses and shoes. Although I'll always list vintage lingerie, I've decided to expand my horizons a bit; my sellers bring me so many nice pieces, I can't (and don't want to) resist them. I'll still sell vintage intimates, so not to worry: I love them too much to ever stop!"
