One of the most exciting movie scenes I have seen is when Uma Thurman uses the kill bill hanzo sword.

Using one of the famous hanzo swords for that scene was a masterpiece of film direction and has brought Uma to the forefront of the movie industry.

The movie is a few years old now but still showcases the famous Japanese Samurai Sword, with it’s hand crafted blade and manta ray butt. The lion emblem is too cool for words but finding an authentic sword still can be troublesome.

The best way is to search the Internet and then make sure that you are protected with some form of purchaser warranty. Looking at an authentic site like hattorihanzosword.com can also give you some pointers as to what is really authentic.

Having wrote a few times about good ways to earn money on ebay, I think that I should also mention some good practices that you should always follow in order to safeguard yourself, from having ebay close down your account. So what exactly are these good practices that you must do in this money making exercise.

Number one thatI would suggest is to treat your customers as king. Selling online has a few disadvantages as opposed to selling face to face with a customer. For instance potential buyers can’t get their hands on the merchandise and will have to rely on your description.

This then means that they will need to have trust in the seller and this is something you must build up in order to have repeat customers and a good feedback rating.

Goods should be packed well for shipping which will save a lot of grief in the long run. Your customer is going to be disappointed if the treasure that they have been looking forward to arrives in a gazillion pieces through the post.

Ebay themselves have become a law unto themselves over the years and any seller will tell you that all the new rules have been weighted heavily on the buyers favor, big time. Sellers today suffer most loses and just have to take it on the chin. That being said, it is imperative that buyers should have a good experience with using these online auctions, in order to keep their custom. Yes this will keep sellers on their toes, only thing is, it does nothing about the buyers who take advantage of these new ebay rulings and will result in less folk selling on ebay,

Still as long as we still want to earn money on ebay we will have to stick to the rules as it’s ebay’s ball, but putting the right practices in place will save a whole lot of heartache all round.
