Welcome to BeBay, the place to buy and/or sell all things "Bewitched"!
This site was created in response of "Bewitched" fans to a certain seller of Bewitched items on eBay who claimed (without proof) to be the owner of Elizabeth Montgomery's estate. The seller often verbally harassed, swore at, and threatened other sellers of BW merchandise on eBay who "threatened" that seller's monopoly on the items. According to other Bewitched sellers, the harasser has also in the past claimed to be EM herself (interesting, considering she sadly passed away of cancer in 1995).
eBay has been powerless to stop the seller, possibly fearing a lawsuit. If the seller would simply prove that he/she was the rightful owner and had the family's reason to stop other sellers from profiting from her image, the other sellers would gladly stop. But he/she hasn't responded yet after several years and preferred continued threats and harassments, confirming the suspicions of fraud. It's an insult to EM's memory.
BeBay seeks to change that, with an atmosphere of peace and tribute to the late, great actress, keeping her memory alive to the fans who aren't here to make a "profit"- just to share in some warm memories.
DISCLAIMER:
BeBay has no affiliation with eBay and doesn't claim to. BeBay will not be held responsible for any activites of buyers and sellers. Honesty is a requirement. Sellers should clearly describe what they are selling and if there are any faults in the item(s). Both buyers and sellers should follow through on purchases by e-mail promptly, and please, be polite.
Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the board. Complaints about certain members should be e-mailed to lizzieb_starr@yahoo.com . Please document all that has been done to correct the problem, and if the cause for banning is warranted, the member will be expelled. BeBay will not be able to take any further action. The buyer and seller must work the rest out themselves.
Every member buying or selling MUST post his or her e-mail on the board. To avoid spammers, words like "NOSPAM" may be entered inside the address: (lizzieb_starrNOSPAM@yahoo.com)
A seller should post what he/she is selling on the "Selling" board, clearly detailing it and all flaws, if any. Pictures help- www.photobucket.com, for example, has free image hosting. Sellers should also post where the item will be mailed from for shipping information, and if there is a minimum price for the item. Interested buyers may either contact the seller directly by e-mail or by replying to the message and making a "bid." If a seller is auctioning off an item, he/she MUST have a set date and time (with time zone) when the auction ends.
On the "Buying" board, members can post what Bewitched-related material they'd like to have, like a "wish list." Members who have those materials may contact the poster by e-mail.
The "General" board is for questions, comments, and pretty much anything else.
