That is a very fine quality cloth.....worth hundreds in the right venue.....which is NOT ebay. That panel, I believe is not crochet but drawn work of a very fine quality. Make sure it's clean....wrap it in acid free paper ( actually roll it) and save it for another generation....unless you can get your price.....which should be well over $200. I have never seen linens of that quality offered on ebay....you need to find a collector....or keep it. Linda C

Look at the item description in your purchased items list to see how quickly the seller promised shipment. If they are shipping slower than they promised, then I would take away one star on the shipping question. I have gotten spoiled by US Priority Mail. It's so much faster than UPS and FedEx. I do think two weeks is a reasonable shipping time, though. That's about what you experience with large catalog companies like Pottery Barn.

Sue, I've been on Ebay since 1999 and I don't think there's any way to watch an auction "real time" unless you are bidding through one of their live auctions (which I don't do). Live auctions are different from Ebay listings. They are actually live auctions happening real time. Perhaps this is what you are thinking of. Otherwise hitting refresh is the only way that I know of. Here is a link that might be useful: About Ebay Live Auctions

AS I Owe All Here an APOLOGY (I Was the one that Raved about the Great E Bay Global) Waiting for the Other Shoe to drop (WELL IT HAS) ... Of the twelve trouble free orders I have shipped to this e bay global (Texas USA Based co) I Had one Issue ~ The customer contacted me for help ~ The customer in Germany (I In the USA) Said " I Never Got My CD " I Suggested & Helped Him Contact E BAY GLOBAL ~ They Resolved the case & Told Me I was Fine & Assured with an E Mail That The case was closed & NO NO Refund would be taken from me as Lost In The mail Claims are E Bay Global Issues ~ Well Today (I Tripped into a Refund From me to e bay global) ... NO NOTICE TO ME ! JUST STOLEN FROM MY ACCOUNT ! SO I E- MAILED THE CUSTOMER THIS LETTER :: Say If You Could Be so Kind As To Assist me (Now) At My End ... E Bay Had Notified me that the Claim at your end was denied to you as it was marked & tracked & Confirmed as received by you ? I Then 15 Day Later Noticed that E Bay Has Removed the Money From my account (NO NOTICE) Just Took the funds out of my account (No return of the CD Or Anything) You Said You Never Got It (I Believe you) I Never Got it Back & Now I've Lost My Money & My CD ... & E Bay Global has Kept My Property (CD) Did You Get a Full Refund ?

WITHOUT NOTICE ... I HOPE HE WILL NOW HELP ME & If I Get the CD Back (No Harm No Foul)I LOST 4$ SHIP ~ SO HEADS UP FELLOW SELLERS (E Bay Global is Stealing From both ends)I HAVE THE TRACKING AS CONFIRMED & DELIVERED to Dusseldorf Germany ? W.T.F. I' ll call them in the Morning with some attempt to resolve But So All Here Know (I AM SORRY) The Other Shoe did drop ! Just Thought I Would Share to Help Others Avoid the same PITFALL !
