Instead of answering this question for you myself, I approached a fellow tea blogger, Angela McRae at Tea with Friends. As a regular reader of her blog, I know Angela finds many tea treasures through eBay. I wanted to learn more about how she does it and believed it would benefit you, my readers, as well.
In this 30-minute interview, I asked Angela questions you will want to hear her answers to including:
- Her top three pieces of advice for someone wanting to start a tea party collection through eBay.
- How Angela searches eBay with a time-saving tip.
- How she gained an item for $9 worth $325 even though she lost an auction.

[audio:https://teapartygirl.com/blog/files/2008/03/interview-angela-mcrae.mp3]I thoroughly enjoyed “meeting” Angela and getting to know her a bit. As a Californian, I relished connecting with a true Southern girl. Thanks, Angela!
Do you use eBay to gather items for your collection? Would you like to? Be sure to share your comments with us.
Great interview! It’s fun to see two tea friends connect here!
Great information! Thanks for sharing. In addition, you can easily order the tea itself online as well. Julie for Bigelow Tea
I enjoyed this interview very much. I jotted down the tips of shopping on ebay. I did “win” a bid recently (ok, I was the only bidder) and was able to replace a broken creamer to my Mom’s tea set. I am so happy!
Angela’s blog is one of my favorites and I visit it every day. And I agree tea people tend to be so nice and interesting.
I grew up three years in England and I think my love of tea and tea things came from that time. I had a bridal tea for my daughter and my friends still talk of it. It was just at my house. It was so cosy and relaxing and yet so feminine.
Like Angela, I enjoy using my tea china.
Do visit my light blog and see my favorite tea cups….
