I almost feel bad for posting three times today, but here goes nothing. I've been thinking a lot about how to expand my female wardrobe today. I've learned today that I'm going to need size 14 in women's shoes. Yikes! That size is going to be hard to find in a Wal-Mart store....but not on eBay. eBay has a lot of awesome stuff for crossdressers! Here's my problem though. Even though I have my own eBay account, I can't risk the idea of having a package arrive with girl clothes in my size in it and somebody else opening it! I have a thought, but it's going to take a lot of trust and patience on your (and my) part. I might be completely nuts for even suggesting this, but I hope there's somebody out there who can help me. I need somebody in the Harrisonville, Missouri area that has an eBay user ID. I can email you the item numbers of the things that I want and the amount I'm willing to pay for them. I CAN SEND THE MONEY TO THE SELLER! But for safety, I would like to be able to use YOUR return email address, so it doesn't come back to my house if something stupid happens. Again, I live with my parents and I think it's best they just didn't know about this. Here's another thing...I might need you to hold on to the things I buy until it is safe for me to get them. It could be a week, a month, 6 months, it's hard to tell. I could meet you to pick my things up in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Harrisonville, Missouri. I can adjust this plan a little if someone is willing to help me out here. I know this might be a lot to ask, but when a guy needs girly clothes, a guy needs girly clothes!

P.S. - If you think I'm completely nuts here, go ahead and let me know! :) I was really proud of this idea when I thought of it and I still am proud of it, but the more I started to write this post, the more nutty it started to sound!
This doesnt sound nutty at all but it sounds like a lot of work. Have you thought of going to a mail service, they are almost at every corner these days. See if they have a PO. box that will accept packages. One draw back is besides identification they require a utility bill or some such proof that you live at the address you give. It isnt to bother you but to give to law enforcement if there is mail fraud/criminal activity with that box number. If your last name is the same as your parents you could use one of theirs or something from a school or whatever that comes for you in the mail. Stop by one and ask what they require.
Beware of predators regarding giving your location or meeting someone at the Walmart parking lot. It is a very dangerous and a big risk.
Once you get what you want how will you keep them from finding it? That is hard in itself I would think.

Beth is quite right. Once you have the stuff how will you keep it from being found? Also the overall plan is good but a lot of work. It also has the predtor element as Beth pointed out. There is an old rule called KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. It's a good rule of thumb and can prevent a lot of disasters. Get an email account that you have to log on to to get your email. That prevents prying eyes from your automatic email download system. They are free and plentiful. Lycos has free accounts. The mail box service is your best bet. That keeps everything just betwen you and the seller.

I really like the PO Box idea! Why didn't I think of that?! The only problem I have with this is the post office closest to me is too risky. My dad sells on eBay and we are in there frequently dropping off packages. We know the people who work there quite well and my parents would surely find out about me getting a PO Box. I have several other choices of places that aren't too far away from me, but I'm not really one to leave the house a whole lot and my parents might get suspicious as to why I'm leaving the house so often all the sudden. Does anybody have any experience with PO Boxes?? Does the package(s) have to fit in the box? Do you only have a certain amount of time to pick them up? I'm still thinking about ways I can do this.....As for keeping it from my parent's...I've got that pretty well covered. We live on a farm with several barns and I keep my girly clothes very safely and sanitarily packed under several bales of hay in the hay loft. Nobody but me ever goes up there! Even if somebody went up there, they would have to be "looking" for my things to find them! HA!! >:D

QuoteDoes the package(s) have to fit in the box? Do you only have a certain amount of time to pick them up?
The answer to the first is no as they will hold it for you. The plain wrapper part comes into play then so that it is less recognisable for what it is. As to time I would think that there probably is but you would need to negotiate this at the time. The best bet is to think of alibis before you organise it so that questions about how long you may need to delay picking up can be answered of the top of your head.
Hope this helps.
Do you have a Mail Boxes Etc. in your neck of the woods? They work just like a post office and if you need to you can just call them and give them a time you would be able to pick up your package.

Mail Boxes Etc...another good idea, but I've decided just to let the eBay idea go to rest until I get my own place. It's just to dangerous right now. I'm doing pretty stinking good with Wal-Mart...they just don't have all the brands I'm looking for. Like Limited Too for example! I'm nuts about the stuff in their stores! One of these days I'll get what I want. It's just going to have to be a matter of time and patience. I'm pretty content right now though. A month ago I didn't have any panties to claim for myself at all. Now I have 35 pairs!
