The Sterling Silver Rose Barbie Doll is designed exclusively for Avon in 2001. The dress is designed by Bob Mackie. The dress is made in a purple velvet featuring a slim silhouette contrasted by a lavender tulle bouffant. A single, silvery rose embellishes the deep purple velvety dress. The remarkable hues of The Sterling Silver Rose are repeated in her intricately styled, platinum updo, highlighted with lavender. The overall effect is a totally modern, completely classic look.

It is a collector's edition item, part of the Avon product line, and includes a stand, dress, shoes, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. This 12-inch fashion doll is targeted towards teens and adults, falls under the Barbie franchise, and is branded by Mattel. With its intricate design and original packaging, this Barbie is a prized addition for collectors and fans of fashion and beauty themes.

The box is original and the protective clear film shows yellowing from age. Otherwise is in perfect condition. The Barbie has never been removed (except for photo opportunity 1 time). All original packaging. 

Shipping Policy Transparency

USPS Temporary Price Increase

Beginning April 26, 2026, the United States Postal Service (USPS) implemented a temporary 8% price increase on certain shipping services, including USPS Ground Advantage. This price adjustment will remain active until January 17, 2027. Please keep this in mind when reviewing your shipping costs during this period.

eBay Shipping Discounts

eBay allows sellers to offer shipping discounts at their discretion. I want to be transparent that I always pass any available shipping discounts directly to you, the buyer. The shipping price you see is determined by your location and matches exactly what I pay to ship your item. For international orders, any additional shipping-related fees—such as customs or import charges—are handled entirely by eBay. I do not receive or process any of the custom fees you pay.

Combined Shipping Eligibility

If you purchase multiple items that are eligible for combined shipping, the discount will be applied automatically in your shopping cart. There is no need to contact me about combining shipping costs. Please note that combined shipping cannot be offered for fragile items, and I make this clear in the relevant item listings.

Shipping Costs and Pricing Policy

I do not negotiate item prices based on shipping costs and will not reduce the price of an item to offset shipping charges. My aim is to offer items at fair and reasonable prices, and the shipping cost reflects the actual expense. You will see the item cost and the shipping cost based on your location—before adding items to your cart or making a payment. If you are not satisfied with the total amount, please do not ask for a reduction; the shipping charge is what I am required to pay as well. You are free to decide whether to complete your purchase or not.

Please be aware that I do not accept returns or provide refunds, and I ship all orders within 24 hours. If your order is placed between 4 PM and 12 AM, it will be dropped off at the post office around 4 AM (Monday-Friday)-excluding UPS and FedEx shipping. Orders received Monday-Friday from 12 AM to 4 PM will be taken to the post office the same day. All orders received from 4pm on Friday to 2pm on Saturday are dropped off at the post office by 3pm on Saturday. All Sunday orders are dropped off at 4 AM Monday morning.  All UPS, FedEx, and freight shipping will be shipped within 24 hrs and as per carriers’ hours of operations. All times exclude holidays and vacations. Once an order is placed, I am usually unable to cancel it since it may already have shipped. Make sure to review your total cost and understand that I am not responsible for any buyer’s remorse after purchase.

Seller Status and Rationale

I understand this policy may seem strict, but I believe it is important to set clear expectations regarding shipping and pricing. I am an individual seller, not a business, and am only selling items that have come from my own home, my mother’s items, and inherited items-with a very specific goal/reason behind the liquidation. Because of this, I am not able to cover shipping costs myself. Thank you.
