Before telling you about payment info, there are a few important things we'd like to mention:
1. WE ARE NOT EXPERTS IN ANY FIELD --WE SIMPLY BUY ESTATES AND LIST THE SMALLER ITEMS ON EBAY. NEVER EXPECT US TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ITEMS WE LIST - WE PROVIDE PHOTOS FOR YOU TO SEE FOR YOURSELF.
2. WE GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING ON ANY OF YOUR PURCHASES AND THE TERMS ARE ALL STATED BELOW IN THE SHIPPING CATEGORY. PLEASE READ IT TO SEE HOW YOU CAN GET FREE SHIPPING ON ADDITIONAL ITEMS PURCHASED!
3. YOUR BID IS A CONTRACT! ONCE YOU BID, YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY OUR TERMS....
4. PLEASE READ *EACH* OF THE CATEGORIES BELOW: ( Payment,/ Shipping /About Us / Contact Us and Terms of Sale ) PRIOR TO BIDDING!!! DON'T FORGET -- YOUR BID IS A LEGAL & BINDING CONTRACT TO BUY!
PAYMENT:
PAYMENT OPTIONS: PAYPAL is the only option ebay allows unless you are picking up in person.
YOU MUST SEND PAYMENT WITHIN 3 BUSINESS DAYS
**FREE COMBINED SHIPPING**
URGENT MESSAGE REGARDING COMBINED SHIPPING! If you want to take advantage of free shipping and are still bidding on auctions that haven't ended yet, you MUST send an email no later than 9am the day after the auction ends to delilahs @ tampabay.rr.com asking her to hold your item until the other auctions end. You must include item numbers. Our shipper (Delilah) is very efficient and ships as soon as she gets payment! Without prior email notification to hold your items, she will ship what you have paid for right away and you'll lose your opportunity to combine!
WE HAVE MANY OTHER TERRIFIC TREASURES ON EBAY RIGHT NOW .... SHIP AS MANY ITEMS AS YOU WISH FOR JUST ONE SHIPPING FEE! (We will hold PAID items for up to 14 days if you notify us via email as stated above) YOU GET **FREE** SHIPPING FOR ADDITIONAL ITEMS WON! (IF THE TOTAL VALUE OVER $100 OR 2 POUNDS, THIS WILL RESULT IN A SLIGHT INCREASE AS PER POSTAL RATES, OTHERWISE THERE IS NO EXTRA SHIPPING!) - TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE SHIPPING BY VIEWING *ALL* OF OUR AUCTIONS. View My Other Items For Sale PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO CHANGE THE WAY I SHIP. I am disabled and have someone else who does my shipping for me, and I must rely on the agreement we have, or I couldn't offer you the wonderful antiques that I do.
WE SHIP MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY USUALLY WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WHEN YOUR PAYMENT IS RECEIVED. NO SHIPPING ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY. WE CANNOT SHIP ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY. READ OUR FEEDBACK, MOST OF OUR BUYERS ARE SURPRISED AT JUST HOW QUICKLY THEIR ITEM ARRIVES!
U.S. SHIPPING FEES TO ANY U.S. ZIP CODE: For a FULLY INSURED PRIORITY MAIL PACKAGE UP TO 2 POUNDS OUR RATES ARE AS FOLLOWS: (WE DO NOT SHIP ANY WAY OTHER THAN PRIORITY) THERE IS NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR EXTRA ITEMS (Just for weight over 2 pounds or insurance over $200).
8.50 up to $99 in Final Value; 9.60 for $100 to $199; 10.70 for $200-$299 and so on... Add $1.10 for each additional $100 over $200 -- HEAVIER PACKAGES COST MORE, OF COURSE. Please keep in mind Postal Rates have gone up!
WE DO NOT SEND NOTICES WHEN YOUR ITEM SHIPS, BUT WE DO SHIP VERY QUICKLY.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFO: We ship all our items via Priority Mail WITH FULL INSURANCE, and this is NOT negotiable! (Again, this is due to eBay and Paypal's policies which are solely in favor of the BUYER'S and unfortunately scam artist buyers take advantage of this to steal from honest sellers. Please read on..Shipping fees, Insurance Fees and the Manner of Shipping are NOT negotiable. Would you order from Sears or an Infomercial and then tell THEM how to ship your item? Of course not. Our policies are written in stone, and by placing a bid you agree to abide by them.
Overnight delivery is available at extra cost, so if you need it quickly, just ask.
Our shipping is done very Professionally and you do get what you pay for. We use quality packing materials including bubble wrap, peanuts, etc, which we pay a LOT for, and we hire professionals to handle our packing and shipping. We insist on insurance. If you do not accept our terms of shipping please do not bid.
WE DO NOT SHIP WITHOUT INSURANCE, & WE ALSO REQUIRE YOUR SIGNATURE (which costs extra, but is totally necessary) to show your package was received. (Delivery confirmation is NOT sufficient proof for paypal and ebay that the package was shipped, and without your signature, if your package is lost, they will immediately take the money out of MY BANK ACCOUNT! THE EXTRA INSURANCE (WITH SIGNATURE) MAKES OUR SHIPPING MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SOME OTHER SELLERS, BUT DUE TO THE NEW POLICIES OF EBAY AND PAYPAL WE *MUST* GET A SIGNATURE! We have lost hundreds of dollars from scam artists who know this, and take advantage. Your signature is the ONLY way we can protect ourselves, and YES, it does raise the shipping, but we cannot afford to have ebay or paypal rule against us because we did not get a signature.
WE DO NOT VARY FROM OUR SHIPPING POLICIES...PLEASE DO NOT ASK!
IF YOUR ITEM HAS BEEN DAMAGED, LOST OR STOLEN DURING SHIPPING: In the unlikely event the postal service damages your item KEEP THE ITEM AND THE BOX AND PACKING MATERIALS IT CAME IN. YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE IT ALL TO THE POST OFFICE FOR THEM TO EXAMINE. Contact us using the Ebay My Messages method, and we will send you a signed claim form indicating that the refund goes to you and when you receive it, you fill out your portion and take the claim form and the item with its packaging to your nearest Post office. Your refund will come from the Post Office and not from us.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS BELOW AND DO *NOT* START YOUR CLAIM WITH PAYPAL. ALL OUR PACKAGES ARE INSURED AND THE POST OFFICE WILL REIMBURSE YOU -- NOT PAYPAL. THAT ONLY COMPLICATES MATTERS. This is explained further in the following paragraph:
If you feel an item is lost in transit or in the unusual event it arrives damaged, PLEASE CONTACT *ME* FIRST(not Paypal, not Ebay). If you contact paypal, they take the purchase price out of my bank account and put it in escrow. This could cause me to bounce checks or worse. I purchase VERY GOOD INSURANCE, and we need to follow the protocol to file a claim. I will help you get your money back or find your package much more quickly than if we involve ebay and paypal. Also, if you think your package is lost (if it hasn't arrived in 5 to 7 days from your payment) PLEASE START BY ASKING YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE IF THEY HAVE A PACKAGE FOR YOU! 99.9 Percent of the time when bidders tell us they have not received their package, they find it at their Local Post Office. WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE ITEM IN 9 YEARS THAT WAS TRULY LOST. If you are not home the postman will leave a little postcard asking you to pick it up at the post office. Oftentimes these little postcards get lost in between your other mail and you won't see them. The next paragraph tells you what to do if your package arrives damaged.
In the unlikely event the postal service damages your item KEEP THE ITEM AND THE BOX AND PACKING MATERIALS IT CAME IN. YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE IT ALL TO YOUR POST OFFICE FOR THEM TO EXAMINE. Contact us using the Ebay My Messages method, and we will sign a claim form indicating that the refund goes to you Next, you fill out your portion and take the claim form and the item with its packaging to your nearest Post office. Your refund will come directly from the Post Office and not from us.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATES & POLICY (PLEASE Don't bid unless you read all of this -- we do NOT change our shipping policies even if you ask!): Most international shipping costs approximately $25.00 USD for a package up to 2 pounds and up to $99 in Final Value - Add $1.50 for each additional $100
We actually DISCOURAGE International bidding, because the fees are so high, especially because WE MUST FULLY INSURE EACH ITEM. See US shipping to find out WHY we must insure EVERYTHING. However, you can factor the shipping cost into the amount you wish to bid. The reason we try to discourage international bidding is because some people try to blame us for the high postal rates that are out of our control. It is much less expensive to ship without insurance, but to protect ourselves and the buyers, we will NOT ship anything without insurance! PLEASE DON'T TELL US HOW "OTHER PEOPLE" DO IT. MAYBE THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN A LOSS YET FROM EBAY OR PAYPAL BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE PROOF OF INSURANCE!**WE WILL NOT LIE TO CUSTOMS ABOUT THE PRICE YOU PAID!
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTION WE HAVE IN OUR LISTINGS. PLEASE BE AN EDUCATED BUYER, AND TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ OUR REFUND POLICY:
We are not experts or collectors in any field of antiques, jewelry or collectibles. However, we have access to some VERY GOOD Estates, and we list the items on eBay to the best of our ability. We Provide Up To 24 Photos For Each Item so you can examine for yourself. Since The Condition Of Antiques Is Very Subjective, and Most Of Our Items Are Between 50 And 100 (or more) Years Old, We Expect Bidders to USE THE PHOTOS as the PRIMARY ITEM DESCRIPTION. The written descriptions are Provided as a COURTESY And They Are Our **OPINIONS** Only!
Please Check Our Feedback. We Are Honest And Reputable Power Sellers With Excellent Feedback Ratings, But Paypal Is Getting More And More Bold In Taking Sellers Money Away From Them NO MATTER WHO IS RIGHT IN THE DISPUTE, PAYPAL RULES AGAINST HONEST SELLERS! So We Must Make It Very Clear IN WRITING That Our Photos Take Precedence Over Our Words so study them carefully and feel free to ask questions or ask for additional photos PLEASE! If It Were Not For Paypal Being So Unreasonable And Biased, It Would Not Even Be Necessary To have these policies. We run our ebay auctions, just like a REAL AUCTION! AS IS. It is up to the buyer to determine age and condition by viewing our photos and asking questions. No one is perfect and I might miss something that is important to you. That is why we provide such accurate photos!
IF YOU BELIEVE YOUR ITEM IS LOST IN SHIPPING, OR IT ARRIVES BROKEN, PLEASE SEE OUR POLICIES UNDER THE *SHIPPING* CATEGORY IN THIS LISTING.
WE ARE HONEST AND REPUTABLE POWERSELLERS THAT HAVE BEEN BUYING ESTATES FOR OVER 35 YEARS, AND SELLING THE SMALLER ITEMS ON EBAY FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS! WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT FEEDBACK RECORD WITH OVER 99 PERCENT POSITIVE FEEDBACK, SO YOU CAN BID WITH CONFIDENCE!
WE LOVE TO COMBINE SHIPPING, AND THAT IS EXPLAINED IN THE PAYMENT SECTION.
WE HAVE AN "ABOUT ME" PAGE ON ALL OUR LISTINGS THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW WE GOT STARTED, AND MORE.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS... THEY ARE LENGTHY, BUT THEY NOT ONLY TELL YOU OUR POLICIES, BUT WHY WE HAVE THEM. ITS IMPORTANT TO ME FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONS BEHIND THEM!
PLEASE USE THE EBAY MESSAGES SYSTEM to communicate with us or your email may get lost in with the hundreds of other emails or blocked by our spam blocker! If we contact you, we'll always block our email address, that is NOT because we have anything to hide. Ebay actually recommends this, to avoid spammers and phishers from getting our email address, so we follow their recommendations to prevent fraud.
We usually answer email in eBay's My Messages Monday - Friday but there is no guarantee we can answer on the weekends.
From Monday - Friday we usually will answer within 24 hours. We do not sit at our computer all day long, so emailing us 5 times in a day is not going to get your question answered any sooner. We do answer messages AS SOON AS WE READ THEM, not as soon as you send them. PLEASE BE PATIENT!
Don't forget that if you are going to combine shipping and your items don't all end at the same time, you will need to notify delilahs at tampabay.rr.com of your intent, so she doesn't ship the first items when you pay for them.
