Thank You.
Thank you for shopping at Georgie's_Treasures.   We appreciate your interest and wish to help you the best we can. Please feel free to email us regarding any questions you may have before you order or bid on our items. Asking first saves you from disappointments. We try really hard to help.
Need Faster Shipping?
All the shipping charges shown are by media mail or parcel post for USA, for international they are the cheapest we can find in USPS or USP. These are what we have figured the S&H below. We can do faster shipping, but it is generally a lot more expensive. Please feel free to email us for the rates for faster shipping.
Why pay S&H instead of going to the store?
$4.00 a gallon gasoline. Let the USPS deliver and save your gas.
Shipping Information.
We generally ship Monday through Friday, except for Postal Holidays. We try to ship on the next business day after your payment clears either through paypal or the banks. Foreign money orders and cashier's checks usually take 10 business days, as they must be accepted by the bank. US money orders and cashier's checks are treated like cash for shipping the next business day up to $20.00. Regular checks usually take 7 to 10 days to clear before we can ship.  If your feedbacks are good, we may waive the time after receipt of your payment.
USING PAYPAL IS BEST
We have come to believe Paypal is the best way to send money for ebay
1. No charge to the buyer.
2. No stamps & envelopes for the buyer to buy.
3. No charge for money orders.
4. Guarantee you will get either your money back or the product, up to $2,000.00 USD. I don't sell anything close to that, unless you go crazy at bidding. I think my most expensive item ever was less than 10% of that $2,000.00.
5. No fear of your payment getting lost in the mail.
6. Safe and secure transfer. They are part of ACHA, which is the system that moves money from banks to other banks.
7. If you have a balance, it is kept in a bank that is insured.
8. Transfers aren't that hard, once you get your account opened. I will admit their "confirming" process is time consuming, maybe 1/2 hour. But they are trying to make sure you are you.
9. Clean record on both ebay and paypal. If you notice there is a "$" after the title of the item you ordered. If you use Paypal, the minute you pay, it changes on the seller's account. If your funds need to clear, the seller sees an hour glass.
10. They actually have a telephone they do answer. Have your coffee and something to read handy, as they often have lines of people waiting to talk to them. (They have the worst music & talking while you wait, I've ever heard.) I have found the people at Paypal try to help as best they can. Remember they have rules, and we suggest you read those rules.

Basically here is how Paypal works. You open an account. You don't have to "confirm" yourself, but it is best to tell them you want to confirm and then talk to the people in confirmation. Know where you've lived & worked for the last 10 years. You need to link to your bank account. I realize if you haven't ever don't this before, it is scary. For over 3 years, I've been linked. They have made no mistakes in transferring in or out of my account. Please don't give your password to anyone, especially if you get an email seemingly from Paypal. Ok, you have an account, you are ready to win. You win something, and go to Paypal and either pay with money you've got in your Paypal account or have them pull funds from your bank account. I also understand they take VISA and MC. I tore up my credit cards 25 years ago. If money is in your account, the payment notice will go to me in seconds. If money needs to be taken out of your bank account, it generally takes 4 to 6 real days. But here is the real fun. Once you have a Paypal account, you can sell on Ebay and many other web-auctions offering to take Paypal. I started as fun, buying and selling stuff. Over time, it became my job. My commute is 44 feet from my bed to my computer. And I don't have to wear a suit and tie.
Shipping & Handling.
Shipping is more than postage, it includes packages, packing, trips to the post office, and other time consuming items and costs. It also includes reserves for returns by the UPSP. If you have any questions, please email us before ordering. We try to be fair with our customers.  Remember if you are getting a media item, media mail across the USA is very slow. We are at the beach end of California, and often our buyers are at the Atlantic side of the country. It can take up to 3 weeks to cross. Parcel Post (or USP Ground) can take up to 12 days.
Contact us:
We are in California. We generally open about 10 a.m., and work through about 7 p.m.. During the day, we may be off line at distributors, suppliers, post office and lunch. On Sundays we generally close to BBQ or go to a movie about 3 p.m.. We try to reply to all questions before we close for the night. If you've sent us an email before our general closing time, and we don't reply, you might wish to resend.
We will send you notice of our shipping date:
If you are the successful purchaser, nearly always we will send two notices. When we get your order, we will send an invoice. (If you pay right away, we don't do this notice.) And when we receive both the ebay sale notice and the paypal notice (or your payment arrives in the mail) we send notice of when we are shipping.
Combining Shipping Discounts:
On most of our items, we do give a discount. Many of our items have discounts for multiple purchases of the same thing. Very, very few won't be elligible for shipping discounts. These are always shown in the listing. Mostly, however, we give discounts as follows:
2 to 4 items - 17% off the S&H of all items.
5 to 9 items - 25% off the S&H of all items.
10 and more - 30% off the S&H of all items.
Postage vs. shipping and handling:
Please do not confuse "postage" and "shipping and handling" (S&H). We do not cover up the actual postage paid, as allowed by the paypal automatic posting. We think this is cheating. We do charge a handling fee. That fee is part of every listing's shipping amount shown below. It covers time, shippers, tape, gas, etc. of getting your item to you. From time to time, we will miscalculate an item, and the postage will be more than you paid. We do not expect reimbursement.
Please read all the ebay and paypal rules before bidding:
From time to time, we encounter a buyer who has not read the rules. Ebay and Paypal had to make some choices about who is responsible and how people should proceed if there are problems. We have read the rules, and understand the choices they had to make. We will follow these rules and expect others to also follow them.
Customs Forms:
In the USA there are 2 customs forms, one for 4 pounds and under and one for the larger items. Both have a number, which can be tracked by modern international countries' post offices once the item crosses into your country. All packages over 10 ounces require a form. We put a customs form on each and every international package regardless of weight (unless the buyer writes us, using only ebay message mail, to not use a form.) The buyer of this item agrees to allow custom's forms to be used as tracking information at the prices shown in this listing. Should the buyer wish "regestered mail", the additional charge is $12.97.
Know Your Custom's Regulations:

There are over 200 countries in the world today. Each has their own regulations for what a citizen can import. There is no way Georgie's_Treasures can know all those rules, but you (the citizen) should know the rules of your country. Should the product be stopped by customs or returned by customs, it is the buyer's loss for both price and s&h.
What is Georgie's_Treasures?
\We are primarily a liquidator. Many of our selections, while new, are in shop worn boxes. We get a lot of our product from stores changing their directions or discontinuing items. Generally these have been picked at a bit, but the product is still new, only the package sucks. We sell the product shown, not boxes. If you are a collector, more interested in a box than what's inside, please write me first before bidding. We also list items by the instant look-up on ebay. Sometimes the UPCs and ISBNs don't match up with the instant item, but the music is the same. Yes, at real stores people pass items that are perfectly good, but boxes are bad. Now you can save at their foolishness.
Should you bid now or wait to the end of the auction?
Several times a month, we get letters from buyers asking if we might have another copy of an item. They wanted it, but heard it was best to wait until the last minute to do bids. But they did not get to the auction site at the right time and missed it. Someone else got the product. Our thought is, put up a bid when you decide you'd like the item. If you are at your computer, at the last minute; you can still be ready, if someone out bids you, to outbid them. If no one else bids, you won the item, whether or not you are at your computer at that minute.
Thanks:
Georgie.
