A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.
PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 3 DAYS. PAYPAL PREFERRED. Buyer may ask for different payment method but must request before bidding/purchasing.
New Ebay Rules require that any insurance be added prior to the end of auction. It is no longer an option at invoice. They require that any insurance rates be added to the seller’s shipping and handling fee which will increase the rate $1.80 for every $50.00 of coverage. Because it is difficult to determine the ending auction price the seller will determine a rate based on like item’s auctions and add the appropriate coverage. If that rate is lower than anticipated we will send you a new invoice with an adjustment on the shipping rate.
Please be aware that this will only apply to:
Breakable
Irreplaceable
Expensive
Etc.
Items that require more than Ebay’s seller/buyer protection.
(if a breakable item is shipped and is broken in transit, the seller must refund the buyers entire purchase price as it is now required that items arrive in same condition as described. If this occurs the seller will be out not only the price of the item but the item itself. In order to cover our expenses FOR THESE KINDS OF ITEMS we will apply insurance)
DELIVERY CONFIRMATION will continue to be a check and balance for both sellers and buyers. This verifies and is proof to Ebay/Paypal that the item was delivered. It is also a way for buyers to check that their item has been shipped. Depending on the item and the shipper the buyer may be able to track the package till it arrives at their door. Please be aware that the post office does not post information regarding shipping when the package is thinner than 3/4". Also at times the paypal program may be down or another form of shipping is used and no tracking will be listed.
Please be aware that we use different shippers for different items and different shipping locations. UPS IS MORE EXPENSIVE HOWEVER, THEY AUTOMATICALLY INSURE FOR THE FIRST $100.00 WITH EVERY SHIPMENT, additional fees applied for items valued greater than $100.00. Please be aware that the seller may use a different shipper than indicated on listing. If this is not acceptable please do not bid. We use different shippers for both the seller's and the buyers benefit.
Please be aware that we do charge a minimal and varying HANDLING fee for items shipped. This fee depends on
The size and bulkiness of the item shipped, i.e; BIGGER BOXES, BUBBLES, ETC
The item, i.e.; breakable items require more time and care and padded envelopes or boxes
The value
Etc.
We provide delivery confirmation and we ship via paypal shipping’s service which automatically adds for thick envelopes, delivery confirmation, etc. We do not use stamps. Please be aware that these things add to the shipping rate.
IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH THE SHIPPING RATE WE ASK THAT YOU NOT BID.
WE WANT THIS TRANSACTION TO BE A PLEASANT ONE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR RATES TO BE CHANGED. BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE WILL REFUND WHEN INSURANCE HAS BEEN OVERESTIMATED. WE ALSO REFUND IF WE OVER ESTIMATE THE WEIGHT OF AN ITEM, OR WHEN COMBINED SHIPPING IS USED AND BUYER PAYS FOR SINGLE ITEM PURCHASES. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE THIS AN ENJOYABLE TRANSACTION FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED BUT PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT BID OR BUY IT NOW IF THE PRICE + SHIPPING RATE IS NOT WITHIN YOUR PRICE RANGE.
****a handling time of 5 days is listed. We do this for several reasons****.
Sometimes holidays interfere with shipping,
Sometimes our computer systems our down due to weather.
Sometimes the weather prevents us from getting to the shipper due to closed and or hazardous roads.
items are shipped in the order of when payment is received, not by the date of auction.
Sometimes we have emergencies that cannot be avoided and they will take priority.
****However, shipment is usually within 24 to 48 hours after payment is complete****.
Please be aware that shipping will not be available till PAYPAL advises item is ready for shipping.
When a buyer uses e-check or another form of payment thru PAYPAL it may take several days for the buyers bank to complete transaction.
Seller cannot and will not ship till payment is made in full.
BUYERS - PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE NEGATIVE OR BAD FEEDBACK REGARDING SHIPPING TIME IF YOUR PAYMENT DOES NOT CLEAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
SELLER WILL ADVISE WHEN PAYMENT HAS CLEARED AND BUYER WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM SHIPPER THAT ITEM IS ON IT'S WAY.
As a seller we have no control over your bank or the shippers delivery schedule.
