Please
read the following policies before you bid
(I know it's long, but it's for your protection as well as mine!)
Bidding Policies
All bids are
final and a binding contract, so if you are not going to pay, then please don't
bid. If you have any questions about the item or my policies, please
send me an email shabbyboutique@charter.net, or through the ebay "Ask
the seller a question" system. All sales are final. I do not accept
returns unless items are grossly exaggerated. I do my best to describe
items to the best of my knowledge. Most of my items are either handcrafted
or vintage, so some signs of wear might be present and should be expected
in the used or vintage items. I have the right to cancel bids. Unfortunately
due to some recent issues, I've had to start doing things a little differently.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but it must be
done to protect the interest of not only me, but other bidders as well.
If you have any negative feedback within the last 3 months or only have
a feedback rating of 20 or less, you must email me first. If you do
not, I will cancel your bid, no questions asked. That does not mean
that you cannot bid, it only means I want to make sure you are going
to pay for item. I hope you will all understand the predicament that
others have left me in, that has caused me to start being a little more
strict.
Payment Policies
I accept Paypal and All 4 Major Credit Cards. If you prefer to pay with a major credit card, then contact me further to find out how.
Please pay for your purchases within 5 days. If for some reason you cannot, please contact me prior to your bid/purchase and I'm sure
we can work something out. I'm fair, honest and easy going and would just appreciate the same in return. ;o)
Shipping Policies
I ship U.S.P.S.
Priority Mail for small items and UPS on larger ones, this gets the item to you faster and with less chance
of breakage. If you would like another method of shipping, contact me
before you bid to make sure that it can be arranged. I live in a small
town and we do not have some of the modern conveniences that major cities
have. Insurance is always optional, but I am not responsible for lost
or damaged items once they leave my hands. I will combine shipping if
possible. Sometimes I cannot ship items together due to size or fragility.
If I combine shipping, it is actual shipping plus a handling fee. I
do charge a handling fee of $2.00/*shipment that is incorporated with
the shipping price in the shipping calculator if it is used. This is
to cover my costs for shipping materials, etc,. There is never an outrageous
amount for shipping costs. I do my best to get you the best deal on
shipping charges. Also, I pack items very well, sometimes it might even
be overkill, but I know what it's like to be so excited to get something
in the mail only to find it broken and unuseful.
* /shipment means that if I can ship all of your items in one box, then
you are charged only $2.00 handling for that shipment. If you were to
purchase a large crystal chandelier and a chair, then since I cannot
ship these items in the same box, you will be charged $4.00 for a handling
fee.
Feedback Policies
If you would
like me to leave positive feedback for you then please leave positive
feedback for me. This is how we all get recognition as being a good
buyer and seller, and it is important. If there is a problem, then please
contact me before you leave me negative feedback. If I don't know that
there is a problem, I can't try to resolve it. Like I said before, I'm
fair and honest and I think my feedback says it all. I'm always willing
to come to a compromise if there needs to be one. So far there has been
no need for one, and I'm proud of that.
Misc.
I take pride
in all of the items that I sell, whether it be a new, used, vintage
or hand crafted item. I will only sell items that I would want and display
proudly in my own home or garden. I use only the best materials that
are available to me. So you can bid with confidence in knowing that
your item will be cherished and loved for many years to come. I do custom
orders on some of my items if possible. If you are interested just contact
me. You may also visit my website for more items, specials and multiple
purchases. I'm also going to be starting a newsletter for crafters and
decorators, as well as those who would like to be or just want some
tips or ideas. There will even be a segment called "Ask Jewel"
for you to get answers to some of your decorating and crafting dilemmas.
If I don't know the answer I will do my best to get it for you. You
can also share your ideas and tips. If you would like to sign up just
email me at shabbyboutique@charter.net with "Sign Me Up" in
the subject line.
My home is
smoke and pet free!
