Payment is expected within 7 days. Paypal is REQUIRED for international buyers. For US buyers, Paypal is preferred, but I'll also accept postal money orders. Please contact me to let me know if you are mailing a money order.
I only report Non-paying bidders as a last resort, but if you win an auction and don't pay, and don't answer any of my attempts to contact you, Ebay will be notified and you'll receive negative feedback. I'm very flexible and patient up to a point, but you must contact me if you are having difficulty completing a transaction. Lastly, changing your mind is not a valid reason for non-payment so please be sure you really want the item before you bid.
I'm happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases when everything is paid for together and will safely fit into one box. Please be patient and wait for the combined invoice.
I don't believe in making a profit on shipping. You'll be charged actual cost plus a small handling fee of $1.50 domestic or $2.50 international to help defray the costs of shipping materials. I package very carefully to insure your item is protected against breakage, however I do highly recommend insurance as an optional cost. Any items lost or damaged in transit will not be my responsibility if you choose not to insure.
If payment is received by 9 pm Pacific time Sunday through Friday, your package will be shipped the following day. Items paid for on Saturday will ship on the following Monday. Holidays are excepted. If your purchase requires special packaging there may be an additional 1-day delay, but I'll notify you if that's the case.
If an item is new, it will be clearly identified as such. Most of the items I sell are vintage or used. I take great care to describe each item, including any flaws, however I may occasionally miss something. If you purchase from me and find that I've missed something that substantially detracts from the enjoyment of your purchase, please contact me so that we can work out a mutually agreeable solution.
I always leave feedback once a sale is complete. I consider the sale complete when the package has been received and I know that you're happy with your purchase.
I enjoy selling on Ebay and will always strive to make your purchase from me a pleasant experience. I've encountered quite a few "interesting" sellers as a buyer, and based on those experiences I can absolutely promise you this:
I will never wait until 3 days after the auction ends to answer your question.
I will never belittle you, shout at you or threaten you with bodily harm.
I will never pretend I'm better than you. I don't even know you. Heck, you're probably better than me!
I will never start an auction at $.99 and then add huge handling costs for shipping to insure a profit or avoid Ebay fees.
I will never knowingly misrepresent any item that I offer for sale.
I will never make you wait weeks to receive an item you paid for immediately.
I value each of my customers and will always give you the attention that your purchase deserves.
Please use the "contact member" links if you wish to contact me. I try to answer questions promptly. Monday thru Friday I'm unavailable during the day, so you can expect a response after 6 pm Pacific time. During the weekend you can generally expect a reply within a few hours.
**PLEASE NOTE: If you have zero feedback, or if you have 10 or fewer feedbacks and at least one of them is negative, you must contact me prior to placing a bid. If you do not contact me, I reserve the right to cancel your bid.
