Payment

I PREFER PAYPAL FOR PAYMENT (ALL FORMS ACCEPTED) BECAUSE IT IS QUICK, EASY AND SAFE BUT I WILL ALSO ACCEPT MONEY ORDERS.

PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 5 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION USING PAYPAL OR 10 DAYS USING A MONEY ORDER UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. PLEASE E-MAIL ME IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM MAKING A PAYMENT-I AM WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU.

BEACUSE OF ALL THE NON-PAYING BIDDERS THERE HAVE BEEN RECENTLY IF I HAVE NOT RECEIVED PAYMENT OR HEARD FROM YOU BY THE 6TH / 11TH DAY I WILL NOT HESITATE TO SUBMIT A NON-PAYING BIDDER COMPLAINT TO EBAY. I WILL ALSO LEAVE APPROPRIATE FEEDBACK.

TO WINNING BIDDERS OF MULTIPLE ITEMS-PLEASE WAIT FOR OR ASK FOR A COMBINED INVOICE BEFORE MAKING YOUR PAYMENT. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD SOME NEW EBAYERS BEING TOO QUICK TO MAKE THEIR PAYMENTS AND THUS HAVE OVER PAID ON S&H CHARGES. IT'S FRUSTRATING AND TIME COMSUMING TO HAVE TO SEND A REFUND AND THEN AN EMAIL TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE GETTING A REFUND AND WHY THEY SHOULD WAIT FOR THAT COMBINED INVOICE.

TO INTERNATIONAL WINNING BIDDERS-PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE THAT WILL HAVE THE APPROPRIATE S&H CHARGES FOR YOUR COUNTRY.  

Shipping

I WILL GLADLY COMBINE S&H ON MULTIPLE WINS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE STILL BIDDING ON OR WATCHING ANY OTHER OF MY AUCTIONS. I DO NOT HAVE A TIME FRAME FOR HOLDING YOUR WINNINGS BUT WILL HOLD THEM WITHIN REASON. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU ARE DONE SHOPPING AND I WILL SEND YOU AN INVOICE FOR ALL YOUR WINNINGS WITH COMBINED S&H.

I WILL SEND YOUR PACKAGE THE CHEAPEST WAY I CAN. IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL REQUESTS (PRIORITY, FLAT-RATE PRIORITY BOX, ETC) PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TRY TO ACCOMODATE. 

I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PACKAGE ONCE IT GETS TO THE POST OFFICE (DAMAGE, LOSS OR DELAYS). SHIPPING INSURANCE IS OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED FOR AN EXTRA $1.70 FOR UP TO $50 OF MERCHANDISE.

Terms of Sale

I TRY MY BEST TO DESCRIBE AN ITEM AND POINT OUT ANY FLAWS I FIND. A LOT OF CLOTHES THAT I SELL HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY WORN-SOMETIMES BY JUST MY FAMILY AND SOMETIMES BY OTHER FAMILIES. SOMETIMES I SELL NWT/NWOT/LN ITEMS. THEREFORE ALL SALES ARE FINAL UNLESS I HAVE MADE A HUGE ERROR IN MY DESCRIPTION. I WILL TRY TO INCLUDE A PICTURE OF ANY FLAWS AND INCLUDE MEASUREMENTS IF THE TAGGED SIZE IS QUESTIONABLE. I WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURNS BECAUSE YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND, DECIDED YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T NEED IT OR IT DOESN'T FIT. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING!

IF A REFUND IS WARRENTED IT WILL ONLY BE GIVEN AFTER I HAVE RECEIVED THE RETURNED ITEM WITHIN 2 WEEKS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS I SENT IT. REFUNDS WILL ONLY BE FOR THE COST OF THE ITEM-POSTAL FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.

About Us

I AM A MARRIED FULL-TIME MOM TO 3 KIDS (CURRENTLY 15, 11 AND 4) AND 6 CATS. I ALSO WORK PART-TIME AT OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL. EBAY IS A HOBBY FOR ME-ONE BECAUSE I ENJOY IT AND TWO BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE A LITTLE SPENDING MONEY. MOST OF THE CLOTHES I SELL ARE PREVIOUSLY WORN-SOMETIMES ONLY BY MY FAMILY, SOMETIMES IT'S SOMETHING I BOUGHT OFF EBAY AND SOMETIMES MY FRIENDS GIVE ME STUFF TO SELL. SOMETIMES I HAVE NWT/NWOT ITEMS TO SELL. SOMETIMES I SELL LN ITEMS-CLOTHING GIVEN TO US THAT MAY HAVE BEEN WASHED BUT NOT WORN FOR SOME REASON. REGARDLESS, I TRY MY BEST TO BE HONEST AND TO NOT BE TOO HIGH WITH MY PRICES.

SINCE I DO WORK PART TIME AND I AM VERY BUSY DRIVING MY KIDS AROUND I MAY NOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, SEND YOU AN INVOICE OR LEAVE FEEDBACK RIGHT AWAY. MY WORK DAYS GENERALLY VARY BUT I DO WORK MOST MONDAYS SO THEY ARE NOT THE BEST DAY FOR ME TO DO EBAY STUFF. PLEASE BE PATIENT -I WILL GET BACK TO YOU ASAP.

PLEASE EXCUSE ANY WRINKLES ON THE CLOTHES. MOST OF MY CLOTHES HAVE BEEN STORED AWAY IN TRUNKS AND I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO REWASH AND IRON EVERYTHING.

TO ANSWER SOME OTHER QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ASKED:

MOST OF THE USED CLOTHES I SELL HAVE BEEN WASHED IN A WASHING MACHINE IN ALL TYPES OF WATER AND DRIED IN A DRYER. LIVING IN NEW YORK I DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF HANGING MY CLOTHES ON THE CLOTHES LINE YEAR-ROUND. BESIDES WHICH I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR THE SPACE TO DO IT ANY OTHER WAY. ALSO, I CAN'T VOUCH FOR THE WAY OTHER PEOPLE WHOSE CLOTHES I MIGHT SELL DO THEIR LAUNDRY.

I DO NOT OFFER A COMBINED S&H DISCOUNT PER SE. WHAT I DO IS ADD A HANDLING FEE TO WHATEVER THE ACTUAL SHIPPING FEE IS WHETHER IT'S ONE ITEM OR MULTIPLE ITEMS. BASICALLY IT'S ONE FEE PER PACKAGE. IF YOU READ CLOSELY WHAT SOME SELLERS FEES ARE AND ADD IT ALL UP IT CAN TURN OUT TO BE A WHOLE LOT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN YOU MIGHT THINK. I ONCE PAID $10 FOR S&H FOR 3 ITEMS AND THE ACTUAL POSTAGE WAS ONLY ABOUT $4! SO THAT SELLER MADE OUT GOOD ON THAT DEAL! SINCE THEN I READ A SELLER'S S&H POLICY VERY CAREFULLY AND QUICKLY DO THE MATH. IF I FEEL THE S&H IS TOO MUCH I WON'T BID. I WILL NOT PRICE GOUGE ON S&H TO MAKE MONEY!

AS I STATED ABOVE WE DO HAVE CATS-HENCE THE NAME ALLEYCATS8. YES WE DO HAVE A LOT OF CATS AND AT ONE TIME ACTUALLY HAD 9 CATS. WE LOVE OUR CATS AND THEY ARE VERY MUCH A PART OF OUR FAMILY. ONE OF OUR CATS DOES LIKE TO "HELP" ME WITH MY EBAYING. SHE LIKES TO SIT ON MY LAP WHILE I'M AT THE COMPUTER AND IF WE DON'T WATCH HER CAREFUL ENOUGH SHE WILL LAY ON CLOTHES. OUR WARDROBE ISN'T COMPLETE WITHOUT A FEW CAT HAIRS! I TRY MY BEST NOT TO INCLUDE ANY CATS HAIRS BUT THEY DO SNEEK IN. SO IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE ALLERGIC TO CATS YOU MAY NOT WANT TO BID ON MY ITEMS OR YOU SHOULD WASH THEM RIGHT AWAY.
