Payment is expected within 7 days of close of auction. Paypal accepted in accordance with eBay policy, unless buyer requests other payment method. I will happily leave feedback for you once I have received feedback indicating that your item has arrived satisfactorily.
Please be aware that for fragile or very expensive items, your handling costs will include an additional minimum charge of $1.75 to purchase insurance. This is in accordance with eBay's new insurance mandated policy, which no longer allows insurance to be paid by the buyers as an optional cost.
International buyers: import duties, taxes and charges are NOT included in the item price or shipping charges. These are your responsibility and are normally collected by the shipping company or when you pick the item up. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and international government regulations prohibit such behavior.
Buy with confidence! If you are unhappy with your item for any reason, please contact me within 3 days. You may return the item to me (insured and at your expense) and I will refund your money, less my ship and handling costs. If I have made a major error in the listing, I will also refund ship and handle costs. I have had nothing but pleasant experiences so far on E-Bay; E-Bayers are a great bunch of people!
I am a retired school librarian. I have been selling on eBay for several years. I am now beginning to prepare to move into a smaller retirement home and over the next few months I will be putting up a number of vintage and antique things, some of which have been in my family for 3 generations. Please add me to your favorites and keep checking back!
I try to describe each item as accurately as possible, so there should be no surprises when you receive it. Please message me at Ebay with any questions about an item before you bid on it.
