SHIPPING AND INSURANCE:

Ebay no longer allows shipping insurance to be optional. The shipping insurance is no longer shown on a separate line. Insurance is including in the total shipping cost.

*** I ship to Canada, please email me so I can determine shipping, customs fees, duties, currency conversions, etc. However, since I only speak English I will ship to other countries that can understand my English.

HANDLING COSTS:

We get many questions regarding handling costs. 

The handling cost, which is already included in the item’s shipping and handling amount, is used to defray the cost to ship your purchase. (This is not an additional charge at checkout – it is already built into the shipping and handling amount.)

For example,

 - Cost of the box – on average $1.00 - $1.50;  for larger items – $3.00

 - Cost of paper/peanuts/bubble used to wrap item – approx $0.50 - $1.00

 - Cost of the tape – $0.10 - $0.25

 - Cost of the ink and paper for the labels – $0.10

 - Cost of warehousing the item $1.50

 - Cost of our staff per item $2.50

   This example cost totals to approximately $5.70 per item. 

For the heavier and larger pieces – the totals are anywhere between $25.00 to to $50.00, depending where you are located.

Note regarding costs:

For those of you whom are curious, the basic costs associated with eBay and PayPal are approximately 12% - 16% for the total amount of the sale which is absorbed by sellers.  eBay charges to list the item, for any additional pictures as well as a percentage of the item’s selling price.  PayPal charges a percentage of the item sold – including its shipping, its handling and EVEN its insurance.

REFUNDS AND RETURNS:

Please know what you are buying before you bid.

I do not offer a return policy. On the rare occasion that I do give a refund it will depend on circumstances.  I will only give a refund for the amount of the item ONLY.  Buyer is responsible for their own return shipping costs, including insurance.
