Vintage Toleware Painted Bird of Paradise Tray








Please read description below before placing a bid.


You are bidding on a Vintage Unsigned Toleware Painted Tray.  Please see details below:

*  This isn't signed.  I beleive it's a chinese bird of paradise.

*  I have another one of these listed that is slightly smaller.  This one has a lovely Bird sitting on greenery with berries or tiny flowers.  

*  Woman I bought this off of said she wiped them down with Armour All not to wash it with soap to wipe them (I have another listed) with armour all and a soft cloth when they get dusty.  I don't know much about them but thought they were very pretty.   

*  This does have paint wear and some scratches and wear and a dent in the side.  It has a thick rolled edging.

*  The tray is round and is about 13 1/4 inches total across.  This is so wide I have to put it sidesways in a large 13/13/10 box.  I think that will protect it the best.

This tray has wear to the paint, some paint loss, and age related wear to it.  It has a dent in the side of it and seems to have more paint wear on the front than the other one does.

I charged a 1.15 handling fee for packing materials and INSURANCE. This is in the calculated shipping already quoted on the listing.  This will go in a large 13/13/10 box to protect it.  The flat boxes I have are not wide enough.

Handling Fees are to off-set costs such as, INSURANCE, gas, peanuts, bubblewrap, bubblelopes, toner, paper, etc.  However, I do not calculate a handling fee on boxes.  While this doesn't come close to what costs are truely incurred, every little bit helps out.

I will also have other wonderful items listed, so please check out my other auctions.  If there is something specific you are looking for...you can use the search box or the catagories to the right (in my store).

I'm also accepting best offers on some items!!



Payment - Shipping - Terms

Payment:

* I accept pay pal.  Please email me if pay pal is a problem for you.  If you do not have a pay pal account linked to your ebay account, please email me.  I have to exempt you or you won't be able to bid.  

* Important!! If you buy more than one item...please let me know when your done and wait for a combined invoice.

* If you just go ahead and pay and don't wait for an invoice it takes all the individual ships and adds them together causing inflated shipping costs which I then have to refund.

*Payments over $250.00 (total payment) using pay pal customer has to sign for the item.  In some cases this may be added to your shipping costs when I invoice.

Shipping/Packing:

* I always use delivery confirmation on your items!!

* I Do combine shipping to save you money whenever possible!!

* My PACKING PROCEDURE for glass and breakables is nothing touches the sides, top, or bottom of the box...or each other without padding to prevent breakage!

* If several items are very fragile, I might leave them in original boxes when packing several items in one box to protect them.

* BUYER'S OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES....I will only use Internation Priority Mail and Express Mail Services for all items.  The post office has eliminated all economy services.

* I will not lie on customes forms...Sorry!!

* Since I'm now forced to only use pay pal only as a form of payment, I have to use services that have delivery confirmation. This is pay pal's rule and not mine and is not negotiable.

* If you don't use pay pal to pay and use another form of payment I can check on First Class International.  First Class International does have restrictions. It can not weigh more than 4lbs and it can not be more than 36 inches in combined girth. This is measuring the box around the middle and adding the length so it's not a very big box.

Terms & Conditions:

* Contact should be made to me within 3 days so I know when and how you will be paying (if item isn't paid by then).

* Item must be paid within 7 days of auction end.

* If you pay with pay pal, I will only ship to the address listed on your pay pal account (no exceptions!)

* I Insure most items myself so if there is a problem you need to talk to me first thing then I will know which way to go for the insurance. I do pack very well and never, ever have problems with breakage as you can see in my feedback.

* I may require signature confirmation if you live in an apartment on expensive items.  This protects the buyer...as the 2 things that were lost were offices and apartments that said they were delivered.  I beleive in these cases where there is no mailbox items are lifted or stolen.  

* I do accept returns on the off chance I make a mistake in my description or listing.  I do however go over everything I list with a fine tooth comb.  when you buy from me expect it to be packed to make it and also described very well.

* I have had no returns in the past and don't expect any in the future because I'm very careful in my descriptions and take lots of pictures.



Service You Can Trust
* My goal is your satisfaction as a customer.

* I know the disappointment of buying and item off eBay that isn't as described, has covered areas or repairs not mentioned, or bad packing ....I assure you I am not one of those sellers!!

* I describe every little detail I can and generally downplay items rather than saying ''mint'' when it's not.  Most of my buyers are always pleasantly surprised and I like it that way.

* I pack very well please read my feedback!

* I try to communicate promptly with my buyers, before, during, and after the sale.

* I try to find great items and even have looked for items for some of my repeat customers. I also am still selling some of my own collectibles as I have FMS so the less I have to clean the better.

* In most cases your item (collectables) will be washed before it is shipped.  It will be noted in the description if it was washed.  So in most cases collectables, vintage or not come to you ready to be displayed.

* In the future I will be offering one of a kind needle felted items personally made by me.

*Please use eBay to contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. Constructive criticism is always welcome.


Frequently Asked Questions?

1  Why am I blocked from bidding when I have a pay pal account?

Your pay pal account is not linked to your ebay account - go into pay pal and link your pay pal account to your ebay account.

2  I don't have a pay pal account but I would like to bid!!

Please contact me (giving me enough time before the auction ends) to exempt you from having to have a pay pal account.

3  I have a pay pal account but want to pay another way!!.

Please do not bid till you contact me to find what other payment forms are excepted.

4  Things that will get you blocked permanently from my auctions.

a. Never paid or contacted me about an item.  (exceptions if contacted before filed unpaid expires and the item is paid)

b. Rude comments through ebays message system or email.

c. Letting a counter offer expire on an item.  This falls under ebay's best offer system.  If you make a best offer and I send a counter offer, I expect the offer to be accepted or declined.  Do not ignore a counter-offer letting it expire so that it looks like I let it expire.  If my potential buyers think I let an offer expire without responding they may not bother to make an offer (thinking I ingore offers).  I do not ignore offers!!  I either decline, accept or make a counter offer.  I expect the same courtesy.  Of course if it's very close to the end this may not be able to be helped.  Please try and give me & yourself time to reply to offers by not making them the last minute.  I know stuff happens and you may not see it till the last minute...just keep in mind the timelines if you can.

d. Making a bid to see the reserve then retracting it.

e. Bidding on an item and leaving positive and dinging my stars cause you are a competitor selling simular items.  Not only does this get you blocked but I will report this to ebay.

FYI!  Unpaid items now get billed for ebay listing fees and in some cases (ie...asking to pay a certain date but don't) Interest will be calculated on the unpaid balance starting the 7th day from the end till the unpaid process closes as I can not relist the item till then.  Ebay is a contract!  I never will not sell an item because I didn't get the price I wanted!!  If you won the item it's yours!!
