eBay only accepts Paypal Electronic Payments. Breakable & items of value will now be insured with charges included in eBay S&H Quote. Proof & Claim Paperwork must be filled out & signed by Buyer. We use a third party insurer, so closing value + full S&H are covered!
Shipping & Handling fee is not negotiable & visible on this page before you bid/buy. When you bid or buy, you are agreeing to pay the amount on the eBay Shipping Calculator. We add a very small handling fee to the very large shipping costs & fees.
* Shipping Discount *
We combine S/H charges for auctions won within a 7 day period & paid with ONE Paypal payment.
Single Item with highest S/H is charged at 100%, the rest will be charged at additional 50% of their individual item shipping cost. Buyer must inform us of additional items being bid on during the 7 day period.
International Buyers ? Please Note this eBay Statement :
· Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
· Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
· These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up ? do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
· We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
If there is no international shipping quote visible, then this item will not ship to your country. If there is a quote visible on the eBay Shipping Calculator, a request for quote will get you the same amount.
We ship once a week only - If you really need faster shipping, please check with us BEFORE bidding to see if we can accommodate your request. We try to get our packages out very quickly, but we work around Mom's needs first. Thanks for understanding!
The 'Greening' of Mama-Maria's
For months now, many of our items have been wrapped in light blue bubble wrap (small bubbles) - our trial run of Bio-Bubble. Bio-Bubble works exactly the same as regular bubble wrap for packing purposes, but is 100% oxo-biodegradable on the back end. Ultimately, it decomposes into small amounts of CO2, H2O & biomass.
We're committed to shipping your items safely, but it's nice to have the option to be 'Green' too!
All items are sold As-Is. Any vintage or used items can be expected to have use marks/scratches commensurate with age.
If I advertise a monkey & ship you a giraffe, you can have a refund (unless you like the giraffe better) minus S/H. That means a MATERIALLY different description. You will be responsible for the return postage on the item, just as you would be if returning it to the store.
Feel free to ask questions BEFORE you bid. Leaving less than '5' DSR Stars for a happy transaction is not the way to show your satisfaction. Sellers with a 4.6 average are at an extreme disadvantage, so clearly '4''s are BAD. E-mails requesting off-eBay transactions or pricing will not be honored.
We will only ship to your Paypal Confirmed Address. Keeps us both safe!
Personal Update Note to our loyal & future buyers:
Mom's doing well, considering her many health issues.
We are pulling Mom's display showcase items (with her permission) as we downsize her 50 years of collecting.
Many of these items are appraised small items from antique store liquidation auctions she attended in the 90s. She always considered herself fortunate to be part of those liquidation auctions, as these were popular antique stores she frequented, whose owners retired within a couple of years of each other.
We will do our best to describe them but some of them are rare items we've never seen before, so we'll have to go with what the tag says .
Check out our Store Category = A+ Gold Star Items***
Please try to bid on items you like before the Auctions close the first time around. Ebay fees are deep & many, and our prices tend to go up over time, not down.
Even if you cannot bid on them, please wish us luck & keep us in your prayers!
Please send messages through the item page's "Ask Seller a Question" section or your MY EBAY page. E-mails sent directly to our private email address usually end up in our SPAM Folder, unanswered. :(
