PAYMENT:
Payment is through PayPal and is expected within 48 hours of the winning bid. If items are not paid by that time the sale will be cancelled and the item relisted.
TAXES
: There are new 2019 laws which are in effect (and others which will be going in to effect later in the year) for purchases made through eBay. When a buyer purchases an item on eBay, and the ship to address is from one of the states for which sales taxes have been enacted (see the tax table for more information:
https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/taxes-import-charges?id=4121
) eBay will automatically calculate and add the applicable sales tax at checkout. The buyer will pay the cost of the item (and shipping, when appropriate) along with the state sales tax. eBay will collect and remit the taxes -- the seller has nothing to do with this and has no control over it either. Sellers are not able to opt out of selling items into the states with sales tax or to opt out of eBay automatically collecting sales tax.
Sorry folks :-(
SHIPPING:
I will ship USPS First Class in most cases. If another shipping method is preferred, please contact me before purchasing so that I can adjust the invoice, if necessary. Expensive items, over 0, will be sent with insurance. Tracking information will be provided to the winning bidder once payment has been received and the item has been dropped off at the post office. I will offer combined shipping. If you are going to purchase multiple items, please make the purchases and then send me a message reminding me to combine shipping and I will gladly do so.
RETURNS:
I
do not
accept returns. Please be sure to read the item description carefully, look at the photos (as they are considered to be an integral part of the description), and ask any questions you have
prior to placing a bid
. Mistaking sizes, or missing clearly described points about an item will not be reason to accept a return.
In a case, however, where I have inadvertently misrepresented any item, I will consider a return under those rare circumstances, and only those.
Any questions or concerns MUST be communicated to me within 24 hours of the delivery of the item for them to be considered.
MAKING OFFERS:
If you are interested in this listing, and are going to make an offer that is below my asking price, please be respectful and make a reasonable offer. As with all respected sellers on eBay, I am looking to sell quality merchandise, make sure you are satisfied and happy with you purchase, while also making sure this is a positive transaction for me as well.
FEEDBACK:
When our transaction is completed, positive feedback is appreciated. I keep up with my feedback and try to do the same for all of my customers.
Customers, please be advised that I pack, purchase postage, and am ready to ship your items within 24 hours of receipt of payment. There is a lag time on behalf of the USPS, and I have no control over this and can only assure you that I am shipping quickly, and safely. If you need additional assurances, you may add "insurance" to your postage, or request another shipping option. Thank you for your purchases.
