Payment Information
- PayPal is the preferred eBay payment method.
- Any other payment method is not recommended by eBay and may cause delays.
- Local pickup with Cash is ok.
Shipping
- Items are usually shipped US Post Office after the payment has been received.
- I normally ship with PayPal online postage which comes with a tracking number. PayPal emails the tracking number to the customer.
- Items are usually shipped 1 or 2 days after payment is received.
- If you want faster shipping, insurance or something else other than standard USPO mail, please let me know so I can add the additional cost. The shipping cost will likely be more than the price of the stamp when you receive your item. Boxes, tape, stuffing, gas, etc aren't free.
- Shipping costs are either a fixed amount stated in the ad or a weight. See the USPO web site to calculate costs. Costs may be rounded to an even dollar amount.
- My responsibility ends when I drop off the item at the post office and get my receipt. I do not have any control over the post office. I am not responsible for shipping damage or lost items if you do not get insurance.
- I will gladly send you a scan of the receipt ( proof of shipment ) upon request.
- UPS and FedEx are usually more expensive, need extra paperwork and requires a trip across town. UPS or FedEx will be $5 extra.
Returning
- You are bidding on an item that may be used, second hand or obsolete. I do my best to test and describe all items listed on eBay. However, I am not an expert on all items listed. If you are an expert on the listed item, be sure to ask any and all questions before bidding. Be sure to ask specific questions a novice could test for and answer.
- When purchasing a used item, there is always risk. To offset and share that risk if there is an unknown defect, I offer to refund the original paid amount upon return of the item. This means the bidder only pays the return shipping.
- If you return a non defective, as advertised item, you will be refunded the bid.
- Leaving feedback is considered acceptance of the item. No returns or refund after leaving feedback.
- If the item is shipped outside the USA, I offer to refund the item cost upon return, but no shipping costs.
- All items are marked prior to shipping to prevent "switch and return".
Deadbeat Bidders
- Bidders are given every practical opportunity to pay. After 2 weeks, a reminder will be issued. After 3 weeks, a final notice will be issued.
- After 4 weeks, I will assume you are a deadbeat bidder and negative feedback will be issued.
- I am not responsible for the actions of the bidder or the US Post Office. The "Lost in the mail" excuse will not work. I either have or have not received the payment.
Be sure to mention the item number in all correspondence, especially when paying.
E-mails will be answered as soon as possible except on weekends.
