Please note feeless acceptance of credit cards at www.c2it.com :
Credit card payments via paypal are accepted for XXXXXXXXXXXX@hotmail.com at XXXXXXXXXX@yahoo.com ONLY. A credit card payment sent to XXXXXXXX@hotmail.com will be denied..
Explanation: www.paypal.com has three types of accounts. No matter what account type one has, it is always free to send money. However, one must have a remieror usiness account to accept money funded by a credit card. Once you pgradeto one of these accounts, paypal takes a fee from EVERY payment that you receive, no matter what the source the funds. This fee is low only if the payment is high (hundreds of dollars). EBay auctions for books , DVDs and music tend to end at low amounts. If one stays at a ersonal account, one enjoys feeless receipt of funds when the source is the sender bank account (as with a bank draft, visa and mastercard debit cards, while not credit cards are treated as such in their authorization process
Total including shipping and insurance (if applicable) $0.01 - $2.99 contact XXXXXXXXX@hotmail.com $3.00 - $3.99 $.43 $4.00 - $4.99 $.46 $5.00 - $5.99 $.49 $6.00 - $6.99 $.52 $7.00 - $7.99 $.55.
Your total fee is based on the dollars of your total (with shipping and insurance). The formula is as follows:
Total fee is $.34plus $(.03*$A) cents. Ais equal to the dollar amount that your auction and shipping total is Do not round up. The fee for a $20 payment is the same as for a $20.99 payment.
Some examples:
$12.32. The total fee is $.70 Here how it works:
Fee is $.34+ $(.03*12) = $.34 $.36 = $.70
$9.55. The total fee is $.61
Fee is $.34+ $(.03*9) = $.34 + $.27 = $.61
$321.88.. The total fee is $9.97:
Fee is $.34+ $(.03*321) = $.34 + $9.63 = $9.97

NO USERS with feedback below 1 should bid. No time wasters, NO INDONESIANS/ROMANIANS/SINGAPORE con artists. Anyone with rating below 20, found bidding on my item from these countries, WILL have his/her bid cancelled, and will be reported to the local authorities an eBay. I am sorry but I do that as a precaution measure, as my account was suspended by request when I was hacked by a user and received a nice 50 on my credit card, plus 2 buys, and a negative feedback...
Auction Term : Please do NOT bid if u are not indented to buy. No neg rating and too many bid contraction's bidder !!! Seller reserve the right to cancel any bid. Winning bidder must contact the seller within 24 hrs to complete the transition and full payment must be received after 7 days of the auction otherwise non-paying report will be filed with e-bay.
A MONEY ORDER CHECK CASH IS FINE. You May Use Paypal BUT ONLY With This Ad's Longer Shipping Limits. Paypal Items Ship NO FASTER Than Any Other Payments & By Bidding You Are Agreeing That Paypal's limits Do Not Supercede This Ad's Shipping Limits. If You Don't Agree Then Don't Use Paypal. If agreed,you may pay by paypal to XXXXXXXXXXXX@aol.com & please decide before bidding as You May Expect Slow Shipping from me As I Only DO EBAY PART TIME & I Have To Have These Slower Limits. I Don't Answer Emails & Shipping Is Slow & Negs Are Returned When Given For These Reasons As I Am Advertising No Emails & Slow Shipping Up Front In My Ads As I Am Often Away. If You Win An Auction You Will Receive My Address In the automatic paypal notice that is sent to you after each auction ends Even If You Are Paying By a MO or Check or Cash. Please Add any zone shipping increases stated in the ad to paypal notice's shipping. Include Item's Lot#s (if any) & Ebay # & Description Of Items & Your Name & Address In With Your Payment So I Know What To Ship. I Can Only Ship This to U.S.A. 50 States Only. No Canada No Overseas shipping. You may add $1.30 for $50.00 or $2.20 for $100.00 insurance or add .45 postal delivery confirmation. YOU MAY EXPECT SHIPPING OF YOUR ITEM IN ABOUT 30 DAYS AFTER I RECEIVE YOUR PAYMENT (EVEN WITH PAYPAL PAYMENTS) I have these long shipping limits as I'm Often Gone & Only Ebay Part Time. I Do This With No Help So I DO NOT ANSWER or OPEN ANY EMAILS DUE TO TRAVELING & DUE TO GETTING VIRUSES(I've had 3 viruses in last 6 months) Many Other Ebay Sellers Don't Answer Emails Also As There's No Time If You Run Alot Of Auctions & It's Not Really Needed. IF YOU EVER HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM(Not Just Late Shipping)Then Please put *ATTENTION SERIOUS PROBLEM* in the title of your email to me so I may see it sooner,But it still may be many days/weeks before I read it so don't worry. My Auction's Notice Is Safely Sent To You In A Paypal Automatic Notice that You Will Receive After Each Auction Ends. Confirmation (not needed by me) Can Be Returned In the Title of Your Email To Me & there's no need for either of us to open any emails. 85% of computers have no virus protection so it won't get better any time soon & I get 100s of them from all over the world each week so I don't Open Them Anymore. The good thing :) is that ebay business can continue as usual as we don't need to open or send any emails to buy n sell on ebay. If an item ever gets lost or is slow arriving don't worry as some are slow now due to postal scanning, dog sniffing searchs & other problems. Books & music etc sent by media mail are really slow arriving. Like all sellers I can't be responsible for lost or damaged items due to mail etc. I haven't had many problems in over 8000 shipments so overall insurance has been a waste of money,but up to you. The few that got lost eventually came back to me by return address & then I recheck the info & reship it. Most Shippings Go Just as Planned. I've had over 8000 completed ebay sales with Many Happy Repeat Customers. With my ad limits I'll get more complaints from those who don't read or remember these limits & now that I accept paypal,as it seems some paypalers expect faster shipping but I can not change my ad's shipping & my no emailing ad limits as I travel & work & I will return unwarranted feedback given to me for these reasons. I Have a Good Feedback % Rating,so Bid With Confidence But with Patience. Don't Worry,Life's Too Short! ... Ad's Description Disclaimer: I am a traveling flea marketeer doing ebay part time on the few days that I am at home. I look for & sell many types of odd n unusual items & on many items I'm not sure how to describe them & I may not know even what an item is, let alone the items value or if repaired or condition origin grade issue date edition finish originallity or damage to them etc. If I see something that looks unusual & odd I try to get it for my auctions. I look for neat stuff to put on ebay while I'm away at shows & fleamarkets. I try to relate in my ads what I see on an item or what I was told about it & I may Miss Some Good or Bad Details as I'm Not an Expert or Collector. If You're not sure about what it is you are bidding on then Just Don't Bid as This is an Old Fashioned As-Is Auction,a No Reserve No Returns No Shipping Back Auction. I take pictures with a video cam to help show which items are being sold & not to show the item's value quality condition color luster tone grade origin age damage cleaning care or wear etc & I do not change or tweak my pictures in any way & who knows how it will look on your computer screen. I realize this ad's limits are not for everyone but I have them as I can Only do this Part Time. So Please Be Patient So We Don't End Up Swapping Negs/Neutrals. I hope you find a treasure here as many have & If you don't find one, Have Fun Anyway! Thanks for Looking At My Fleamarket Booth! GOOD LUCK BIDDING! THANKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
WWW.paypal.com is the preferred method of payment, Due at auction end ! Shipped to USA ONLY for set fee. Canada addresses must add $20.00+ Shipping cost for the paperwork involved in shipping outside the USA. Feedback is left on every auction.DO NOT BID IF YOU HAVE ANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.E-mail for Paypal payment information.******** "Although I try to describe as clearly and honestly as possible and I try to take or get as clear a pictures as I can, Items listed for sale in this or any auction are sold "as is." and are final". I welcome all your questions about my items however, send me any questions before bidding and, especially before the auction ends. Returns or refunds will not be accepted. Orders will be processed within 12 hours or next business day after receipt of VALID payment.****Insurance is optional but without it you do not get a tracking # and if this is an electronic device remember they don't bounce well. I use a set fee for shipping, I use Chino, CA to get the shipping costs from NJ, If you use www.paypal.com the shipping overcharge will be refunded after item is boxed and shipped. Although I use UPS to get shipping rates I use a local shipping co. that boxes and ships for me and sometimes costs more than the UPS quote.ANY ITEM SHIPPED ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES IS AT BUYERS DISCRESSION! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF COUSTOMES IMPOUNDS THE ITEM. NO REFUND IF IT CAN NOT BE SHIPPED TO YOUR COUNTRY. YOU MUST CHECK THE LAW BEFORE BIDDING.
US BIDDERS ONLY!
Sadly, I must now ask that all bidders with feedback of ZERO OR NEGATIVES of any kind, MUST CONTACT ME FIRST BEFORE BIDDING. Failure to do so will result in my cancelling your bid. I am sorry but several others have ruined it for you!
Also, you must remove all blocks from your email BEFORE BIDDING and make sure you can recieve my emails ~ it is not my fault if you do not hear from me ~ sorry!
Payment is expected within 10 days unless, other arrangements are made PRIOR to bidding. Please, ask any and all questions BEFORE bidding, as there are no refunds. I will always combine shipping to save you money, so please check out my other auctions that I will be listing over the next couple of days.
Thank you so much for looking!
Shipping can be combined if multiple auctions are won. I don't have a postal scale, but I do weigh things on my baby scale and my shipping quotes are pretty close. On to the fun stuff. I like to call these *XXXXXX's Rules of Propriety*, but others may know them as *Auction Terms*. I ask that you PLEASE read through them & take them to heart BEFORE you bid thereby avoiding annoyance, irritation & heartache on all sides! I do consider myself a nice & reasonable person, however, and if you have a question regarding any of these items, all I ask is that you PLEASE email me & ask about it PRIOR to bidding. If you wait until after you win to say, "Oh, by the way, can you do this or that...", I will say no simply on principle. All right. Onward & upward!!
1.I accept PayPal, C2it, billpoint, Money Orders or Cashiers Checks only!
I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS, regardless of feedback rating, race, creed, national origin, religious affiliation, parental status, hair color, car-breakdown status, health status, child-care availability, overtime hours, favorite vegetable, athletic status or musical ability. Any personal checks received will be immediately torn up, item will be relisted, negative feedback left & non-paying bidder alert will be filed. I will not send it back, as I do not care to pay return postage. Further complaints will result in having to endure my *I Don't Care* dance - which, trust me, you don't wanna see.
2.Payment MUST BE RECEIVED within 12 days of auction close-NO EXCEPTIONS! I am simply tired of waiting 14 days & receiving no payment & then, after a reminder email, hear that the winner just mailed payment yesterday. Having to wait 3-4 weeks for payment is unacceptable. I am not Layaway. If you know you are paying with a money order, PLEASE make sure you mail it in plenty of time. Please do not count on my good humor in hopes that I will hold your item a couple of extra days for you because I have a 5 year old , a 3 year old & a 4 month old & my good humor is pretty touch-and-go at this point. These terms apply to EVERYONE regardless of feedback rating, race, creed, national origin, religious affiliation, parental status, hair color, car-breakdown status, heath status, child-care availability, overtime hours, favorite vegetable, athletic status or musical ability. At 11 days, I will send a reminder email indicating that PayPal, C2it and Billpoint are your only payment options left & must be received by the next day. This is the ONLY reminder you will get. If payment is still not received, item will be relisted, negative feedback left & non-paying bidder alert will be filed. Further complaints will result in having to endure my *I Don't Care* dance which has been known to permanently scar small children, those with weak hearts, pregnant women & those with back problems. If you have ANY indication that you cannot meet the 10-day deadline (like you are leaving on vacation, going out of town, having surgery, being abducted by aliens, being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, riding the Space Shuttle, entering the witness protection program or have recently noticed truckloads of odd-looking pods being unloaded in your town), PLEASE email me and let me know before you bid - I'm pretty reasonable - or do not bid. I HATE leaving negative feedback, but I hate being left high & dry even more.
3.The high bidder must contact me within 3 days of auction close. I send a convenient, no-hassle form that is automatically generated through Paypal so there is really not much effort on your part. Please either pay directly through that link or email me with your address & payment preference (including whether you prefer 1st class(if offered) or Priority shipping). I don't have time to weed through emails to see who bought what and how many auctions and do a bunch of math to see how you intend for me to ship. If you are still bidding on items, just let me know. I'm more than happy to combine auctions to save on shipping, but I need to know BEFORE you pay me for the 1st auction. Just let me know you're still bidding & give me your address information so I can get your package started. Again, please do this. It is good manners & saves me a TON of irritation. I know that you know you exist, but remember, I have never met you & you could be an aquatic life form for all I know. Without contact, I have to assume you do not exist. At 3 days, I will send a polite reminder email indicating I have not heard from you yet & I must by the next day. This is the ONLY reminder you will get. If contact is still not made, item will be relisted, negative feedback left & non-paying bidder alert will be filed. Further complaints will result in having to endure my *I Don't Care* dance which has been banned in 4 states, all of Asia, Finland and parts of Eastern Europe. If you have ANY indication that you cannot meet this 3-day deadline (like you only check your email once a week, you often wake up in another state, you are a member of the National Guard and this is your one weekend a month, there is a Star Trek marathon this weekend & you plan on not getting off the couch for 72 hours or have recently noticed truckloads of odd-looking pods being unloaded in your town), PLEASE do not bid.
4.US bids only-NO EXCEPTIONS! My wonderful husband does all my mailing now, and he cannot fill out all the customs forms since he has no clue what's in the box. It is really, truly nothing against international locations, I just CANNOT. Even to Canada. Or Puerto Rico. You all live in wonderful places (so I hear), but I simply cannot ship to you, so please understand. If, for some reason you think this does not apply to you & you bid anyway..I will not sell to you. I will cancel your bid and item will be relisted. Further complaints will result in having to endure my *I Don't Care* dance - do you wanna see it? Please don't take it personally. I'm sure you're wonderful.
5.All sales are final-I am happy to answer any and all questions that you may have on an item. I check my email at least 3 times a day, so you will always receive a prompt and thorough response. Please remember that you are typically buying "experienced" (read: used)items from me. Minor flaws may be present, but I don't sell anything that is in terrible condition. I list flaws as I see them. If I make a serious mistake, I'll be happy to refund your money.
6.Insurance is available at the request of the buyer (and my recommendation), as I am not responsible for any package once it is in possession of the USPS. Please make sure that you add enough money to your winning bid, however. The COST TO INSURE A PACKAGE up to $50 is $1.30. If you want it, PLEASE LET ME KNOW & PLEASE send the proper amount. Do not just throw in a little extra & hope I can figure out what you want & feel generous enough to give it to you.
So...these are *XXXXXX's Rules of Propriety*. I am sure to the average bidder, it sounds a bit Type-A, freaked out, anal-retentive, or just plain nasty. I hope you know I mean this all in fun & good humor. I would not have to have these Rules if I had not been underhanded time & time again. More & more, it seems people assume that the Rules apply to everyone but them & they are something unique and special & can make up their own terms & conditions. Please be assured that nothing is further from the truth. For my own sanity & a pleasant auction experience for everyone, please follow them & everyone will be happy!
On my end, I ship on Mondays & Fridays. However, I am pretty accommodating, so if you need it right away, just let me know & I can ship next day. All my items come from a smoke-free home. No stinky items here! I can assure you that all NWT items are exactly that. Bought NWT and never worn, washed, stepped on or driven over. Gently used items have been treated with the utmost care & are described as accurately as I can. If, however, after receiving your item you find that the description was inaccurate, PLEASE let me know. If you return the item that was misrepresented, I will be happy to refund your money, including shipping both ways. I will not, however, issue refunds simply because you changed your mind or decide you do not like the item. That is what pictures & descriptions are for. Again, if you have ANY questions, just ask. I want us both to have a great transaction!
Things to know before we deal..
For Sellers, in brief:
I always pay with either Paypal, Billpoint or money order. [These are POSITIVE funds--funds have to be in the account for the electronic transaction to take place, unlike checks.] NEVER by check. Telling me that you don't take checks makes me think you don't bother reading the emails. If you don't like getting a lot of emails, answer all questions and answer them completely the first time. Short, incomplete or missing answers will almost guarantee a follow-up email. I don't ask questions because I need finger exercise! I ask questions so I can make an informed decision before I make a purchase commitment. I DO question what I consider to be high shipping/handling charges. See homepage link below. Oh, yes, final note on purchasing: When I send you positive funds, and you accept them I expect positive feedback: I've completed my part of our contract. I don't "buy" any excuse about waiting until I'm satisfied with my purchase. Sellers who want BOTH the money first AND feedback first--piss me off no end. If you are one: either neither of us will get feedback (that's happened with me a few HUNDRED times) or you will get neutral or negative feedback!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Buyers, in brief:
This is a hobby. I travel a lot, so I am NOT generally "Mr. Next Day." I also don't guarantee any of the electronics. See the homepage link!
Okay, I have discovered that some Buyers don't get the drift on going to the homepage for the rest of the information. So, I'll try to spell everything out here:
I try to describe what I am selling in a reasonable and straightforward fashion. If I don't mention something, don't assume it.
I do NOT guarantee electronics. You buy, it's yours! No refund. However, you may return the item at your expense. It will then be donated to a local charity! I try to NOT overcharge on shipping or packing. If I can package something myself, I will--no charge. If it has to go through someone else, you pay what I pay--no more. I almost always pick up the tab for delivery confirmation (well, it's included with UPS). If you have questions, ask first.
Once you win an auction, you are committed to follow through!
Speaking of following through: I don't generally have the patience that eBay does. If you are bidding on a Dutch auction--pay as soon as you bid. Don't wait until the auction is over! I WILL end the auction early if everything is sold early! There is also LESS of a chance that I will screw up sending stuff out if I do it one-at-a-time. If you're bidding on a regular auction and you made the bid with under an hour to go--go back and follow-up when it's over. Waiting for me to contact you is pointless, generally. I usually have the shipping amount listed and you have the email address for Paypal payments and the link for Billpoint. If you have a post "win" question--send it immediately. I get a bit cranky if I have a last minute Bidder--who then waits for a day, or two or three before getting back to me. I have actually cancelled 4 sales in the last few months because a Bidder put in their bid Friday afternoon from work, the auction ended within a few hours--and I didn't hear anything until Monday. I simply don't tolerate that behaviour. If you bid in the last few hours--you are expected to follow through in a few hours. It is NOT my problem if you go in the hospital, your family went on vacation, the cat, dog and bird went on David Letterman and a meteor hit your house. LET ME KNOW, I'll work with ya!
Buyer's Remorse Chargebacks: I have no tolerance for "gee, I don't like it...whatever...I want a refund..." I have had one Buyer do a chargeback on me through Paypal--he turned around and repaid 48-hours later--and one more who threatened a chargeback. If you do a chargeback against me, I will make a point of making your life as miserable as I can for the next 30 days--longer if you don't reverse the chargeback and I take you to small claims court.
You could end up with frozen bank cards and bank accounts for months.
Since Paypal went from being a nice, friendly financial clearing house to being like most other banks, I don't trust them. They don't mind taking money back away from Sellers--but they don't give it back to the Buyer's right away--they sit there and use the money as long as they can get away with it. That's "business" of course, but it leaves both of us out in the cold. If I've screwed up, I have no problem doing a refund of the payment (less fees and shipping, of course). HOWEVER: If I've sold you something that said "no refund" in the auction--you agreed that you wouldn't get a refund when you bid.
BOOKS SECTION
With 90% of the books I sell, I don't make anything. You've ended up with a book at a reasonable price, our library has received a donation and the postal service has made money. I just want some positive feedback within a day or so of your receiving the book. If I don't get it, I will remind you. Even if the book isn't what you were expecting (I've ended up with a BUNCH of those!) at least you received what you paid for:)
XXXX's Way of Doing Things . . . 8>)
Hi . . . . Good chance that if you are reading this page, I have suggested that you check this page out--we are either in process of doing a deal or may be about to . . . in either event, read on... Despite the rather low feedback number, I have participated in nearly 1,100 auctions either by myself or with my wife. If you are giving me advice: most likely I've already tried whatever you are suggesting....except for the ones that sound particularly painful or difficult:>) Payment: I NEVER use personal checks. We use: Paypal Billpointor money orders. If you go on about your check policy: all you do is reduce my opinion of your reading ability! Generally, I pay within hours of the end of an auction. If there are questions, it could take weeks if I don't hear back from you. PAYPALPAYMENTS: I much prefer to make Paypal payments to those who have a Premier or Business account. The Reason I prefer to pay those accounts: it doesn't reduce my pay limit! That IS important to me. As of Mid-June 2001, I am making a change of Policy: I would prefer it if you would pay with Billpoint. I had one Buyer, Chuck, who got a little impatient for his item and had Paypal pull $185 out of my account. They were more than happy to take money out. He had received his item 36 hours BEFORE they took my payment away. It took a 45-minute phone call to them and a confirmation call to Chuck before they reluctantly returned my money. The CSRs lie, they don't do follow-up and they don't return calls. Yes, I have all of the allegations documented--which is more than I can say for them. IF you pay using Paypal and for ANY REASON you decide you want to stop the payment, expect that I will take you to local (WA or OR) small claims court for a minimum of $500+court costs+ whatever the original total was. If I get hit with any fees by Paypal as a result of a transaction with you--I will come after you for those fees plus $50 for my time and expenses. Confirmation/Tracking: When I pay for it...I expect to get the information...before the package arrives! If you don't send it, as of 1 July 2000 I will no longer leave positive feedback. You will get a choice of none or Neutral. Feedback: If you get prompt (within 48 hours), positive (no check) funds and you keep it--I've earned my positive feedback. I''ve upheld my part of the contract. If you don't like the money (so far, I have only run into that twice) send it back and we'll call it "good." I will provide you feedback based on : (1) did you answer any questions in a reasonable manner (that means before the auction is over, without being rude and in coherent English). (2) did you charge just the shipping or did you add in your own padding. (3) Did you email a confirmation/tracking number the day you shipped? (4) was what I got what was represented in the auction? (5) did I receive it in a reasonable amount of time? (A day or two if you're in the Northwest, 7-10 days if you're in Florida. A month is generally NOT reasonable.) IF you pull something stupid like "I want feedback for my item, then I'll give you feedback," neither one of us will get feedback and you WILL go on my Nasty Seller's List. I will also, on my site, let others know that you are a selfish so-and-so. IF all went well on 1-5 above, good chance you will end up on my Wonderful Seller's List. Once a year, I will be choosing someone on the WSL and sending them a Bonus Payment or Gift Certificate. In 2000, I did send two "Wonderful Sellers" Gift Cerfificate Books from Starbucks. IF you are buying something from me: First, let me clue ya: This is a hobby and not my career. I am not real fast to the Post office or MBE (MailBoxes, Etc.). I try to be as fast and honest as possible. UPDATE: I have discovered that it takes me DAYS longer to mail anything if I have to ship it insured. I've had a couple of Buyers get a bit testy because of the extra time it took. I don't blame them, but that's the way it seems to be working out. This is NOT true if I use UPS or USPS. I now have (June 2001) FedEx Ground available. Competitive with UPS for ground service. I sell off stuff that I'm not using any more or that I inherited or that I picked up at a garage sale or from someone. I don't guarantee anything unless I EXPLICITLY say so. Nor do I take anything back, well, let me rephrase that: If you don't like something and you choose to return it, you may do so at your own expense--but I won't refund your money. I had one Buyer who returned a printer. I let it sit for a month then donated it to a local charity. Wife would do bad things to me for refunding after this warning! You buy it, it's YOURS! I will give you positive feedback for prompt, positive funds:) If you send a check, expect it to come back--you can now make "check" payments electronically via Billpoint. (sigh, or Paypal) My bank doesn't like me--so they take as long as they can to give me clear funds. That means up to 21 business days from the time they get it. To give you an idea: You send payment to me: 5 days +/-. I send it to our bank: 3 days+/-. They screw around with it for 21 days. There went a month!

Note: Bidding on items has been known to cause houses to burn down, people to not receive paychecks on time, people to find out that their kids used their passwords and bid on items without permission, people to delete my e-mails by accident, sickness, sudden memory loss, deaths in the family, people to lose jobs, computers to crash, out of town vacations, emergency business trips, hardware failures, network outages, and people to move places of residence among other things.
There is no need to e-mail me to say that you are sending payment, I either receive an e-mail notification from the electronic payment service or your snail-mail payment envelope arrives
NOTE:
I reserve the right to refuse to sell to and remove the bids of bidders suspected of fraudulent bidding due to unverifiable contact information, excessive bidding with new Ebay accounts and reports from other sellers that they are engaged in fraudulent activity. I will take action against such bidders by filing a complaint against them with Ebay concerning their fraudulent contact information and will ban them from my auctions.
PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU INTEND TO PAY!
I will file a non paying bidder alert to recover my listing fees against non paying bidders. Receipt of more than three NPBA can result in an indefinite suspension of your account by Ebay so before not paying please consider that!
IMPORTANT fine print: Please read ENTIRE description & view ALL photos before bidding.
Absolutely, positively Do Not bid on this item unless you CAN & WILL follow through with this purchase! Unless stated otherwise in the auction itself, all items are sold "as is". All sales are final. We describe to the best of our ability. All items are to be considered "used" unless otherwise indicated in the description.
If you no longer want this item, please retract your bid now to avoid suspension by eBay or negative feedback! Please do not bid on items unless you actually want them.
One of my personal favorites
(picture show above may be different from the actual item)
Download our Complete Policies and Procedures in 3 easy formats to choose from!!!
2) Your bid is a contract. You have electronically signed a contract, binding you to pay for any items bid upon. If you do not pay, you will be reported and eBay will punish to the fullest extent (including full suspension of account!)
3) If you retract a bid, it must be within 10 minutes of placing the original bid. There is NO REASON to remove a bid unless you mistype bid amount. Any bid retraction for ANY other reason will be reported to eBay.
If you aren't willing to pay the shipping amount specified, do NOT bid on this auction. If you want your shipment insured you must specifically ask for it and pay for it. Ship in continental U.S. and HI only. No bids will be accepted from bidders with zero (0) feedback. You may pay with PayPal if you wish. Please be aware that PayPal no longer allows credit card payments to anyone with a "personal" level PayPal account, so you will NOT be able to pay via PayPal with a credit card. Once again, YOU WILL *NOT* BE ABLE TO PAY VIA PAYPAL WITH A CREDIT CARD! So, if you wish to use PayPal, unless you are willing and able to do a transfer from your PayPal account (not using a credit card), you must not bid on this auction. I always end my auctions early, so don't wait until the last minute to bid or you will miss out.
BEFORE PLACING A BID PLEASE READ THIS!!! What you are bidding on is sold as is with no refund! I reserve the right to relist and leave feedback to any auction winner that does not contact me within 3 days of end auction and if you can't put money in my hands within 7 days from end auction DO NOT BID or else this will result in non paying bidder process and negative feedback.
ALSO I highly recommend purchasing insurance for all items I sale, since I will not be held responsible for items that usps mishandles or loses and will not refund, it has happened so its your choice, just a $1.10 covers up to 50.00 in insurance.
Now with all that said if you are still interested in bidding on my auction please re-read the auction description and ask any questions you may have.Thanks for your business and God Bless!
** Payment must be received within ten days of the close of auction, Please DO NOT bid unless you are going to follow through with your purchase!! eBay sellers are responsible for numberous fees each time an auction ends successfly. If you do not pay for your auction, it costs us money. We will complete non paying bidder forms and leave negative feedback for any non paying bidders. Please be considerate!! Thank You. GOOD LUCK!!!!
Payment expected within 10 days of auctions end in the form of money order or cashiers check ONLY. If you send me a personal check I will send it back and the deal will take that much longer.
I reserve the right to cancel any and all bids from bidders with negative or zero feedback.

Paying with Billpoint/eBay Payments ASAP.
We require contact within 2 days and payment must reach us in 7 days (domestic) 10 Days

Why these time frames?
eBay Bills us for your bid minutes after the auction ends, so your winning bid or Buy It Now Costs
us money. We hate having to track down bidders/buyers and contacting eBay to get fees back as it
can cause suspension for some buyers.
We no longer chase your payment as we feel if you can't afford to pay on the day you should not be
bidding or using Buy It Now. Chasing after late payers wastes time better spent helping our valued
patrons.
7 days after auction close we send a personal friendly reminder
10 days after auction close we send an official eBay nonpayment warning
email
10 days from warning we file a Non Paying bidder to get our fees back and
relist the item. Be aware 3 of these and eBay will suspend you acount. Once
we relist we will not accept payment and they will be refused and the
NonPaying Bidder filing will stand.

payment what would they say?

AUCTION & SHIPPING POLICIES
A little about me:
Hello:
I am an avid buyer/seller on Ebay. All of my items up for auction are described to the very best of my ability. Many items have been acquired at auction and, though I usually know what's valuable when I see it, I am not an expert in all categories of antiques, vintage items, and collectables. I am not here to mislead or lie to anyone. If you have any questions at all, or if you feel that one of my descriptions is inaccurate or missing important information, please do not hesitate to send me an email. I want people to be happy and satisfied with my items.
My take on leaving feedback: Sellers should leave feedback AS SOON AS THEY RECEIVE PAYMENT!!! If I purchase something from you and you don't leave me feedback FIRST, there's a good chance I won't leave you any either just out of plain old spite. I can't stand these people who wait for the BUYER to leave feedback first. It's not right and I don't like it. If you purchase something from me and pay promptly, you will receive positive feedback from me IMMEDIATELY, as you should. I hope you'll do the same when your item is received.
My auction & shipping policies:
Bidding:
PLEASE do not bid if you do not intend to, or cannot, pay should you win the auction. I don't like it one little bit and you will be automatically reported for non-payment after 7 days.
PLEASE, for the love of all that is good and holy, if you are uncertain about the description or condition of one of my items, email me before you place a bid. Ask me anything you like. Whatever pops into your head. I love getting emails. It gives me a big thrill and makes me feel all big and important, so email away. I would not want you disappointed with your item but, if you are it will most likely be your own fault for not speaking up and obtaining any important information when you had a chance. Remember, your bid is a legally binding contract, like it or not.
I reserve the right to refuse to sell to you, cancel your bid, and/or block you from bidding on my auctions if I feel you are naughty and will be a non-paying pain in the butt. By this, I mean:
Having any negative feedback that worries me.
Giving me a run-around or ignoring my emails after the auction has ended.
Not sending me an email with your payment intentions within three days of end of auction.
Telling idiotic stories about how you had the money order all ready to go and the dog ate it then
someone stole your dog then the place where you get your money orders was stolen by aliens, etc.
Shipping:
I ship within the U.S. only!!!
I send most of my items via Priority Mail since, through hard experience, I have found that Priority shipping seems to arrive in one piece nearly every time, as opposed to cheaper methods.
I will ship within the United States only. Please do not bid if you live outside of the US, if you do I will not honor the sale should you win and I will submit a report with Ebay in order to have my final value fee refunded.
All of my items are packaged securely and properly. Once an item leaves my posession I am no longer responsable in any way for its welfare. If you don't trust your item to the tender mercies of the US Postal Service (and who does?) then please request insurance. I have found that damage is very rare but it DOES HAPPEN occasionally, so be warned. I will ship insured items on Saturdays only. Sorry but, this is the only day that I am free to travel to the post office to acquire it.
If your item arrives damaged you will use your postal insurance to request a refund from the POST OFFICE, not me. If you do not request insurance and your package arrives damaged sorry, you're out of luck. I can't control the actions of the apes that pass for postal carriers.
If an item sells for a high price, I reserve the right to require you pay the insurance charge. Postal insurance is very cheap and worth every penny in some cases.
Returns:
I don't accept 'em. All sales are final.
Overzealous bidding and buyer's remorse are really really frustrating but, they are definitely not valid reasons for refusing to pay or demanding a refund.
If you feel that an item you purchased from me was not as described, let me know and there's a microscopically small chance that I may agree to a refund. As I stated before, questions should be asked before bidding and I describe everything as fully and as accurately as possible, so good luck.
In the very unlikely event that I do agree to a return/refund, I will refund the cost of the item only. All shipping charges, including the cost of returning shipping of the item, are the responsibility of the buyer. I will not, under any circumstances whatsoever, offer a refund unless the item is returned to me first, and in the same condition that it was shipped.
PLEASE NOTE: WE SELL NO ITEM BEFORE AUCTION IS ENDED. PLEASE READ MY DISCLAIMERS AND SHIPPING POLICY
AS IT APPLIES WHETHER YOU HAVE READ IT OR NOT. My company is XXXXXXXX. The phone number is XXXXXXX. We are committed to providing you an accurately described and listed item with prompt shipment. We genuinely want our customers to be happy and our 99% feedback approval on thousands of sales show this..With important and significant exceptions I will enumerate, the Conditions of Sale are:Item sold is being sold: As is, all sales being final with no refunds or returns. Due to the volume and variety of the objects we handle we may or may not have expertise to properly list or describe certain items to the satisfaction of the collector. We handle items for consignment much like an auction. It is incumbent upon the buyer to determine if he wants to bid on this item or not. Exception to my Conditions of sale are as follows: 1) We sell no reproductions or fake knowingly or unless listed as such. I guarantee that my items are genuine and as listed for all items from 1900 forward. All other items predating this time are guaranteed to be as listed. If I list an item as 17th century it is 17th century, if I list an item as by Tiffany it is guaranteed to be by Tiffany, etc. I will NOT warrant antique fakes or copies as long as I do not specifically attribute an item. For example, if I list a vase as: Old Chinese Vase and it is a 19th century copy of a Ming vase, it is not returnable. If I list a vase as being Ming and it turns out to be not, it would be returnable. The second exception to Conditions of Sale: 2) I will stand behind statements I make in listing as to condition of the item within its objective limits. In other words, if I say something is not chipped, cracked, repaired or broken, I will stand behind it.If I state an item is silver it is silver, if I say it is sterling, 14 karat etc I stand behind it. If I make a statement based on either my or another's expertise, I will stand behind it, and it will be clearly stated as an expert opinion. I will stand behind descriptions made as an expert opinion by myself or others, but ONLY under if stated as such. Statements I make which do not void my Conditions of Sale are thus: Subjective and qualitative descriptions are just that. They are my opinion and not meant to be a definitive description. These statements are made as personal impressions and an honest attempt to describe this item from a layperson's point of view. Again, due to the variety of items we sell I may not be aware of the standards within that collecting field. We welcome all emails and post whatever fresh information we feel is important. For subjective opinions, we do our best to provide quality pictures of the item. Use these to make determination of the quality and condition of the item. What I think is fairly clean may not be what you thing is fairly clean. What I think is bright colors may not be what you feel are bright colors. Look at the pictures! Again I welcome all emails and will attempt to answer them to the best of my ability. In the case that the item is misrepresented under my terms, which is never intentional, I will be glad to 1) adjust the price to a mutually agreeable sum, or 2)refund your money including shipping costs back. I limit my liability to the price you have paid for the item including shipping, and the shipping costs back to me. COMPLETING SALE: Please note that as a volume seller IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON MY PAYMENT MESSAGE. Any problems that result of your not following my simple directions may result in delayed shipping of your item. You may be surprised how many people make payment with no Ebay #. Any bad feedback to me for problems occuring by the customer not following these directions will result in reciprocating bad feedback. I do not use the Ebay checkout system and delete all checkout messages. EMAILS:We answer all emails that require a response. Emails from the weekend may not be answered until Monday. Please note that emails are not infallible. My computer does not open Emails with viruses and occasionally emails do not go through because a server may be down on the route. If you are not receiving responses to your emails call or write. Reserve, if applicable, will not be disclosed. Payment may be made by money order, certified check or phoned in credit card. I do NOT accept paypal or other credit card services other than my own. Please note that I accept credit cards only if you agree to my Conditions of Sale, with its exceptions and agree not to try to avoid conditions of sale through the credit card company. SHIPPING COSTS: All shipping costs stated apply to MAINLAND US only. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS need shipping costs negotiated. Shipping is a service and I DO CHARGE for my handling costs, and these are described in the text. Unless otherwise noted items go out priority US mail.delivery confirmation, and insurance is added to the price, as it is cost based. You are purchasing these items from a business and the time I save by paying employees to ship is spent in finding the items you want. Please bid with shipping costs in mind. IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO INSURE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF ANY KIND. The minimum charge for shipping with insurance is $6 plus the insurance. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE READ MY GUARANTEES AND DISCLAIMERS. WHILE I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ANY CUSTOMERS, IF YOU CANNOT AGREE TO MY TERMS, DON'T BID. FURTHER, IN AGREEING TO MY TERMS OF SALE WITH THE NOTED EXCEPTIONS, YOU WILL BE AGREEING TO NOT USING CREDIT CARD REVERSALS AS A MEANS OF GETTING AROUND MY TERMS OF SALE. BIDDING ON MY ITEMS MEAN THAT YOU AGREE TO MY TERMS OF SALE AND OTHER CONDITIONS
