~~Welcome~~
Hi, I'm Charolaisgirl-pronounced "shar-uh-lay". Thanks for taking a look. I wanted to tell you a little more about my auctions and one of the new changes to ebay recently, that states- Sellers can no longer accept paper payments. The following quote is from Ebay’s corporate communications department. “While ebay requires sellers to take paypal, it is not forcing buyers to use this method. Should a buyer insist upon paying with paper, a seller – at their sole discretion – can choose to accept paper. Sellers at no time may solicit a paper payment, but again, should the buyer ask, the seller may accept paper. We believe this provides sufficient protection and choice for buyers, without asking sellers to turn away business” Email me if interested.
Also I wanted to mention my policy on returns. I do not accept returns unless item is grossly misrepresented by me, or in other words- I totally messed up! I always have lots of photos and try to point out any and all flaws I find. Please keep in mind that older items usually have some kind of wear or factory type flaws, vintage items do not normally look brand new! Of course, if there is some kind of problem, please let me know, I'm sure we can work it out.
(I prefer happy customers!)
If you have questions, ask before bidding. I usually can get back to you fairly soon.
Most of my items are vintage or antique, and definitely have been used. I love to hit the yard sales, thrift stores, auctions and even my own personal collections (when I get in one of those cleaning-everything needs to go- moods) to find some great treasures and other unique items.
My home is smoke free, but one time I did catch my 2 cats and 2 dogs smokin behind the shed! Well, I got me a hickory and whooped their lil butts, lets just say they won't be doin that again! I do clean my items to at least get the dust off and to check for damage, but as far as getting every nook and cranny cleaned, I will leave that up to you. I can not tell you how many times I have damaged an item trying to clean it. You may know the proper procedure, and I probably do not.
I also would like to take this time to mention that I am not an expert in antiques or collectible items. I buy what appeals to me and hope you will like it too. When I find something that I am not sure about I search the web and/or the Pottery/Glass board, the Collectible board or the Antique board here on ebay. Some wonderful fellow ebayers that share their knowledge. {Thank you Boardies!} After getting an identification on an item, then I try to find out a little more. So, if you see something I have listed that just doesn't seem quite right, please don't hesitate to ask questions or email me to correct me, I welcome that.
I love to combine shipping whenever possible, but you have to wait till I send an invoice with the correct shipping amount before you pay and only if you make ONE payment for all. If you do win an item and want to try and win another, just send me a quick email and let me know your intentions so I don't send you an invoice for the one item only. Also since most of my items are breakable, there will be a limit that I can safely combine breakable items.
I prefer to send items out Priority Mail, but due to the new priority mail dimensional weight rate they have started, I may have to change that with larger items. Will try and send it the most safest, quickest and cheapest way possible. I ship fast! Check out my feedback, I normally ship within 24 hours after receiving payment.
I try my best to make our transaction smooth and pleasant. I pack my items with care and communication is very important to me. A little bit can go a long way!
So, if your still with me, thanks for taking a look here and happy ebaying!!!
