BIDDING & BUYING    back to FAQ index | view items for sale


Oops! How do I cancel my bid?
To cancel your bid BEFORE the auction has ended, please visit eBay's Bid Retraction page.

To cancel your bid AFTER the auction/Buy It Now has ended you will need to contact Discount Tommy. Since eBay charges Discount Tommy fees for every item we list, we must contact eBay for reimbursement of those fees when an item is not paid for. The eBay "unpaid item" notification can negatively impact your account with eBay so we do allow customers to reimburse us directly for our listing fees (approximately $5 per item), in which case we will NOT contact eBay.

Please note that Discount Tommy expects ALL customers to complete checkout and pay for any items they purchase on eBay. Thank you for your cooperation.

I don't see a Buy It Now option, how do I purchase the item?
Once 1 customer places a bid on an item eBay will remove the Buy It Now option for all customers. So if you see a product you really want and the Buy It Now option is still available, be sure to act quickly!

Visit our eBay store for a complete list of our Buy It Now listings.

If an item didn't sell at auction, how do I purchase it?
Discount Tommy lists thousands of products a week on eBay. When a product does not sell it is usually relisted within a few days. For your convenience you can easily find products using the search form on our item listings or the Discount Tommy eBay Store.

Why does PayPal say "Seller does not accept instant payments"?
PayPal helps large sellers, like Discount Tommy, carefully match payments to orders to enusre that all payments are properly processed. This allows Discount Tommy to confirm your payment and ship your order quickly. As a result you must complete our checkout before sending a PayPal payment.

CHECKOUT    back to FAQ index | view items for sale


How do I complete my purchase?
Discount Tommy uses a secure online checkout that allows you to save money on shipping (by combining multiple items), confirm your address, enter optional coupons and pay for your purchase. Please use the Checkout button at the top of the item listing when you are ready. Completion of our online checkout also allows you to use the My Account feature of our website to track your packages and review your order history.  Orders will be delayed and/or cancelled for customers who do not complete our online checkout. Thank you for your cooperation.
 

Why isn't my item ready for checkout?
Once an auction ends or an item is purchased with Buy It Now, our systems need to collect the customer information from eBay. This process can take up to a few hours during which time the item will not be ready for checkout. Once the item IS ready for checkout, we will email the buyer with a custom link to our quick and secure checkout.

I forgot my password! How do I get it?
If you are a returning Discount Tommy customer you may have created a password during our secure checkout. If you can't remember your password, we'll be happy to send it to you.

Please note that the Discount Tommy password is not related to your eBay password and is designed to give you secure access to information on your My Account page and expedited checkout for future orders.

Can I use eBay Checkout to complete my purchase?

Orders will be delayed and/or cancelled for customers who do not complete our online checkout. Thank you for your cooperation.

Why does your checkout say my email address is not correct?
When an item is purchased on eBay, the user ID of the buyer/winner is recorded by eBay. Discount Tommy is then contacted by eBay with the details on the transaction, including the buyer's email address. For security purposes Discount Tommy requires the buyer to enter the winning buyer's email address during checkout. If the email address entered does not match the email address on file with eBay, then you will not be able to complete your purchase.

If you need additional assistance, please contact us. Thank you.

 

 
INTERNATIONAL    back to FAQ index | view items for sale


Can you mark my international shipment as a gift?
No. We wish we could BUT by law we are required to ship all our packages as commercial shipments. We prefer UPS for our Canadian and International shipments because all shipments include tracking and insurance.

Fortunately our customers get amazing deals on our products! We do understand that duties and taxes are often collected on these purchases and we hope the savings you are enjoying by shopping with Discount Tommy makes shopping with us worthwhile.

What types of International payment do you accept?
Canadian and International buyers can use the following forms of payment in ($) US Dollars :
 




Who pays for duties and customs fees?

Canada: We are pleased to be one of the few sellers registered with Canada as a Non-Resident Importer (NRI). We take care of all of the paperwork and pay all the taxes and brokerage fees (GST, Canadian import duties and brokerage).

International orders other than Canada are subject to duties, taxes and fees as determined by their local government.

Shipments to all other countries are subject to local duties, taxes and fees. Since each country is different, Discount Tommy is not able to assist in collecting those duties and all duties, taxes and fees must be paid by the customer upon delivery (COD) of the package. Fortunately NO BROKERAGE FEES are due since we ship with UPS Express.

Please note that customers are responsible for observing all customs rules when making purchases - many countries restrict footwear based on the material, especially for exotic skins like alligator or snake. Discount Tommy is not responsible for items held by customs.
