We have been notified that our picture hosting for our store will be cancelling our photos. If there is something you are interested in that isn't showing photos, let us know. We are going to have to go through about 200 books to take new photos. And we thought just changing handling charges was bad...ugh
Emails responded to within 48 BUSINESS HOURS of receiving. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. EMAIL ALL QUESTIONS, EVEN IF WE CALL YOU TO FIND OUT WHY WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED PAYMENT. THANK YOU! ***If you have your settings set to block all email except those in your address book, you should change your settings. We will not try to get you to accept our email and I am sure you will miss other email that will affect your online purchases.
Shipping day is TUESDAY see below for shipping schedule.
ALWAYS CHECK SHIPPING BEFORE YOU BID! We have this on every listing at the top, in the listing and payment instructions, but seems like there is always someone that can't read and tries to negotiate....just don't bid.
If we have a buy it now, great, if we don't we will not add it. Please don't ask.
This is below; we don't take more pictures. We don't measure books, books are for reading, if you are a collector, sorry but we like to sell books to someone that will read it. IE the length and width of book...ummm where are you wearing it...lol
We don't negotiate any shipping ever!
PAY PAL ONLY
NO OTHER PAYMENTS ACCEPTED
Howdy
THANK YOU FOR READING ME!!!!
LESS THAN 50 FEEDBACK (the total number next to your eBay name.) EMAIL PRIOR TO BID.
We reply to emails you send us. If it is kicked back as nondeliverable, your bid will be cancelled and you will be blocked from bidding. We are canceling all bidders who do not email prior to bidding. It doesn't matter how close it is to the close of the auction or your percentage. You must email prior to bidding if you have less than 50 feedback. If you do not, it is obvious you did not read ME prior to bidding.
BUYER'S WHO HAVE THEIR FEEDBACK HIDDEN WILL HAVE THEIR BID CANCELLED NO QUESTIONS.
IF YOUR BID IS CANCELLED, YOU CAN EMAIL US. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS TONS TO LEARN ABOUT EBAY. WE WILL BLOCK YOU IF YOU BID AGAIN WITHOUT EMAILING US.
Please note that we require this email because you aren't necessarily familiar with eBay policies which clearly state you are entering into a contract with the seller to abide by the seller's terms and conditions. It just requires a hi, I want to bid...that is all...
PRIOR TO BIDDING CHECK SHIPPING! If you have more than 50 feedback, you should know to do this. Don't email us afterwards no matter what your feedback and tell us you missed that we have a handling charge for every auction. We NEVER negotiate SHIPPING and will not respond to such requests. Shipping shown on eBay page at the bottom should be the total correct amount if you have logged in to eBay prior to bidding.
AGAIN IN PLAIN ENGLISH PLEASE DON'T ASK IF WE SHIP ANOTHER MANNER, IF WE CAN LOWER SHIPPING, ETC. THAT IS WHAT IS MEANT BY NEGOTIATING...WE DON'T. WE SHOW SHIPPING ON THE CALCULATOR, DON'T BID IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT...DON'T EMAIL US BEFORE OR AFTER TO ASK US IF WE WILL! WE WON'T!!!

ONLINE POSTAL INSURANCE is your only refund; we will email the information you need. Make sure that you have all packing material if the item is damaged. We will not email this information or mail it unless your item is not delivered or damaged. NOTHING ABOUT INSURANCE WILL SHOW ON THE PACKAGE, IT IS NOT USPS INSURANCE; we buy online insurance. Insurance covers the eBay cost of the item only! shipping cost is not insurable.
DO NOT RETURN ANYTHING TO US. WE WILL REFUSE IT. RETURNING IT WILL NOT BREAK YOUR PAYMENT RESPONSIBILITY.
Insurance coverage and shipping refunds are held for a month. (Pay Pal will not allow refunds after 60 days, so if we send you an email saying you are due a shipping refund, you must leave feedback prior to this time or we can not refund you.)
Make sure you check your email and mailing address you have in Pay Pal, this is the only address your item will ship to, it is easy to type in a corrected or different mailing addresses in eBay. Please don't use comments in Pay Pal for address, please actually enter it in eBay's checkout before you get to the Pay Pal screen. If you don't know how, then ask eBay, they are really helpful.
FEEDBACK
Once feedback is received, if we owe you a shipping refund, we will refund it at that time (if it is within 30 days of receipt of item). We don't ask you to email us when you receive your item, please leave feedback and we will know all arrived ok. Please do email us if your item doesn't arrive BY THE DATE WE SHOW ON YOUR ITEM SHIPPED EMAIL, or immediately if item is broken/damaged. That way we can do the refund in one transaction. Thank you for your prompt payment!)
We have delivery confirmation on all items shipped in the United States, we send you the delivery confirmation number. Outside USA will only have when the item is shipped. A woman owns this business, her nickname is Waldo, user ID waldoette. No one should ever bid without checking shipping first. We maintain transaction information for three months; if you read something in feedback and wonder about it, let us know.
MISC. INFORMATION
PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS (BUT DON'T ASK US about how many pictures a book has, to add photos, anything that would involve our repulling the book, we do our best to answer questions, but details we don't always recall. Shipping is as shown in the calculator. We don't change shipping method from your payment accept for small items where a Priority rate is paid and First Class is the same ship time (of course we catch this before packaging). WE DO SEND AUTO REPLIES, BUT REAL PEOPLE READ YOUR EMAILS. And again, we don't send a confirmation of receiving your payment, pay pal sends you one.) You know details about books aren't always remembered, so asking if a name is in a book and it isn't in the description, I know we won't remember, hit a library and find out.
ALL ITEMS SOLD AS SHOWN IN EBAY PHOTOGRAPH AS IS. If you notice auction title says something totally different than picture, please ask. We have forgotten to change photos when relisting items and all information was correct except for the picture.
IF WE HAVE THE WRONG ILLUSTRATOR LISTED FOR A BOOK AND YOU ARE BUYING THE BOOK SOLELY FOR THE ILLUSTRATIONS, PLEASE VERIFY THAT THE ILLUSTRATOR IS CORRECT, we usually have a picture of the books title page. IF WE DON'T SAY A BOOK IS ILLUSTRATED, IT ISN'T. WE DO NOT GIVE A REFUND FOR THE WRONG ILLUSTRATOR LISTED. THE CATAGORY ETC. THROUGH EBAY AND THE AUCTION TITLE IS NOT THE TITLE OF THE BOOK OR ITEM! PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ THE description WE ENTER AND OUR DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK. And please let us know if photos aren't appearing. We are trying to make sure they are, but if you see a book missing photos, let us know.
If you are an ABAA member and have some additional information, please do send!!!
Just because a book is common in UK etc., doesn't mean it is in USA.
WE TRY TO INCLUDE A PICTURE OF THE COVER AND COPYRIGHT PAGE of older books if it contains a date; or for newer books, then we use eBay's information. Only what is shown in photograph is what is being sold (if a container doesn't have a lid in the picture, it won't have one when sent).
We list the main information about books and items. If we don't have flaws listed, it is because we didn't notice one to list. If we don't have a count for pictures, graphs, names etc. found in the book, we are sorry but unfortunately we don't have time to repull the book (PLEASE DON'T EMAIL AND ASK US). We rarely measure a book. Not sure why you would need them...lol...never someone wearing a book...lol...A book store would be a better place for you to browse, or visit your local library.
If we are missing measurements on an item or something else, you can ask, we will give you our best guess, but we are not usually able to repull the item to find out.
Items are purchased at auctions, estate sales, and other sales, so we don't state smoke free etc. because we haven't a clue if the previous owner smoked anything. ANTIQUE BOOKS CAN HAVE STRANGE/MUSTY ODORS! WE DO NOT MENTION ODORS FOR BOOKS...THEY ARE FOR READING, NOT SMELLING. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE ODORS FROM BOOKS, THEY ARE PAPER AND ABSORB. (If I notice a smell, it is odd so I will note it.)
Yes, we continuously prove we are human and apologize that we know we make errors. WE do try. We do want this to be a friendly, fast and easy transaction. You Pay, we ship, you leave feedback, we leave feedback and the transaction is done...pleasant for us all!
CHECK CHECK AND RECHECK EVERY DETAIL BEFORE YOU BUY! I know it is hard to do! We purchased a dress that said XL in title, but L in description...dress turned out to be an L, but we didn't notice the discrepancy. So we know it is difficult to catch every thing when buying.
eBay does have a referral for verification services of antiques, books, etc. If you are not sure that a book etc. is an original/as described, you can check with the services they provide. We do our best guess on all items, sometimes we do get additional information about an item from nice eBay people or other authorities and we will add it.
If you really really need something fast, please request shipping through eBay before paying; however, we ship by Tuesday according to above schedule except when on vacation. When requesting shipping amount state in comments that you need this asap and OR ADD $2.00 in checkout/Pay Now.
happy bidding!)
Thank you soooo much for reading all of this! We know it takes time and it may ramble or not apply to you. If you are like us, we usually pay immediately through pay pal at end of auction, this information wasted your time. We are sorry, but really appreciate that you read this!!!
