I inspect every item before I list it to be as sure as possible that I am providing you with an accurate description. I would never knowingly mislead anyone with my descriptions, and would not sell anything that I could not sell you if we were dealing face to face. While I am fairly knowledgeable in glassware and pottery, I do not claim to be an expert in any field. I describe everything to the best of my ability.
I know that you are an honest bidder who intends to honor the terms of the auction, however a few bad experiences with bidders have caused me to have the following policies.
ITEM CONDITIONS
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, THE ITEMS I SELL ARE USED.
I WILL SHIP THEM TO YOU IN THE CONDITION I GET THEM.
SOME ITEMS MAY NEED SOME CLEANING WHEN YOU RECEIVE THEM.
SHIPPING AND BILLING
I charge actual shipping plus $1.00 handling charge to offset some of my eBay listing fees. This is so I can continue to list all items with modest starting bids and no reserve.
THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR WITHIN THE AUCTION LISTING WILL GIVE U. S. BIDDERS THE SHIPPING CHARGES.
ACTUAL SHIPPING MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM ESTIMATE THE CALCULATOR GIVES YOU, BUT U. S. BIDDERS WILL PAY NO MORE.
SHIPPING CHARGES ARE BASED UPON MY ESTIMATE OF THE PACKAGED SHIPPING WEIGHT.
I DO NOT PACK ITEMS UNTIL THEY ARE SOLD AND PAID FOR, THEN I WEIGH THEM.
I WILL SEND YOU AN EBAY INVOICE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION THAT WILL INCLUDE YOUR SHIPPING CHARGES.
OVERSEAS BUYERS PLEASE DO NOT PAY ME UNTIL I SEND YOU AN EBAY INVOICE.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO PAY BEFORE YOU GET OUR INVOICE, YOU MAY BE PAYING MORE THAN NECESSARY, OR MAY UNDER PAY WHICH WILL COST US BOTH IN PAYPAL FEES FOR AN ADDITIONAL PAYMENT.
I will calculate shipping at the conclusion of the auction and WILL SEND YOU AN EBAY INVOICE with your total within 48 hours of the conclusion of the auction.
I ship only via the U. S. Post Office or FedEx Ground, as UPS is not convenient to me and I have experienced too many damaged items when shipping UPS. The buyer is responsible for the purchase of insurance for breakables shipped via the US Post Office.
MISCELLANEOUS
BID WITH CONFIDENCE AS I BELIEVE YOU WILL HAVE A FAVORABLE EBAY EXPERIENCE WHEN PARTICIPATING IN MY AUCTIONS. BUT, IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH YOUR ITEM WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT, I WILL DISCUSS A REFUND WITH YOU. <P> IF THE ITEM IS NOT AS DESCRIBED, UPON THE RETURN OF THE ITEM, I WILL ISSUE A FULL REFUND INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL POSTAGE AND INSURANCE, BUT THE BUYER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RETURN SHIPPING COSTS. IF A REFUND IS ISSUED FOR ANY OTHER REASON, ONLY THE ITEM PURCHASE AMOUNT WILL BE CREDITED AND YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING CHARGES.
PAYMENTS
I take money orders, cashiers checks, personal checks (I reserve the right to delay shipping items paid with personal check for 10 business days from date of receipt) or PayPal. Payment is expected within 5 days of close of auction, but I will gladly discuss extended payment schedules.
I will combine shipping on multiple auctions won, if possible. The only exceptions would be the combination of large lots such as sets of dinnerware, etc.
Thanks for looking, thanks for bidding and let's have fun!
