PAYMENT, PACKING, SHIPPING
Breakables will be insured and securely wrapped for safe shipping. You can be confident that your items will be packed with care.
You’re welcome to make an offer. For items listed with ‘free shipping’ keep in mind the closer the ‘ship to’ address is the more room there is to negotiate. I as a seller have to pay those shipping charges - they aren’t free to me. The farther away an item is shipped the higher my actual shipping charges are.
Payment is expected as soon as the item is sold. Unpaid item cases are opened automatically if no payment is received.
When you purchase more than one item at a time feel free to eBay message me to see if they can be shipped together for a lower shipping rate. Sometimes they can and sometimes they can’t.
NO Local pick-ups.
Using reclaimed boxes and packing materials in addition to new materials when securely packing your items is a small step toward environmental friendliness. I take great care in packing items to ensure they arrive to you intact.
Box sizes and weights for bulky, large, or odd-sized items are best estimates at time of listing and actual box sizes and weights may vary slightly at time of sale because of needing to make or cut down a box, or combine two or more boxes to fit item sold.
As a seller I use a ‘shipping calculator’ tool eBay provides when ESTIMATING shipping costs before I list an item. When you as a buyer want to ESTIMATE shipping costs you click on “Shipping and Payments” in the listing. Unfortunately for both of us these two numbers are often not the same. Both figures are only ESTIMATES. I have seen as much as difference! At one point I even contacted eBay and had them enter the same box size and weight as I did and THEY got the same difference in costs! The ACTUAL shipping isn’t calculated until the item is sold. Also know that the cost of shipping includes not only the postage but costs of packing materials, insurance, and signature confirmation where applicable. Please don’t get upset when the listed shipping cost is not the same figure you get. Feel free to contact me with questions. Shipping charge is based on those best estimates of box size and weight, shipping materials (packing peanuts, bubble wrap, foam, box, tape, etc.), insurance, and signature confirmation where applicable. Some items require very little or no packing material and others require mountains of it to keep the item(s) from breaking during shipping. I can't be responsible for neglect by shipping couriers.
Items are usually sent within one (1) business day of receiving confirmation of payment (excluding weekends and holidays). If an item has been sent the next business day after receiving confirmation of payment and it arrives later than stated that is not within the seller’s control. Please call eBay to address that issue.
USA buyers only. I only sell and ship to those whose address, account, and bank are within the Continental USA.
Please make sure your address is a ‘mailable’ address. I only sell and ship to a verified address. Meaning addresses considered ‘mailable’ at USPS.com – Click on ‘Mail & Ship’ then ‘Look up a ZIP Code’. If your address is not ‘mailable’ or if there is another address within the Continental USA you would like this item shipped to please update/change and/or add the shipping address to your authorized addresses in your account BEFORE purchasing.
I cannot be responsible if you have given an incorrect address. If your invoice address is not the same as your shipping address your order will be canceled. Shipping rates are determined based on your invoice address and could be substantially more if you give a shipping address in another state than your invoice address.
I do NOT accept an email to change a shipping address.
When free shipping is offered I will choose the shipping method. If you have a preferred way of shipping you may specify but you will be responsible to pay the difference in cost.
Expect delays for shipments during Holidays or inclement weather conditions.
For any non-free shipping item you may always specify MORE COSTLY shipping services but you will be responsible to pay the difference in cost. Please contact me BEFORE YOU PURCHASE if you’d like this option.
You’ll be sent a Tracking Number as soon as your item’s package label is printed, which isn’t until after the item has been paid for.
If you purchase an item from me and your payment fails to go through you will be blocked from further purchases with me. That unfairly takes our item off the market when other potential buyers may like to purchase it and it wastes my time and the time of other potential buyers.
TERMS, CONDITIONS and RETURNS
T
he items that I handle are almost all pre-owned so I have a limited or no knowledge of their prior use. They may have imperfections, wear, minor damage, sometimes odors (as I cannot guarantee that the item has never been exposed to cigarette smoke, perfumes, or pets). Everyone has their own level of sensitivity. I strive to accurately photograph and honestly describe all of my items, mentioning both positive and any negative aspects, including every scratch, wear area, rust spot, etc., but being human I may unintentionally miss something. I do my best to note any damage or odors I detect. I am not an expert on any of these items and so learn something new every day. I’m more than happy to provide additional photos or answer any questions you may have. Some open box items show signs of storage and handling.
Many items are also posted on local internet websites and subject to immediate sale.
Only what is in the description and the pictures is included. Pictures are an important part of the description. It’s your responsibility to read the description & look at all the pictures before bidding or purchasing. Please note that colors can vary by phone, computer screen, and human eye.
Please be aware there is always a risk involved when purchasing anything in used or pre-owned condition. As such I make absolutely no guarantee as to how long this item or any components within this item will continue to function after purchase.  In addition, while I make my best effort to have all items tested thoroughly, there may be problems or defects that were not discovered during the testing process.
All sales are final and everything is sold “AS IS”.
Because of the fragile nature of many of the items, I do not accept returns unless there is a listing error, omission, or misrepresentation of the item. If you receive an item and it is not what you expected, please contact me through eBay Messages within 72 hours from date/time of receipt so I can correct the situation. Please do not return item before contacting me. A refund will only be issued if the item is grossly misrepresented. In that unlikely event, you must contact me through eBay messaging within 3 days from the day you receive your item. (If there is an issue with your item, please contact me before leaving feedback). If I noted anywhere in the listing/description that there is no power cord(s) included, that there are defects, or etc., I will not refund your money if you have issue with these. It is your responsibility to read the listing and look at the pictures before purchasing. If you changed your mind or do not like the color, No Refund. Refunds will not be made for insured items damaged in transit. In those cases a claim must be filed with the insurer. I pack my items very carefully but if the item gets damaged on its way, the buyer should send the broken item back with all pieces and pay shipping cost for a full refund. If there are missing pieces I am not issuing a full refund. Buyer is responsible for the returned items while in transit.
Due to the actions of a few dishonest people I will be tagging my electronics and some other items with tamper-proof labels. If the label is removed or shows signs of an attempt to remove it or is destroyed in any way and/or the buyer does a switch and returns an item not belonging to me, I will report the buyer to the authorities and eBay for fraud and will not honor the refund. Keep in mind that sending such an item through the USPS is considered mail fraud and will be prosecuted as a federal crime.
Due to experience with a few dishonest members on eBay, all stages of the packing and shipping process will be entirely video recorded, including the tamper-proof label, to prove that the parcel contains all parts described in the listing and is/are exactly as described and listed or should an insurance claim be necessary.
After contacting me the item must be returned within 7 days after the sale ends the same way and in same condition as when delivered or no refund will be issued, unless the seller and buyer have worked out some other arrangement. I have applied many levels of security measures for all listings. Please do not remove any tags or wash the item. I take pictures and/or video of returned items – the packaging and as they’re being opened, to insure the item returned is the same item that was sent.
Shipping both ways is to be paid by the Buyer. If the item was sent with free shipping paid by the seller the shipping portion of the total amount will not be refunded.
Due to PayPal policy change, a 4% RESTOCKING FEE will apply and be deducted from the total amount paid for the order (including shipping) if the order is canceled.
Refunds will be made to buyer's account once the item is back in my possession in the same condition w/ all parts as it was sent and with the same packing and in the same box in which it was sent.
I will work with you toward a mutually agreed solution if you have an issue with my merchandise.
Please feel free to contact me through eBay Message if you require additional information, have any questions, comments, inquiries about any items or terms, or to request additional pictures prior to purchase. I'll do my best to give you a speedy reply, but because I may not see your e-mail until late in the day please don't wait until the last minute to contact me. Your questions should be sent at least 24 hours before a listing ends to ensure a timely reply.
FEEDBACK
Feel free to check my EXCELLENT feedback.
As all eBay sellers do, I take feedback and therefore customer satisfaction very seriously. I strive to provide you with a positive experience. I want to sell my merchandise fairly. YOUR SATISFACTION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. I want you to be happy with your purchase.
The key to success in transactions is communication. Feel free to ask any questions or to contact me for any reason. Go to the item that you purchased and click ‘Contact Seller’. Then click “I have a question about using my item” or “I want to send the seller a message”.
If you are satisfied with your order, please leave positive five-star feedback for the five-star product and service I strive to deliver at which time I will also provide feedback. If you are not 100% satisfied, PLEASE CONTACT ME RIGHT AWAY by sending a message through eBay messaging
BEFORE
LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OR OPENING A CASE IN THE EBAY RESOLUTION CENTER and allow me the opportunity to resolve any problems/issues relating to your order. I will do my best to immediately work out a solution for both of us. If you have ANY reason not to leave me 5 stars and positive feedback please leave that area blank rather than marking any stars with low marks. Those who give negative or neutral feedback without careful and sincere analysis of the situation and communication with me need to realize that they will be blocked from bidding in the future because neutral and negative feedback and low star ratings are very damaging to an eBay account. Most people are not aware that the star performance is where eBay decides to give sellers discounts on fees (like shipping, which we pass on to you!) and items are placed higher in the searches.
I leave feedback after feedback has been left by the buyer.
Feedback is vital for both the Seller and the Buyer, so please leave feedback as soon as you get and inspect your item.
