Disclaimer:  I attempt to describe items as honestly, and in as much detail, as I can. Unless stated otherwise, assume merchandise is used. All items are sold “as is”, new or used.

Shipping and Handling:  The U. S. Postal Service is used unless stated otherwise. Combined shipping is used whenever possible. Sometimes, items are prepackaged and are not easily combined. Buyer assumes responsibility for uninsured items. There is a modest $1-$2 handling fee charged for the first item, which only helps to cover all the various expenses involved in running an eBay store (purchasing stock, shipping materials, advertising, etc). An additional $1 handling fee will be added for each additional item. International orders will be shipped Priority Mail International or First Class Mail International. NOTE: The above S&H policies do not apply to Music, Books, DVD’s, Movies or Video Games, as those shipping fees are now being regulated by eBay.

Insurance:   If you would like to insure your purchase, just let me know before you pay. Uninsured items are the buyer's responsibility.

Invoicing:  Accepted payments are Paypal or credit cards linked to Paypal. Multiple purchases will be invoiced together for purchases within a 5 day period. If you are interested in items beyond 5 days, please ask before bidding.  If you check out before receiving an invoice (multiple purchasers only) the S&H may not reflect a discount.

Refunds: All sales are final unless you receive the wrong merchandise, or misrepresented merchandise. In that case, I will bear all costs involved. If a refund should be granted for any other reason, it will not include shipping and handling fees.  Please ask before bidding or buying. If necessary, additional pictures may be e-mailed to answer questions.

Feedback:  Feedback is the lifeblood of eBay. It is how we judge, reward and punish each other in a public forum. As both a buyer and seller, I have often been disappointed with a deal through no fault of either party. On my end, positive feedback will always be left for a courteous, prompt paying buyer (even if the buyer has been difficult to deal with). I expect the same if I am a courteous, prompt shipping seller (even if the merchandise isn’t exactly what you may have expected). I’m very proud of my 100% positive selling record and work hard to maintain it. My thanks to those folks who left positive messages, even when things didn’t work out the way we would have preferred.
