Selling my personal collection of singles.  Please do have a look at my photos, which are of the items for sale. You'll be able to see what kind of sleeve it comes in, and any stickers or damage on the labels. My notes below just talk about the playing surface.  I only consider condition of A-sides, generally.
I haven't often found Gene Vincent singles - it took me 50 years of collecting to find ten different ones. I was pleased to get them in whatever condition, as his hits were before my time, and I wanted to hear them. I don't remember ever finding second copies of any of them so no chance to upgrade. Some of mine are in rough-looking condition, so I've done play-tests, to see if they sound better than they look - which is often the case with old singles. 
Getting to specifics - 
Pistol Packin' Mama - not bad - a bit grey, some light scratches, plus a few heavier scratches and fingernail impressions. Play-test - plays very well, no problems
Rocky Road Blues - covered in scratches, several flat impacts. Play-test - some crackling, not especially loud, at start. Plays very well after that.
Bluejean Bop / Who Slapped John - A-side not bad, lots of scratches along the grooves, gray in parts - a few other short light scratches. Play-test - both sides have catch-grooves, caused by those sharp little scratches along the grooves. First side stops about 1/3 of the way through (during first guitar solo), second side stops about 3/4 of the way through. For guitar nuts (like me) you get a good bit of the first side solo, and a whole one on the second side.
Be-Bop-A-Lula - covered in light scratches, two long fingernail impressions, an impact in the first half. Play-test - moderate background crackling, reduces as play proceeds, doesn't fade away altogether. Still quite enjoyable.
She She Little Sheila - not too bad! A big scuff with light scratches in it, and two big marks, being stains or flat impacts. Lots of surface scratches. Play-test - first part has quite a loud once-per-rotation crackle, first half-minute or so. Corresponds with a noticeable big mark on first part. Otherwise excellent, very nice sound.
Race With The Devil - VG - some light scratches running around the grooves, a light flat impact, a very light scratch acrpooss first half. Play-test - Excellent, no problems, very clear.
My Heart / I've Got To Get You Yet - this has serious-looking warp, doesn't look playable. Included in this lot, at no extra cost. 
Baby Blue - covered in scratches, and some marks / flat impacts Play-test - quite loud crackling at the very start, only occasional crackling after that - good.
Wild Cat - covered in scratches, generally light. Play-test - quite heavy background crackling, continues all through the song. Nice vocal sound - not ruined, if you can stand some crackling! 
Roll Over Beethoven / Be-Bop-a-Lula / Say Mama - Beeb records, 1971 radio session - A-side looks very good, little marks and a very short scratch on the lead-in, and gong into the first music grooves. B-side - again, marks around the lead-in, I don't see any damage on the music grooves.
Nice low start price, due to the condition - see what you think of them.
Postage at cost within UK - £3.20.  One can send up to 2 kilos (which is a LOT of singles) for £3.20, so happy to do combined postage where practical - just within the UK. For UK buyers - if you buy several items on the same day, and you're looking for combined postage, don't pay, and message me to ask for an invoice that includes combined postage.
Dispatch will usually be "next day", if you pay promptly. My auctions end on Sundays, and I post on Monday afternoon. I only go out to post once a week, during the present pandemic, so if I receive payment after 13.00 Monday, parcel goes into the next Monday's posting.  Collection in person is usually welcome, but not when there are lockdown rules in effect, which forbid it.
I'm happy to send this overseas. See below for details, if bidding from outside UK - YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF.
I don't mail things personally, to countries outside the UK - ( I mean it, don't ask) - but I am happy to use E-Bay UK's Global Shipping Program, for sending things abroad. Under this scheme, I send the parcel to an e-bay depot in UK, and they forward it to the overseas buyer. They have a tracked courier service, for the journey from their UK depot, to the buyer. This means that I can ONLY accept payments through e-bay (Pay Now button), and I can't send invoices.
Please be sure that you understand what the postal charges and any customs charges / import duty will be, before bidding. 
E-Bay UK tells me, they do NOT do combined postage in the Global Shipping Programme. Charges to the customer for delivery and customs charges are whatever you're told they are - if you don't want to pay the postal / courier charges individually for the items, then do not bid. 
Overseas customers - please DON'T request an invoice - I can't make one, and it screws-up the e-bay system.
International buyers should be able to see a postage cost to their country, you may have to input your location, if your country is included in the scheme. If your country is not mentioned, please do not bid. International postage to the following countries will be shown (this is the latest list that I've seen - lotta countries!) Antigua and Barbuda, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Australia, United States, Bahrain, Canada, New Zealand, Israel, Hong Kong, Norway, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Korea, South, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Belize, Bermuda, Barbados, Brunei Darussalam, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Egypt, Guernsey, Gibraltar, Guadeloupe, Grenada, French Guiana, Iceland, Jersey, Jordan, Cambodia, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Liechtenstein, Sri Lanka, Macau, Monaco, Maldives, Montserrat, Martinique, Oman, Pakistan, Reunion, Turks and Caicos Islands, Aruba, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, Chile, Bahamas, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Kuwait, Panama, Qatar, El Salvador, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay
Applicable customs charges will be shown to buyers - E-Bay collects customs duty for the receiving country, wherever import duty is appropriate. If you don't want to pay the customs charges, do not bid. Since "Brexit", customs charges are likely between UK and EU countries.
I don't send to China (because I prefer not to), and I also don't send to Japan, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru, as importation of vinyl records is not permitted in their customs regulations.
