It's taken 3 years-plus to sell the LPs and big singles from my large collection - so now we come to 7" singles. I sold the bulk of my singles during first lock-down, in big lots, but kept back the ones that had an individual value, and also my collections of my favorite artists - Beatles, Stones, The Who, Chuck Berry, etc. etc. What's coming-up, in the coming weeks, is the best ones, out of a collection of thousands. 
Pictures are my own photos of the item for sale. Photos can tell you what kind of sleeve the single will come in, and what the labels are like.
I give the records a gentle clean, before listing them - which means I can see any damage, and it makes them sound better - if old singles sound bad, it's often dirt down in the grooves that is the problem. 
I generally only assess condition of the A-side of the records. I make more of an effort sometimes, on EPs or if it's got a famous B-side.
Jerry Lee - one of the great original Fifties rock-and-rollers. I collected original issue singles of his in whatever condition, if I happened to see one, but also got his songs on re-issues, which tended to be less worn.
Rockin' My Life Away - UK copy, pic sleeve - 1979. Still good in 1979! - excellent condition.
Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On - UK London tri-centre - good, a few marks, plus a light scrape on first half. Small sticker on label.
Great Balls Of Fire - Mercury, 1964 - good, a few light scratches, and a short sharper one running along the grooves.
To Make Love Sweeter For You - Mercury 1968 - lots of light scratches, a heavier scrape on second half.
Break-Up - London tri-centre, one prong broken - shows wear and some scratches, especially at the start. 
I've Been Twistin' - 1962 UK London - very good - a very short fingernail mark half-way across.
Good Golly Miss Molly - UK London 1963 - no centre - very good, just some surface marks.
Breathless - UK London 4-prong - good, a few light scratches, and a shortish fingernail impact in second half.
High School Confidential - London tri-centre - some heavy scratches, a scrape right across, plus light scratches and scuffing all-over, plus some little sharp impacts. Looks rough.
Baby Baby Bye Bye - UK London 1960 - not bad, but some scuffing and small impacts.
Let's Talk About Us - UK London 1959 - lots of short lightish scratches on the lead-in, going on into the start of the music grooves. Some scuffing - pretty good after the start. 
What'D I Say - London 1960 - sticker on label - good - a few light scratches and marks.
Old Black Joe - Charly records - looks excellent. 
Lovin' Up A Storm - London UK tri-centre (one prong  broken) - scratches around the edges, and heat damage on part of the edge. Doesn't look promising.
Great Balls Of Fire - UK London tri-centre - letters in pencil on label - wear and scuffing all over, lots of light scratches, two long-ish fingernail impressions.  
Good Golly Miss Molly - Sun "Golden Treasure" re-issue - excellent, a sticker on the label.
Breathless - Sun "Golden Treasure" re-issue - has some rather heavy broad marks running around the grooves.
Chantilly Lace - Mercury label, from USA - looks excellent, a sticker on the label.
Great Balls Of Fire / High School Confidential - Sun / Collectables - A-side looks excellent. B-side has a pair of short fingernail impressions in first part.
When I'm checking for damage on records, I look at them carefully with my reading glasses on, in good daylight. This method detects any bits of damage that will affect what you hear when listening to it - and lots that are not audible. Using a spotlight or direct sunlight shows more surfacey marks sometimes, but I don't do that - records are for listening to, not trying to see your face in.
Postage at cost within UK - £3.20.  One can send up to 2 kilos (which is a LOT of singles) for £3.20. 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.
