PLEASE READ ALL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS BELOW PRIOR TO PURCHASE OR MAKING AN OFFER:
The Condition Guide which I use to describe most vintage items:
Mint
in Box: Nothing wrong with the item, never been used, and in original box.
Mint: Nothing wrong with the item and never been used.
Excellent EUC: Very little wrong with the item if anything at all, no visible
problems, excellent used condition.
Very Good VGUC: Very little wrong with the item, in very good condition, maybe
a little dusty or has a minor problem.
Good GUC: Item has been loved, a little messy, possibly dusty but still good
for any collection.
Poor/OK: Item has been used, washed, scratched, broken or marks/spots which I
will do my best to identify.
Best Offer... Although
one major retailer has the world convinced that “free” shipping is literally
free, it is not. Someone always pays and
often times it is quite expensive. My
prices which include “free” shipping in most cases, have shipping costs
factored in to the purchase price.
Before making an unreasonable offer and wasting everyone’s time, please
consider where you are located compared to PA and whether or not your offer
will even cover the shipping. Most of my
items are priced at the most reasonable price which I can ship to CA, OR, AZ,
WA, and TX and still make a profit. I
base my prices off of what I have into any given item, eBay and PayPal fees,
most recent sold listings, the rarity of an item and shipping costs. If you live closer and the shipping will be
less, then I will factor that into my best offer decisions.
Shipping… I ship
items same day to 1 day after payment is received. I insure most items for shipping and in the event
that something is damaged, keep the item and the packaging and let me know ASAP
to resolve. You may open a “return” case
if it eases your mind, but in general that just slows the process as it is NOT
necessary to return the item. Just let
me know and I will send you an email with more information.
International Shipping… I will ship internationally, but
only using the Global Shipping.
I have no control over that pricing or system, so I cannot answer
questions regarding their quotes, sorry.
Also, I will NOT falsify the customs form, so please do not even ask.
The eBay system automatically fills out the form now in the shipping center and
I will not change it. So, what you pay and the fact that it is
“merchandise” is recorded. You may have to pay a high customs tax- be
aware.
Customer Satisfaction... Most of the items that I sell
are vintage, used and loved- they are RARELY going to be perfect. Even
though I try my best, and consider myself a detail oriented person, I am still
human and have found myself looking at something a second or third time and
finding a problem that I had not noticed before. Also, you may consider something a problem
that I have not even considered as a defect.
So, please ask all pertinent questions prior to bidding. If you receive something and are not
satisfied, please contact me and I will do my best to resolve the issue. Also,
sometimes shipping mishaps occur. PLEASE
DON’T freak out and DON’T leave feedback BEFORE contacting me. Simply contact me if something is
broken and I will resolve it. If
you are happy with your purchase, please leave positive feedback. I will always strive for 100% feedback
so please try to be reasonable and I will do my best to make you happy.
Payment…PayPal is the only form of payment allowed
by eBay. PayPal is a confirmed address
site. Please make sure that your shipping address is correct and current
within both eBay and PayPal systems. I
cannot be responsible for re-shipping items to the correct address and I will
not override/change the address on the label.
If payment is not received within 2 days, I have my account set to open
an automatic unpaid item case. If you find
yourself with some delay or problem with paying, contact me. An open case
does not affect your buyer ratings as long as you pay within the appropriate
time frames.
Sales Tax for PA Residents... If you are a resident
of PA, you are required to pay sales tax of 6% on any eligible sales, excluding
clothing items. Please note that in accordance with the law you must be notified
that sales tax is factored in to the BIN prices and will be paid to the State
by me. The sales tax prompt below is not turned on and you will not be
charged additionally.
Toy and lead paint warnings… Anything I sell is not to
be eaten. These items are
meant to be collectible items. They
have not been tested for lead paint according to my knowledge, so don’t let
children or pregnant women eat them. I
have not had any problems with this personally, but so many sellers have this
type of disclaimer that I thought it is probably a good idea to stress these
points because the government and lawyers think we are all morons and I don’t
need to be sued.
