Shipping costs, including insurance are now included as part of the item cost and not shown separately. The opening bid or buy it now price now takes into consideration what it will cost me to ship this to you for "FREE" as well as the value of the item. Shipping is not free for me, I still have to pay for it so I have to include it as part of the overall cost of the item.
With
the new seller final value fees ebay is charging sellers on separate
line item shipping
costs, this pretty much forces sellers to offer "FREE" shipping or incur
a penalty fee if they keep the cost of shipping separate from the item.
As much as I dislike having to include shipping in the cost of the
item, I feel forced to do so.
For
auction style listings, keep in mind the price of the item at the end
of the auction is the total you will pay. No additional shipping costs
are added. If you live in PA, sales tax will be added to the total.
For
Fixed Price listings, Make
an offer and I will consider the offer you give me based on where you
live (your zip code) and how much it will cost me to ship it to you as
well as the value of the item you are making an offer on. Because
shipping costs vary greatly depending where you live in relation to me,
the closer you live to me, the better I might be able to do on price. I
have to include shipping costs at the highest rates for my customers on
the West Coast. I do know and understand that it will not cost as much
to ship if you live on the east coast.
As
the seller of this item, I reserve the right to ship this using my
choice of USPS Priority Mail, Parcel Post, or UPS. If you want a certain
method of shipping, please state that in any offer you might make on
the item.
I
ONLY SHIP TO THE ADDRESS SHOWN IN PAYPAL AS THE SHIP TO ADDRESS. PLEASE
DO NOT ASK ME TO SHIP TO AN ALTERNATE ADDRESS AFTER YOU HAVE MADE
PAYMENT WITH YOUR ADDRESS SHOWING AS THE SHIP TO ADDRESS. THIS WOULD
VOID ANY BUYER AND SELLER PROTECTION AGAINST FRAUDULENT PURCHASES. I DO SHIP TO
ALTERNATE ADDRESSES AS LONG AS YOU ENTER THE ADDRESS INTO PAYPAL AND
SELECT IT AS THE SHIP TO ADDRESS WHEN YOU ARE MAKING THE PAYMENT.
International Buyers
Shipping is NOT FREE
I
only ship International using Priority Mail. I DO NOT use First Class
because it does not provide tracking and there is no seller protection
against charge-backs for items that buyers indicate they did not
receive. Please do not email and ask me to ship first class mail.
International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
I do not consider myself an expert, but I have been buying and selling for about 10 years now and do have knowledge in several areas. Sometimes I do buy things that you know more about than I do. Even with research, sometimes I am not able to find as much information about an item as I would like. I am always happy to receive an email from "lookers" who are willing to share their knowledge.
Returns
Returns will be for the purchase price LESS the original shipping paid by the seller to ship to the buyer unless there is an error in the auction. Item must be returned in the same sent to condition, for factory sealed items, they must still be factory sealed as well.
