Hello and thank you for clicking on my auctions, and more importantly my auction description. Please read the following as it contains a lot of information about the products I sell, what you should expect from me as a seller, and what I expect from you as a buyer.
AVOID MULTIPLE SHIPPING CHARGES BY ADDING CARDS TO YOUR WWW.EBAY.COM SHOPPING CART. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO COMBINE ORDERS, EVEN IF YOU PAY FOR INDIVIDUAL SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES. THE REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE EACH TIME YOU CHECK OUT WITH PAYPAL I AM CHARGED .35 PER TRANSACTION. TO OFFSET THIS, I WILL BE COMBINING ALL ORDERS WITHOUT REFUNDING SHIPPING AND HANDLING IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE SHOPPING CART RULES.
Card Information You are bidding/purchasing the card in the title only. Sometimes I use stock photos for non serial numbered, non game used cards and sometimes the stock photos that I use have been erroneously added by another user. Unfortunately I do not know when/if these are wrong until I actually upload the card. So if the title and the photo do not match, please contact me to verify that the photo is correct. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ASSUME THAT YOU ARE GETTING AN AUTOGRAPHED/GAME USED CARD PICTURED IF THE ITEM TITLE IS CLEARLY STATED TO BE A BASE CARD. THIS GOES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ARE GETTING A PEPSI/COCA-COLA COLLECTORS PLATE OR CAR FOR $1.49. THIS IS A TRADING CARD, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
Stock Photos Like I said, I do use stock photos for non serial number, non game used/autograph cards. I try to scan all GU/Auto/serial numbered cards so you know what you are purchasing. But once again, if you have any questions about the card you will be receiving please contact me prior to purchasing and I will be happy to answer them. If I have multiples of a particular card I will scan one only and list multiples. If you purchase three of the same card, please do not assume you will be receiving three of the exact same serial numbered card.
Item Condition All cards that are listed are in at least Nr-Mt condition unless otherwise stated in the listing title. Once again, this is where stock photos are not beneficial. If the card is graded in the photo, but doesn't say graded in the title, you will not be receiving a graded card. If the card is listed as VG in the title but it looks like it is Gem Mint, especially for older cards, you will be receiving a VG card. I am not a professional grader, so therefore I may make some mistakes. In my opinion Nr-Mt cards can have one or two minor flaws that do not detract from the overall apperance of the card. I will not self grade a card higher than that. If you are looking for Gem Mint card, please purchase an already graded Gem Mint card. I have had people purchase Nr-Mt cards from me and send them in to BGS or PSA to get grades higher than 8.
Return Policy Returns are accepted. A 20% RESTOCKING FEE WILL APPLY TO ALL RETURNS THAT ARE NOT THE FAULT OF ME, THE SELLER. Buyer pays return shipping charges on all returns that are not the fault of me, the seller. Let's run through some scenarios that have happened recently. A buyer purchases card #4, and I ship out card #5. This is not the fault of the buyer, it is the fault of the seller. I will then accept the return without a restocking fee and I will refund the postage to get the card back to me. This is the only scenario where I will waive a restocking fee. If you purchase a card from me and, once you receive it, you don't want it anymore, a restocking fee will be applied, NO EXCEPTIONS
Cancellation Policy Cancellations are accepted as well. Look I get it, sometimes we all purchase something that we can't afford, already have, or simply do not want. But please be honest and up front. First off, DO NOT PAY FOR THE ITEM. If you pay for an item, and then want to cancel the transaction, I will require a 20% restocking fee to recoup fees that Ebay will charge. Secondly, please shoot me a message and say that you changed your mind. No harm no foul. DO NOT MESSAGE ME WITH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING "Hey man, my kid bid on this can you please cancel it?" Your "kid" knowing/using your eBay user ID/password is not my fault, and once I start the cancellation process, it requires you to do your part and approve the cancellation request. You have alread proved that you are incapeable of monitoring your ebay account. Instead of a cancellation, I will be filing a non paying bidder case against you. This requires no effort on your part and will be closed after three days. Another one of my favorites is, "I accidentaly purchased this card on my phone". If you can "accidentaly" purchase an item with two clicks, congrats. Once again, I will be more than happy to open up a non paying bidder case against you since it would require you to be in control of your eBay account to cancel a purchase. Be up front and honest and we will be able to get along. If you want to cancel a transaction please complete your part once I have approved the cancellation request. Failure to complete the cancellation request on your end will result in a non paying bidder warning filed against you.
Promotional Discounts To qualify for promotional discounts please add all items to your shopping cart. This will allow you to get the promotional pricing. International buyers, if you are having issues adding them to your shopping cart, please purchase the cards individually without paying for them and I will modify the shipping and handling price to offset the fact you didn't receive the discount. If you purchase enough cards to qualify for the discount, but you paid for them individually, there is nothing I can do unfortunately. This is due to Ebay fees. I am sorry about this. Add to the cart and everything will be fine. :)
Shipping and Handling I know shipping and handling are an expensive part of collecting and I am trying my best to make shipping and handling affordable. International mail shipping from the US is really expensive. That is why my shipping and handling prices are expensive. Please give me a chance to combine shipping and handling. I understand that eBay's shopping cart will not allow combined shipping rates. Please purchase the cards individually without paying for them. This will allow me to combine shipping and handling. ANY SHIPPING REFUNDS WILL BE AT MY DISCRETION. PLEASE ALLOW ME TIME TO COMBINE PURCHASES. IF I DO REFUND ANY OVERAGE IN SHIPPING AND HANDLING, IT WILL BE 20% LESS DUE TO THE FACT THAT EBAY CHARGES ME A PERCENTAGE ON SHIPPING AND HANDLING. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SHIP MULTIPLE CARDS IN ONE PACKAGE IF CARDS ARE PURCHASED ON THE SAME DAY. I am offering multiple shipping options, both domestic and international, so please select your service carefully:
UNITED STATES ECONOMY OPTION If you choose this option, up to FIVE standard sized cards will be shipped in semi-rigid card holder with tape over the opening to prevent the card(s) from falling out during the shipping process. These cards will then be shipped in a plain white envelope. I have sent 1000s of cards out like this with very few problems. The shipping and handling price for this option will be $.79 for the first card and $.25 for each additional card. I will cap shipping at $3.00 ON ALL SHOPPING CART ORDERS. This means that if you buy 20 cards and you use the shopping cart to check out, and pay $5.54 for shipping, I will refund you $2.54 for shipping, no need to ask. All orders over six (6) cards will be shipped in a padded envelope.
UNITED STATES FIRST CLASS MAIL PACKAGE OPTION If you choose this option, the card(s) will be shipped in a padded envelope. The shipping and handling price will be $3.00 flat rate no matter how many cards you purchase. If you select this option at checkout, use the SHOPPING CART and it charges you shipping and handling over $3.00 for multiple cards, I will refund the overage. Please select this option if you want your card packaged in a padded mailer.
UNITED STATES PRIORITY MAIL OPTION If you choose this option, the card(s) will be shipped in a priority mail box. The shipping and handling price will be $10.00 flat rate no matter how many cards you purchase. Please select this option if you need the card in three days.
INTERNATIONAL FIRST CLASS MAIL PACKAGE Any order over 3 cards will be shipped in a padded mailer. This service can cost up to $9.60 to Canada and $13.20 overseas, so please keep that in mind when you are buying multiple cards.
INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY MAIL OPTION This option is available upon request. Please contact me for a price quote.
Please contact me if you have any questions before purchasing. My return policy states that I do charge a 20% restocking fee on all returns...NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
