Thankfully,
we seem to be seeing the late innings of the Pandemic. I’m glad to say that my parcels are moving
along much better, even in the last few weeks.
With that being said, there are occasional delays and would ask buyers
to be patient as their items work their way through the system. Obviously, once parcels are dropped off at
USPS there isn’t a whole lot I can do. If
you are one who wants to complain about the occasional delays, PLEASE DO NOT BUY. I would stress that things are much better
than even a month or two ago, so I remain hopeful that buyers get their items
in acceptable time periods. I typically
ship twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays.
Please
review the pic for condition. There are no returns so please be happy with the
cards and buy when you are absolutely sure you want the cards. Thanks for
looking!
SHIPPING: shipping
costs are NOT just postage. They include
postage, insurance (as the packages get over $50 I add Shipcover on First Class
shipments, and USPS insurance on Priority shipments), bubble mailers, boxes, ebay
invoice costs (ebay also takes 12% of shipping total), labels and packing materials. My shipping total for each item will reflect
these costs and, in many instances, I lose money. However, if you still disagree with how I arrived
at the shipping total PLEASE DO NOT BUY.
Most buyers are decent and understanding, however there are a terrible few
who want to re-litigate shipping AFTER they agreed to my terms, receive a great
card, and I did everything as promised on my end. That is not acceptable and those buyers will be
blocked from future purchases.
COMBINED SHIPPING:
Combined shipping is available at 1.50 for each addl item. Whether you combine with a large card lot, or
a very expensive card, or a cheap PWE card.
Each item will be combined at 1.50 regardless. This makes it easy to pay right away and less
confusing for buyer. Sometimes I benefit,
many times I lose. Let’s not argue about
nickels and dimes. If you disagree, I understand, but PLEASE DO NOT BUY. IF YOU ARE PURCHASING A CARD WITH THE EBAY
AUTHENTICY BADGE, IT ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH ANYTHING. THEY MUST BE SENT INDIVIDUALLY (I do not control
this)
YOU MUST WAIT FOR A COMBINED INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. If buyer pays before receiving invoice, I will not refund any shipping totals. Too time consuming (if it has not been automatically done).
FEEDBACK: I always appreciate if the buyer takes a few
moments and leaves positive feedback. eBay
makes it quite easy to do so. I will ALWAYS
reciprocate, usually within 24 hours. Unfortunately,
I used to leave positive feedback first and it was only reciprocated by the buyer
at a 10-15% clip. Buyers cannot get “negatives”
and frankly, eBay is driven by seller feedback. Most buyers understand this once is explained
(which is why I have added this feedback section). I am receiving feedback at 40-50% of
completed sales. Hopefully this
explanation will increase my percentage further.
If buying a graded card: these might have some light scratches
here and there on the cases. in my opinion they do not detract from the cards
in any way, but I want to be up front. Grading Companies did not always do
a good job shipping these to folks in my opinion and usually arrived with scratches
right out of the box. Nor, did some
previous sellers in storing/shipping.
