Condition 

Please use the calculator provided by eBay.

Pickup (from Cannon Hill) is not available in current conditions. Contact me to check before bidding or paying if you want more details.

Postage costs can be combined on multiple items. Note that the eBay calculator for multiple purchases isn't very flexible. If you are planning to buy more than one item, contact me if you want a good postage estimate.

If using PayPal, the item must be sent with proof of postage as per PayPal requirements. This is included in all the postage options in the calculator for each listing.

For PayPal payments, the item(s) must be sent to the address in the PayPal notification email that I receive. If you want it sent somewhere other than your “default” address, you’ll need to change this on the way through the payment process.

See my “About me” page for details of how my shipping costs are determined.

Payment

You can pay by

• direct deposit via Internet transfer, 
• PayPal,
• PayPal eCheque  (but we'll have to wait until it clears before shipping - usually takes just over a week),
• cheque on an Australian bank (but we'll have to wait until it clears before shipping - usually takes a week, even for bank cheques),
• Australian Money order,
• Australia Post COD (Australia only – buyer must have eBay rating >10 – buyer pays all fees) (not for fixed postage)
• cash on pick up locally (Brisbane)

or any other method agreeable to both of us. Any payment method must be in Australian dollars, negotiable in Australia.

This is a private sale, so no GST is involved.

General conditions

International buyers are responsible for any customs duty, etc. I'll describe the item and price accurately on the customs declaration. You'll also need to confirm, before you bid, that the item is permitted to be imported.

Due to some bad experiences, I have had to block bidders from a couple of countries. If you find yourself in this situation, and you're serious, contact me and, if your rating is OK, I'll make the appropriate arrangement so you can bid.

I always leave feedback.

Any questions, please contact me via this site.

OK ….. here’s the deal ….

What do I expect from you?

If you buy the item, I expect you to contact me within 3 days and arrange to pay within 7 days. I need you to provide me with a correct address for me to send the item. When you get the item and you’re happy with it, I’d appreciate feedback on the eBay site.

What can you expect from me?

I value my eBay rating and I have every intention of providing good value for you. I recognize that you’ve only seen a photo and read my description of the stuff you’re buying. I’m sure there are odd cases where I have omitted to put in something that you may consider important but I’ve just forgotten or maybe didn’t realize was important. You’ll only find this out when you get the stuff.

If there is some unforeseen discrepancy between what you’ve expected and what you get, I’ll usually refund your money. If it’s obviously my fault, I’ll also refund your postage. If it’s worthwhile, I’ll also pay for you to send it back. Note that this only applies to “unforeseen discrepancies”, i.e. it doesn’t cover things that were in the item description, or could be seen in the photo.

I’ll leave feedback on the eBay site for you. If all goes as well as it nearly always does, it will be positive. If someone doesn’t pay I will use the eBay Unpaid Item process and, if it goes to completion without payment, you may receive an Unpaid item Strike which could affect your ability to buy stuff on eBay.

Shipping costs and details

The following applies unless I have specified shipping costs as being fixed (usually only within Australia). eBay will calculate the postage based on my measurements of weight and size of the parcel. This will be based on best estimates. Sometimes, when I get to the Post Office, they’ll charge me slightly more or less. If it’s more, I’ll wear it. If it’s less, I’ll offer you a refund if the difference makes this worthwhile (usually if it's above about $2).

I'll try to get the best pricing for postage (on your behalf) and that may sometimes mean that I need to slightly deface the packing (box, etc) of the item, for example by putting packing tape or an address label on it. If you want to keep the packing looking as pristine as possible (for example, if you plan to resell it, or give it as a gift), please tell me when you buy it and I'll pack it differently. Packing or postage costs may be slightly different in this case. Again, please ask first if this is likely to be a problem.
