EBAY changed their policy around 12 months ago, and unfortunately they now charge commission on
Postage & Packing charges. For some time now, I have included these charges in the bid/purchase price
on most items. In order to offer a 'free' postage service, I request that customers share the risk if selecting
Standard post
For this item, the default postage service is set for 'Signed For', and stamps are sent with insurance cover
should they fail to turn up. This is suitable for items less than £50.
Selecting one of the more secure services, such as the Signed-For or Special Delivery service provides
cover , should your item not be received after 14 days (28 days for International Mail) have elapsed.
If this is the case, I will refund the purchase price or replace the item.
I want you to be happy with my service, and ideally wish you to receive your item in perfect condition.
For information, items sent by standard mail, Royal Mail Compensation is limited to a maximum of £20.
Compensation for The Signed-For service is also limited to a maximum of £50 but of course a signature
is obtained. Items which are rare, listed in the SG catalogue and valued above this figure, or which
I would find difficult to replace if lost, should be sent using the Special Delivery service.
Please think carefully before placing your order and select the most secure service fit for the item you are
buying. Sometimes I insist on one of the more secure services being used, mainly for more expensive or
hard to replace items.
INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE offers no guarantees/insurance unless you buy the International Signed or
Tracked Services. Stamps will be fully insured. I will always obtain a Proof of Posting for stamps sent by
Standard Airmail. In this case, if stamps are lost, it is your responsibility to claim.
Please note that these are Royal Mail charges for the secure services offered and not mine.
They have become essential because of the number of potential false claims levied against the
Royal Mail and to comply with EBAY and PAYPAL's 'Trackable Policies'.
