Silver Gold Mary and Jesus Icon Bought at the Monastery of Meteora Greece
Up for sale an extremely beautiful hand made icon which I personally bought about 20 years ago during a trip to the Greek Orthodox monasteries of Meteora, Greece. I paid $400 at the time of purchase, and upon checking current prices, it looks like nowadays similar icons sell for about 400 Euros.
It is made of pure silver and on the back there is a Certificate of Authenticity required by the Greek authorities at the border (to allow tourists to take the icon out of the country) that reads "Holy icon, copy of authentic Byzantine art, lithography, worked out by experienced craftsmen, on wood, with sheets of gold."
The icon itself weighs 2.14 lbs and, for a safe shipping, I will ship it only with signature on delivery.
If you need more information or
pictures before buying, please let me know before you buy/bid,
and I will gladly provide all the additional information/pictures you need. Please
check the pictures carefully and ask all your questions before buying
or bidding. Items are as described and Sales are final.

RETURNS
I
treat everybody with the
same consideration and respect I would want for myself. That is why I
go above and beyond to
carefully inspect every item I sell, and I spend a considerable amount
of time taking as many pictures as possible. It is my priority to make
my buyer happy, as well as to build a strong reputation as a seller on
ebay.
I do not accept returns
unless my item was grossly misrepresented, it does not match the listing
description, or I sent the wrong item, as well as under exceptional
circumstances explained by the buyer. I do not accept returns if you bought the wrong size, you did not pay attention to the item's measurements, pictures, or description. You must contact me within 7 days
after receiving the item and explain your exceptional circumstances.
As
of 2020, I am modifying my return policy. Many years of selling on ebay
and a few negative experiences with some dishonest buyers who buy items
on ebay, use them, and then request a return, force me to add the
following:
I do not
accept returns if you contact me weeks or months later (outside of the 7
days time frame). I
take pictures before shipping the item as proof that I sent the correct
item
for that particular shipping label. Do not cut, stain, use, and/or
damage the item and claim that's the way I sent it to you because I take
way more pictures than I upload for the listing, and I will probably
have a picture you would not expect and I will prove you are not telling
the truth.Unused and unopened products can be returned only with my authorization and return shipping will be paid by the buyer.
Shipping
and handling charges that I incurred to ship the order will be
deducted from the refund. I incur shipping and handling costs even when I
offer free shipping, so all such costs will be deducted from the
refund.
Returns are accepted with authorization only.
Please`read all auction carefully before purchase.By
making an offer, placing a bid and/or making a purchase you are
agreeing to all terms set forth in this listing and you are committing
to paying for the item.
If you need more information or
pictures before buying an item, please let me know before you buy/bid,
and I will gladly provide all the additional information/pictures you need. Please
check the pictures carefully and ask all your questions before buying
or bidding. Items are as described and Sales are final.
PAYMENT
PayPal is accepted as form of payment. International buyers please
pay in USD, I would be most appreciative.
Payment is due within 3 days.
If you are experiencing difficulties paying within that time frame,
please email me before that limit.
Many thanks!
SHIPPING
As
a rule, I carefully package the item, and I ship within 3 business days
after payment is received. However I usually ship the next day in most
cases. Weekends and/or
holidays, as per ebay, are not considered "business days."
Free shipping applies only to buyers from the US.
I combine shipping.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Free shipping applies only to buyers from the US. International shipping will be calculated based on location.I ship internationally to all locations. Estimated arrival date and tracking information cannot be provided by the US Postal Services. Please check with your country's customs office to determine import duties, taxes and charges. These charges are not included in the item price.
FEEDBACK
I
strive very hard for positive feedback and a 5 star rating***** .
Please be a proactive ebayer and if you are unhappy
with your item, do contact me before leaving feedback. It is better for
both of us to work out a resolution before leaving me less than
positive feedback which will negatively impact my account.
