GRADING
– VERY GOOD
GRADING DEFINITIONS
Mint
– in an “as new” pristine condition
Excellent
– no obvious flaws, sharp corners, no visible marks, and
any writing or postmarks do not detract from the appearance of the
item
Very
Good – minor defects, such as light corner wear, light
album storage marks, light signs of age and handling that are not
seriously detrimental to the item
Good
– some small noticeable defects, such as small creases,
bends, marks, light postal ink and light indentations
Fair – obvious creasing, corner/edge damage, marks, postal ink, staining, indentations, and/or small tears
Poor
– serious damage, a gap filler item only
I
try to grade items honestly and fairly, but as this is a subjective
matter of opinion please view the scanned image carefully to make
your own appraisal of the item's condition.
In addition, as items have to be scanned, uploaded to ebay, then viewed on your device, the colours and/or brightness of the image may appear slightly different in reality to what you see on the screen.
NOTE:
small
marks/creases/flaws will not be individually listed – however, any
major damage or significant issues will always be mentioned in the
description.
POSTAGE
& PACKING
All
items
will be packed in protective packaging,
eg plastic
sleeves,
board-backed
"DO NOT BEND" envelopes,
etc.
When
buying multiple items, any special offers or combined shipping
discounts are valid only when items are ordered together, and cannot
be applied after payment is received. Please use the shopping
basket (click "add to basket") to qualify for any
discounts. If this is not working for some reason, please
contact me for assistance BEFORE purchase.
Occasionally
for efficiency reasons I may split larger orders into more than one
package, or combine separate orders to the same addressee into one
package.
Please
be aware that my
postage and packaging charges reflect the true cost of getting an
item to a customer, not just the price of a stamp, eg they include
the cost of packaging materials, ebay fees, petrol
to post office, courier
collection fees where applicable etc.
For non-UK
customers, I
always use the ebay Global Shipping Programme (GSP). Any
import charges, taxes etc are the responsibility of the customer.
Please check your local laws and regulations before
purchase.
PAYMENT
Ebay
electronic
payment methods only – I do not accept cheques, postal orders, etc.
Please
ensure that the correct delivery address is used when paying, as
delivery labels are printed out directly from ebay.
If
you have any questions or concerns at all please get in touch via
ebay messages.
