The Conditions
This is an auction; it is not a Buy It Now (BIN) listing.
If you want a BIN, add 30% onto the auction price. This will require a re-listing and may expose the item to other bidders. If this isn’t possible, eg: I can’t get to Post Office in time, I will let you know.
If your question(s) relate(s) to:
(a) Discounts or deals on either price or shipping
(b) When is it getting posted?
(c) When will it arrive?
(d) Pick up facilities
(e) Cancellation of bid or win
the answer is right here. Please do not message these questions given the answers are below & for your benefit. If you do, please understand when I refer you back to this listing, or, in many cases, not reply at all.
Cell users, welcome, keep reading.
Shipping price is $11 (small Parcel Post satchel).
No letter rates.
I do not make money on shipping. If the invoiced shipping > the satchel cost, you will receive a refund of the excess at around the time of the tracking update. Even for small refunds. Lots of my buyers buy multiple items & pay multiple shipping upfront for convenience b/c they know I will refund them efficiently.
Shipping address can only be the one shown on ebay
Combined shipping MUSTS: Please advise which specific items you want combined. Advise before the earliest auction ends as long as all items end within 7 calendar days of each other.
Combined shipping payment: If you want combined shipping, do not pay for the items individually. Wait for the combined invoice. If you pay invoices individually, I will always refund the excess shipping soon after shipping when I do the tracking update.
Handling period: Every ebay listing discloses a handling time. That’s the BD from the time you pay to the time it is posted. Mine is 2 BD ending at midnight.
Has it been sent yet? Once the handling period has expired, check the ebay tracking field. You will see a tracking number, which means the parcel is on its way. Typically tracking is inserted by midnight on the day posted.
Tracking: All Parcel Post satchels are tracked with Aust Post. To review the progress of the item click on the tracking number in your Orders area. Aust Post also provides an estimated delivery time. Please ask about non arrival after the due date or at any time if the tracking shows a strange detour.
Express Post Please request this before the auction ends. Subject to being able to provide this to you, eg: being able to get to Post Office in time, I will issue the updated invoice so you can pay it. Handling period runs from time of the revised invoice payment, as usual. No shipping changes once an invoice is paid.
Discounts: Everyday low prices & low margins mean no discounts. This includes no volume discounts & no best price requests. Use “Best Offer” where available. No exceptions.
Offline requests: I do not discuss pricing via email. If the price you want isn’t available through the listing, then emails wont assist you.
Pick ups: No pick ups, no meet ups, no coffee.
Non payers: Failure to pay for items is a violation of the Abusive Buyer Policy. Non payment is reported, the item cancelled & the buyer blocked. This cancellation is recorded on the buyer's account. Buyers with excessive unpaid cancellations may have limits imposed by a seller or by eBay, or lose their buying privileges.
Retraction for wrong amount: Bid retraction due to “Entered wrong amount” requires entry of the correct amount. Misuse of this retraction will be reported & blocked. No exceptions.
Abuse of the returns process: Abusers of the returns process, will be reported & blocked. Change of mind masquerading as “not as described” = abuse of the returns process. Don’t. Go. There.
Exchange, credits or holds? Not available.
Faulty item? No discounts but please arrange a return & refund through the ebay claim system.
Communication: I don’t carry a cell phone around with me & I check into ebay probably once a day, late in the day. Happy Bidding!
