Returns
Unless the item you receive is considerably different from the description of the item you bid on, all sales are final. Please contact us before returning any item you consider "considerably different". Such items will be accepted for refund at our discretion only within 7 days of your receipt of the item. Item must be returned in original condition and in original packaging. Please note that we rarely sell brand new items. This means that even if something is described as "mint" or "excellent" you may find upon close inspection, tiny imperfections or evidence of use. I will not make full or partial refunds for minor insubstantial imperfections. If you insist on only items in factory new condition, you should purchase them directly from a licensed retail store. Unless we should ship the wrong item (i.e. a doll instead of a blanket), shipping fees are never refunded.

A WORD FROM    tip-top.deal

It's sad but many people on eBay do not read anything in a listing!

PLEASE BE A SMART BIDDER

Read the listing and the information provided
Ask questions before you bid not after
Do not bid more than you want to spend
Know the shipping costs and keep them in mind when bidding
Make sure you look at the pictures of the item, a picture is worth 1000 words

If you follow these simple suggestions you will find that eBay is GREAT!

EBay is intended to be a fun and safe forum for the easy sale and exchange of all kinds of items. I enjoy meeting and chatting with folks through eBay and it adds a great deal of fun and satisfaction in my life.  Let's not ruin it by being petty or abusive.
