My prefered method of payment from UK buyers is cheque, direct bank transfer or postal order but paypal is accepted. For overseas buyers I accept paypal, euros, dollars, bank transfer or a check drawn in GBP sterling. I require payment within a week unless I have agreed otherwise..

                                                    IMPORTANT POSTAL INFORMATION -

                                                                 PLEASE READ...

  All shop items are sent by trackable shipping which has insurance cover for loss and most will require a signature on delivery.   This is in compliance with  the Paypal buyer protection policy.

  If you wish to accept the resposibility for non trackable shipping to save money ( £5 in most Royal Mail services )  Please state this in an Ebay Message to me..

Surface mail is no longer an option for International Paypal buyers.

Please don't be put off by these terms. In 8000+ deliveries I have only lost a handful of parcels and all buyers got their money back. Hopefully my feedback speaks for itself, but I run a business and these terms are necessary.

  I pride myself in keeping my postage and packing costs as close to cost as I can and will where possible  combine postage costs for multiple purchases.   Each item is weighed and accurate postage displayed in the listing.

 If you pay by Paypal then you are covered by their "Buyer Protection" and in line with this I have to provide documented trackable shipping which includes cover for loss to comply with Paypal's buyer protection policy.. If you wish your item to be sent uninsured you may pay via another method but all risks are to be accepted by the buyer and only the standard compensation of up to £40.00 can be claimed.               

   Lost or damaged items - In the unlikely event of an item received damaged or being lost please email me. I will then make a claim on your behalf against the post office. I can claim only after 25 working days after posting and it can take up to 3 weeks for them to reply to the claim so please be patient. When we are refunded then you will be. No claim can be made for damaged china or glass (post office rules). Successful claims for loss will only reflect the value of the item as the post office will not refund postal charges. 

Overseas buyers are wholly responsible for any customs duty or local charges that may occur within their own country. 

  Most delivery delays are caused by your local Customs Inspections.

FEEDBACK  I will reply to any feedback given.  I want to make sure you are happy so automatically give feedback when it is received.  NON PAYING BIDDERS After 7 days I will send a reminder invoice . REFUNDS I do not claim to be an expert on any subject.  I try to describe all my items as accurately as possible.  They are however SOLD AS SEEN.  Please ask questions if you are unsure of anything BEFORE bidding .  RETURNS  I sell antique, vintage, preowned, secondhand, items.  Some might possibly have what I consider "wear" commensurate with age - slight surface blemishes, tarnishing, very small natural cracks in wood, very slight colour variations.  These may not be listed in the description.  Anything I feel is damage or a major detraction will be in the listing.  If you have any questions please ask them before you bid.  After the auction is too late. I hope my feedback speaks for itself and my honesty in these matters.

I HAVE BEEN RECYCLING AND DEALING IN ANTIQUES AND COLLECTABLES FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND I STILL DO NOT PROFESS TO BE ANY EXPERT ON ANYTHING I DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE AN ITEM AS I SEE IT. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POLITELY CORRECT MY DESCRIPTIONS THROUGH EBAY MESSAGES.

I am not an ebayer to generate aggravation for my self and do my very very best to avoid causing it to anybody. I take great care when packing all items whether its a 99p.item or £99 but please be realistic and use your imagination as to what could happen with delays in transit, customs etc.

PLEASE USE EBAY MESSAGES
