ABOUT THE SELLER:

I have been on eBay for nearly 23 years and have NEVER had a neutral or negative feedback – something I am very proud of! I am not a store or business using eBay as a means of expanding my market. I simply enjoy buying and selling on eBay, and find it to be an enjoyable hobby during retirement.

PAYMENTS:

All payments are through the eBay Managed Payments System

SHIPPING:

All my items ship within 24 hours of received payment through the United States Post Office. I never charge a dime extra for shipping! I pack the item prior to posting and the shipping charge you see on the page is calculated from the exact measurements and weight of the item! If an alternative shipping method is available that can help someone save money on their transaction (e.g., UPS, FedEx, etc.), let me know your preferred method and I will see if I can ship without issue
