As from September 4th 2013, ebay have decided that they are no longer content to charge commission only on the final sale price, but also on the postage and packing charge, so unfortunately I have had to raise these charges by the same percentage. If and when ebay reverse this policy, my shipping charges will be reduced by 10%.
I am disposing of my extensive collection of badges and patches, which I built up mostly at concerts in the 1970s and 1980s. The majority are rock and heavy metal, but there are a few of other genres. I will also be listing a few T shirts and magazines (Kerrang!, NME, Sounds, etc.), plus concert programmes and related items, so please keep watching my listings. I have made every effort to keep all my items in excellent condition (although this has not always been possible with the paper items), so the vast majority are as new or nearly so.
This woven sew-on patch measures approximately 3 inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm.) across, and is in excellent unworn condition. I purchased it at a concert at the Apollo in Manchester in about 1978, and it has been kept carefully in a drawer ever since, so there are no marks or damage at all.
I am also currently selling several similar items, so please check my other listings.
Payment accepted in sterling by cheque, postal order or International Money Order. Please note that Canadian or US Money Orders in USD cannot be cashed in England; only International Money Orders made out in Pounds Sterling are acceptable. British banks are no longer accepting Eurocheques.
If you would like to pay by PayPal or ebay managed payments, please read the following SLOWLY and CAREFULLY:
EBAY MANAGED OR PAYPAL PAYMENTS:
I reserve the right to ship only to confirmed ebay/PayPal addresses, which must in each case match the address notified to me by ebay at the time of sale.
The carriage quoted includes insurance. This is to comply with with ebay/PayPal's Seller Protection Policy. Details of this, and ebay/PayPal’s other policies, can be found on the ebay website. If you would like to pay by ebay managed payments or PayPal, please make sure that you are thoroughly familiar with all of ebay and PayPal's terms and conditions.
For overseas purchases, International Signed at an additional cost of £5 has been included in the shipping amount. This gives cover up to £50.
Only one insurance fee per consignment is charged, so there would be savings if more than one purchase were to be combined.
I realise that insured shipping is not always cost-effective on items of low value, and so I used to offer shipping without insurance, at buyer's own risk, which many customers welcomed, as it was much cheaper, but since 22 September 2009, ebay have removed the ability of the buyer to choose insurance as an optional extra. Therefore, all my listings will have a combined handling/shipping charge which is inclusive of insurance. Please contact me IN ADVANCE OF BIDDING if you would prefer to opt of this and select shipping without insurance. This will only be possible if you can pay by bank transfer from an account in GBP.
My preferred method of payment is by bank transfer or cheque drawn on a UK bank. If you can pay by this method, tracking and insurance will be optional and this could result in a considerable saving in postage expenses.
Please bid only if you agree with ebay/PayPal's terms and conditions.
COMBINED POSTAGE: As my items vary so widely in size, shape and weight, it is not possible to quote postage prices that take into account all possible multiple purchases, so if you win more than one item, please do not complete checkout or send payment before requesting and receiving a combined invoice, otherwise ebay's automated system will overcharge you. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
In the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied with any item(s) you receive, please have the courtesy to contact me before having recourse to ebay's automated returns procedure. I offer a no-quibble refund guarantee on all my items. Similarly, if your item is subject to delay or non-delivery, please contact me in the first instance, as that is only good manners.
Finally, please do not be concerned if you do not hear from me immediately following the end of the auction, as I often have to work away from home for several days at a time.
