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%.
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 1979, and it has been kept carefully in a drawer ever since, so there are no marks or damage at all.
I do use recycled packaging wherever possible. We have a planet to save, remember.
I am also currently selling several similar items, so please check my other listings.
Unfortunately, because of the obstructive attitude of Poste Italiane and Italian Customs, I no longer ship to Italy. The same applies to Austria and the Republic of Ireland.
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.
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.
Please note that I never end auctions early, as it is not fair on other bidders. Anyone making such a request will automatically be added to my Blocked Bidders list, along with non-payers, those who repeatedly pay late or retract bids without good reason, and those who refuse to return feedback when requested.
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.
POSTAGE AND PACKING CHARGES (INCLUSIVE OF INSURANCE) : UK £2.95, rest of world £8.75 (includes ebay surcharge).
