Payment |
 |
Payment is expected within 7 days of Auction close, Buy It Now, or Store purchase. If you are bidding on or are interested in purchasing multiple items, please contact me at the end of the first auction or purchase. I am glad to delay payment for multiple purchases, within reason and where possible, in order to lower the total shipping cost. If you require more than 7 days to complete your payment obligation, contact me so I am aware of the situation. You can usually pay for your item at time of purchase through PayPal as the on-line invoice will insert the appropriate s/h charges. If multiple purchases are involved, or those that involve different shipping methods, I may need to send a final invoice with total s/h after items are packaged and weighed. Negative feedback will be left for all buyers who do not fulfill their obligation and a non-paying bidder alert filed. I accept PayPal on all items; cashiers checks or money orders on most, and personal checks on some; all payments other than PayPal must clear first.
Important: If you will be mailing payment, please print and include a copy of your invoice or buyer notification so I will know which item[s] you have purchased; be sure it shows your complete name and mailing address. I do not receive your shipping information directly other than through PayPal payments, so it is necessary that you provide this information with your payment.

Shipping |
 |
All listings contain the Shipping Calculator so you will know your s/h cost ahead of time; all items ship based on weight and distance from Maryland 20814. I am always glad, where possible, to combine purchases to save you money on shipping for items bought within 7 days of each other. If there is an Auction purchase that ends beyond 7 days from the time you purchased a Store item[s], please let me know. All items are available for pick-up with prior arrangement.
Most items ship USPS w/Delivery Confirmation included for tracking purposes; Insurance is required on breakable items and included in s/h; other items may require Insurance due to their value. USPS Insurance is optional but recommended for all others; I am not responsible if your item is not insured against loss or damage in transit; in the event of an insured item being damaged or lost you are responsible for dealing with the insurer for reimbursement. Heavier or larger items ship UPS; Insurance is automatically included up to $100 value; cannot ship to P. O. Box addresses via UPS. All packages ship with a tracking number for delivery confirmation purposes.
You should have a Confirmed Address in order for your item to be shipped. If you purchase an item and provide an Unconfirmed Address, I will ship the item to the address provided; however, if the item is returned as undeliverable, I will not refund your postage. I send a confirmation email after I have shipped your item so you will know that it is on its way.

Terms of Sale |
 |
Review the item description and picture carefully. If you have any questions, email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible, but please allow enough time to the end of the listing. I reserve the right to cancel bids from bidders with negative or zero feedback and from bidders outside the U.S. who have not contacted me in advance.
Important: I sell personal items as well as for others; I cannot guarantee that everything is from a pet/smoke free environment. Some may have been stored and could be dusty or dirty; others may have retained odors or been exposed to pets or smoke. Clothing and other appropriate items are aired outside and/or refreshed with Febreeze; I do not wash or dry clean clothing before shipment nor do I clean items to avoid damage.
INTERNATIONAL SALES:
I do not as a general rule sell outside the U.S. due to much higher shipping costs; however, with prior approval, I may do so if you contact me prior to bidding/buying so you will know s/h cost as I do not include the International Shipping Calculator in my listings.
PRICING POLICY:
Please keep in mind that my Buy It Now price is not overpriced for the age, value, and condition of the item, so do not send me a Best Offer that is far below the price shown. I always price items or start auctions at a fair and reasonable price. While I know buyers want to get a bargain, all items I list are quality and a fraction of their original cost or current value. Just so you know, I do not purchase items from a wholesaler or outlet for resale.
Buying certain types of items is subjective; what I consider acceptable you may not. I never list items that do not meet my standards and I would not purchase for myself. If I notice a problem, I will mention it, but if something is overlooked it is not intentional. Always keep in mind that buying items that have been worn/used may or will show wear. If the item is new, it will be clearly marked in the listing as New, NWT, NWOT, NIB, NIP; if there is no designation, then the item has been worn/used, so please be reasonable in your expectations.
