Ebay Terms- Please read!

Terms and Shipping- Please read before you bid- Thanks

Terms- If you win an auction, you can pay at once, or wait for my invoice to be sent to you. I accept PayPal payments ONLY. Once you are invoiced, please pay within 3 days.

A word about returns- As with most sellers I do take returns on most items, if they do not match the description in the ad. You must contact me within 5 days of receiving the item and tell me why you want to return it. (I changed my mind is not a valid reason!)You pay shipping both ways and I refund the selling price----This is what eBay requires of sellers. If an item is sold AS IS or Not Working, there are NO returns or REFUNDS- This also is in accordance with eBay rules. So before you buy or bid, make sure you understand the terms

Shipping

I will ship as soon as I can after your payment. I use USPS Priority Mail with Delivery confirmation for small items, and Federal Express Home Delivery for larger items. I try to ship the day after the end of the auction and 90% shipping gets done that way. Some times I have to procure special boxes and packing and it takes a day or 2.

FED EX CUSTOMERS, IMPORTANT: please add your PHONE NUMBER to your note in PayPal, as Fed EX requires this for all shipments. Please note that if you pay on a Friday evening, I CAN NOT ship FED EX until MONDAY AM.

I want your item to reach you in great shape.  I DO NOT PROFIT from my shipping charges. Packing delicate items for survival is an art; it is time consuming and expensive. I charge only for the cost of the materials plus  the actual shipping company costs.  As examples, new boxes cost between $3-25 and a large roll of bubble wrap costs $54.  Because all the major shipping companies will deny claims for items shipped in used boxes, I use new boxes for expensive and heavy equipment. I also double box any item that has tubes or glass, or is particularly fragile. This adds to the cost, but helps make sure your item arrives to you in the SAME CONDITION it was shipped. Because of increases in fuel costs I have to raise my rates to cover my expense. I will refund any excess packing an shipping costs once the package has been shipped.

If you choose to ship by FED EX, and provided PayPal with a valid email address, you will receive tracking information from FED EX when your item ships, and communications regarding any issues they run into.

OVERSEAS BIDDERS- Because of negative shipping experiences to overseas addresses, I do not ship outside the US. If you bid  and win an item without discussing the situation with me, YOU AR COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKUP, PACKING AND SHIPPING!!!!! This means you will pay me for the item and then getting it to you is your responsibility. I will no drag soemthing around trying to get it spacked and shipped.

Feedback

I leave feedback when you pay for your item. When you receive the item, please unpack it right away, and carefully inspect for damage and function. Please leave positive feedback for me after you have verified this.

If the item is damaged, it is VERY IMPORTANT you keep ALL the packing materials and boxes until the shipper has inspected them. YOU will need to file a claim with the shipper. In addition, please contact me, since we will need to work together to resolve the claim.

If you are considering leaving negative feedback, please contact me before doing so, and we will work out the issues. Please check my feedback profile.
