If you do not intend to pay PLEASE don't bid. I rely on eBay as my main form of income. I recently left my job as a teacher to care for an elderly parent.

Shipping & Handling:

I generally charge what USPS or Fed Ex charges me plus a nominal amount to pay for my gas to drive to the shipping/post office, dumpster diving for boxes, packing material (tape, etc.) and my labor for packing. In case you have not noticed the cost of shipping has gone up, please use my shipping calculator or e-mail me to confirm the shipping cost.

I generally ship by USPS priority mail or if the item is large by USPS Parcel Post. If the item will fit in to a flat rate box USPS priority box, I will ship using this method.

Due to many unhappy experiences, I no longer ship by UPS. For items over the USPS Parcel Post weight limit, I will ship by Fed Ex Ground (as such I need a street address). This will be disclosed in the description of my auctions where shipping by Fed Ex is the only option, please e-mail me for shipping costs.

I generally ship packages twice a week. I work as a caregiver and two cottage industry jobs and as a result it is impossible to acknowledge the receipt of every payment and give notification of every package being shipped out, SORRY!

Conditions of sale:

No one can be an expert at everything; I do my best to describe the item accurately, and honestly. I guarantee my item against being “Dead On Arrival” (except where otherwise noted as a final sale or if damaged by the shipping agent). However, I encourage you to look over the description, photos and ask questions.

If you wish to return the item please inform me by e-mail first and when I receive the item in the condition it was shipped in, I will refund the purchase price but not the shipping/insurance costs. I strongly URGE you to ship the item with insurance. Please, do not return items for flaws that have been pointed out in my description.

I (the seller) accept absolutely no responsibility for any or all consequences and/or losses caused by or through the use or misuse of any item(s) sold through my auctions and/or other sales to the purchaser and/or his agent(s). The safety of this and all item(s) and their compliance with all local, state and federal codes is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Bidding on my auctions is an agreement to these terms.

THANK YOU, GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING!!
