POSTAGE PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURE:
Please read the following carefully and fully understand our mutual committment. Items posted twice weekly after sale and payment completion...
ONLY PAYPAL VIABLE OUTSIDE UK
.E-mail if paying within UK by STERLING P.O./cheque... As anyone who has dealings with us already knows, packaging and attention to detail are second to none.Everything , which we regard of collectable value, is usually mailed in heavy board custom-made mailers usually with additional exterior protection. This requires time and expenditure on our part, which is considered a strict, non-negotiable, responsibility. Nothing is shoved into a flimsy wrapper and thrown in the post.
We sell worldwide .Our local postage and packing requirements are displayed for you to comply with before bidding, or if adjustment is required for reasons of international sales, on request, before bidding. There is usually an additional postal requirement as books and magazines posted internationally with this protection tend to weigh heavily. If you require "flip , shoddy" or a lesser service instead of a quality process ,do not bid in our auctions.In that case we will not be in a position to take your choice personally! We try to aptly describe every item on sale,but bear in mind that these are usually collectable already used articles unless otherwise described.We do not take any of this flippantly,so e-mail or write if you foresee a potential problem, intend going on holiday, or if there will be any delay in payment at auction end.We are reasonable, if, for example there is a delay for substantiated personal or family reasons.
Ebay will send out an automatic invoice but if you are living outside the U.K.,wait as we usually send a personalised invoice within 24 hours.Confirmation or payment is expected within 3 days of receipt or auction -end. 7 days are allowed before instigating non-payment proceedings, which in the event of someone reneging on a sale for whatever reason{unless in a case of dire distress!...trauma, injury or unfortunate bereavement!}, allows us to relist the sale item with ebay and reclaim our sales fee. This procedure usually carries with it the stigma of a non -buyer strike against your own e-bay account, so if you are serious about future bids and deals, it's a consideration to be taken seriously.We would expect similar attention and procedure from all parties involved in the auction as other potential buyers and bidders are insulted likewise by a thoughtless, errant bidder. We regard committment to buy as legally binding, so if a bid is withdrawn ,negative feedback will be issued because it effects everyone involved.
Our preferred method of payment is via PayPal internationally,within the UK, Paypal, Sterling cheques,Postal orders .Items will be shipped at least twice weekly after auction -end , barring Post Office holidays.{We usually post out two or three times weekly}.Proof of postage is collected and stamped at the Post Office , which is where our responsibility ends, although we will assist if possible should anything go amiss.If there is any kind of problem with your order that bothers you or that we can help with let us know before considering negative feedback, because good communication usually fixes everything. We accept UK personal STERLING cheques only, and all cheques will have to clear before item is shipped..
ANY CONCERNS ON THE METHOD OF PAYMENT OR ADDITIONAL POSTAGE COSTS , PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE BIDDING
Items posted twice weekly following sale ...check for price adjustments before paying if posted other than to U.K .... If paying by cheque/P.O.,please e-mail us..
PROBLEMS :
It is a simple courtesy to pay for a much -wanted item quickly. Due to the percentage of TIMEWASTERS and thoughtless impulse bidders out there, If there is a problem with payment or a question of any kind regarding the sale item contact us immediately. We usually respond very quickly.
FEEDBACK POLICY
: FEEDBACK CAN BE A THORNY ISSUE FOR ALL LONG-TERM EBAYERS. IT'S FINE WHEN IT'S POSITIVE , AND EVEN A NEGATIVE REACTION CAN PROVE CONSTRUCTIVE IF A MISTAKE CAN BE FIXED.UNFORTUNATELY THE SYSTEM IS WIDE -OPEN TO ALL MANNER OF INTERPRETATION AND JUST AS THE WORLD GENERALLY HAS IT'S FAIR SHARE OF OFF-KILTER , CONFUSED AND SEMI-LITERATE INDIVIDUALS,[ WITHOUT JUDGING TOO HARSHLY], SOME OF THESE SAME INDIVIDUALS DO FIND THEIR WAY INTO THIS PROCESS AND SUBSEQUENTLY WREAK HAVOC ON LONG-ESTABLISHED ACCOUNTS, SOMETIMES FOR DESTRUCTIVE PURPOSE OR POSSIBLY WITHOUT REALISING THE CONSEQUENCES.THE EBAY SYSTEM TRIES BUT ULTIMATELY LEAVES LITTLE ROOM FOR REDRESS ON THIS ISSUE. ULTIMATELY, AFTER NEGATIVE FEEDBACK HAS BEEN MALICIOUSLY LEFT THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH AN UNSTABLE INDIVIDUAL OR ONE WHOSE COMMUNICATION OR LITERARY SKILLS ARE UNDER DEVELOPED. ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED HAS BEEN LEFT BY PEOPLE WHOSE COMMAND OF REASON AND RATIONAL THINKING SKILLS, HAS LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED. Positive feedback will be for all good transactions, even sometimes when the response is slow. There have been a couple of times when we have later been ripped off by an individual to whom we've initially had a "good" deal with. EBAY , IS UNFORTUNATELY UNABLE TO REALLY DEAL WITH THIS BEHAVIOUR THOUGH IT ATTEMPTS TO GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS OF FAIR-PLAY.THE SYSTEM IS BUILT ON TRUST WHICH CAN SOMETIMES BE WASTED ON SOME INDIVIDUALS. We report ALL problem auctions to ebay after 7 days for further action, which usually results in a strike against the reneger's account, a negative feedback insert and the future blocking of that individual's right to partake in future auctions.
THE THINGS WE CAN DO TO MAKE THE EBAY EXPERIENCE AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1..DESCRIBE THE SALE ITEM APTLY AND SUCCINCTLY.. .2.PACK IT REALLY WELL... 3.POST IT QUICKLY WHEN THE PAYMENT IS CLEARED.. ..WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR.... A...THE VAGARIES OF THE POSTAL SYSTEM, WHICH WE TRY TO COVER BY COLLECTING PROOF OF POSTAGE FOR THE BUYER AT THE POST OFFICE.. .B....WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROVENANCE OF AN ITEM. IN OTHER WORDS WE HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER WHERE THE ITEM ORIGINATED OR IN WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES..WHETHER AS A FREE GIVEAWAY INSIDE A CEREAL BOX, A GIFT AT A CHRISTMAS PARTY, OR INITIALLY NEWLY BOUGHT OR SECOND HAND IN A STORE, AUCTION JUMBLE OR CAR BOOT SALE... IF THE CUSTOMER DESIRES IT AND IS WILLING TO PAY WHATEVER PRICE, THE PRICE WILL HAVE NO REAL RELEVANCE TO THE ITEM'S FINAL MONETARY WORTH OR OTHERWISE.. ..C.... NEITHER ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE QUALITY OR OTHERWISE OF THE WRITER'S OR ARTIST'S ACTUAL WORK ON DISPLAY IN ANY BOOK OR MAGAZINE SOLD.WE MAY NOT CURRENTLY ENJOY, NOR NECESSESSARILY ENDORSE, SOME OF THE CREATIVE SPIRITS WORK THAT WE MAY HAVE FOR SALE.WE WILL ACCEPT NO BLAME IF THE BUYER IS OF A MINDSET NOT TO ENJOY THE WRITING STYLE, RELIGION,POLITICS ,LITERACY OR OTHERWISE ARTISTIC PROFICIENCY OR EXPERTISE AND PRODUCTION VALUES OF ANY OF THE CREATORS OR PUBLISHERS INVOLVED. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ONLY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WE HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED OUT OFOUR MANY DEALS , WERE FROM INDIVIDUALS DISTURBED ENOUGH TO ASSOCIATE OUR SALE OF THE ITEM , NOT WITH THE QUALITY OF OUR PERFORMANCE, BUT THE PROVENANCE AND ARTISTIC QUALITY OF THE ITEM'S CREATION OR PAST. THE BOTTOM LINE IS.... THAT ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LEFT ON OUR SITE IS DUE TO LACK OF PRIOR COMMUNICATION BY THE LEAVER AND IS ULTIMATELY BEYOND ALL OUR CONTROL. IF THE LEAVER DOES NOT WISH TO AVAIL OF ANY HELP OFFERED. NO ONE IS FORCED TO COMPLY,SO PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU INTEND TO ABIDE BY THESE EASY RULES AND COMPLETE THE SALE.
THINK BEFORE YOU BID THANK YOU .....
