Why did you file a Unpaid item strike on me? First of all, after we have exhausted all efforts to contact you to pay for a item, we will file a Unpaid Item Strike. You are added to our Blocked Bidder List so that you cannot conduct transactions with us. If you can't pay for one item, why should we let you bid or buy for more items? As soon as a auction ends, we send a invoice. You have 3 to 5 days to pay for your item(s). We send a Payment Reminder after the 5th day. If we do not receive payment, we file a Unpaid Item Strike. We have the option of reselling the item if we choose to. Consider a Unpaid Item Strike as a reminder via ebay for you to pay. We do not like to leave negative feedback since
we believe that all it does is tarnish a reputation of a members
feedback profile on ebay. We of landofthejawas do not believe in using negative feedback and/or implying that we will leave negative feedback as a form of coercion whatsoever.
Ebays new policy is that sellers cannot leave negative feedback anymore so this is a moot point. If you notice in all of our listings, we do not state that if you do not pay, we
will do negative things to you, etc..
Combined Shipping: The maximum amount of time for all ebayers to purchase additional items for "COMBINED SHIPPING" is 7 DAYS
after the last auction win. One week. We do not have exceptions to
this rule. An example of this is if you were to win an auction that ended on the 1st of April, you have seven (7) days in which you may feel free to shop in our store. Whatever
is purchased in that seven day period is eligible for "combined shipping!" If you are bidding on items that end in another week, that item(s) will be charged for separately and
shipped separately. The maximum amount of time that we will hold a shipment and ship it out to you is 7 days. If you buy more items the next week, those items will be combined
and charged as a separate order.
Payments: All payments are due in Three (3) to Five (5) days regardless of the days stated in the listing. We had one fellow tell
us that he pays on Fridays. Now, how in the world are
we supposed to know that? We are not mind readers nor do we have Jedi powers. If one does not pay within the above mentioned time period, we will file a UPI (Unpaid Item Strike)
on the item. You will be added to our Blocked Bidders List immediately. Furthermore, you are banned from bidding or conducting business with us.
Any pending e-checks or pending Paypal payments must clear first before we ship out to you. We use to ship before they cleared but after someone canceled a payment, we now
wait until payment clears. It always takes one rotten apple to spoil the bunch!
Insurance is the responsibility of the winning bidder of an auction and/or if you conduct a "Buy It Now!" We are not responsible
for items lost, stolen, signed for by other
parties, etc.. once they are shipped via USPS. We had one transaction where it took 33 days for the shipment to be delivered via Priority Mail! The head jawa in charge of
shipping argued with the postal clerk at our local USPS, she stated that they (USPS) will only refund the shipping charge for Express Mail services.
At this time, 4% sales tax is applicable on all items for the state of Hawaii only regardless of whether it is stated on the listings or not.
We do have a GENERAL EXCISE TAX LICENSE for the state of Hawaii which covers all of the islands of Hawaii.
INTERNATIONAL EBAYERS: One must reside physically in the continental United States of America in order to bid on our
items at landofthejawas or utilize the "Buy it
now!" option! If we see that you are registered in the U.S.A. and have a shipping address outside of the U.S.A. in a foreign country, we construe this as circumventing ebay's
rules.
Pre-Approval International Requirements: If you are residing outside of the U.S.A. and are interested in our items, you must
contact us. Once we see that you do not have recent negative feedback, unpaid item
strikes, or bid retractions, we will consider conducting business with you. These are the rules established by our Council of Jawas. We have had success shipping to the
following countries: Australia, Belgium, England, France, Gibraltar, Israel, Hungary & Spain. All of the International ebayers in which we
dealt with were pre-approved prior to them conducting transactions with us. Please note that at this time we will not ship to Mexico or South America unless you as the buyer or
winner of a auction pre-approved by us pays for the package to be insured
which may cost $12.00 USD each package or more + Tracking which may or may not cost an additional $10.00 USD.
Buyer Block Exemption List: From time to time we update our list. If you conducted business with us before and find yourself blocked, simply email us via ebay. We will add you back on.
Feedback Policy: If you purchase, win more than one auction, we usually post positive feedback for one of the two items. If you were to win one item, we usually post positive feedback after you have left it for us which is a indicator that you are happy with our products and services. As of May 2008, any Neutral feedback counts as a negative feedback on any sellers feedback profile. a lot of Buyers are not even sure of ebay's new policy. After one year of a Neutral or Negative feedback left for a seller, it will not be counted. Supposedly the sellers score will raise back to 100% pending no more issues. In our SCE (Shipping Confirmation Email), we ask that you contact us prior to posting a feedback other than positive so we can proactively take care of the situation at hand if one were ever to arise.
Please be aware that leaving 4 out of 5 stars for you seller can hurt your sellers DSR (Detailed Seller Rating). For further information in regards to ebay's new feedback polciy, pleace click on my darthoz ebay Guide link.
