    Based on feedback volume alone it might appear we are new to the eBay community, but nothing could be further from the truth. Only Flies has a legacy of almost 5 years of successful eBay sales experience. We began our eBay presence in 2003 as a surplus auto parts liquidator and within just 2 months we had achieved power seller status. The business continued to grow over the next few years until it was sold in early 2006.

    After a few months away we found we missed being a part of eBay and began to consider a new eBay venture; and here we are. Only Flies is the result of blending our 30-year love fly fishing with our experience as a successful eBay seller. We're excited for the opportunity it provides to serve two of our favorite communities; fly fishers and eBayers!

    We understand that as an eBay shopper, chances are you're looking for a bargain. We strive to provide just that. We know you're likely to choose to shop with us based on our low prices alone, but you'll get much more than a just a low price! We take pride in the selling only the highest quality flies, providing fast reliable shipping, and delivering the best value available on eBay. We sell only brand new hand-tied flies, crafted by professional fly- tyers on high quality hooks. We never sell used flies, "seconds" or amateur work. Our flies are assembled from the highest quality materials and use internationally recognized fly patterns. We have over 30,000 flies in stock and offer a large selection of popular patterns, sizes, and colors to meet your needs.

    To find out more about our products and auction policies, take a moment to review the Frequently Asked Questions and the remaining sections of this page. We hope you'll find them useful and informative. If you have any questions, please ask them prior to bidding.


    Do you offer shipping discounts?
    Absolutely!  When multiple items are paid on the same invoice we charge our low flat-rate shipping for the first item, and each additional item is shipped FREE   Please wait for all auctions to end before paying.  When making payment through PayPal or by mail, you can combine your purchase in eBay checkout and the discount is automatically calculated.   See the "Shipping" section for a special way to save even more.

    Did you receive my payment?
    When your payment arrives by PayPal or by Mail we will send a "Payment Received" email to your email account through eBay to acknowledge its receipt.  If you do not receive this email within the time expected, check your junk mail folder.

    When and how did my item ship?
    Items usually ship within 24-48 hrs depending on time of payment and day of week. Most shipments are made via USPS First Class mail.  For your convenience we will send an "Item Shipped" email to your email account through eBay to notify you when your item has shipped.  If you do not receive this email within the time expected, check your junk mail folder.

    Why haven't I received an email from you regarding my purchase?
    Some anti-spam programs and internet email providers (AOL, Yahoo, etc.) can mistakenly consider our legitimate communication as SPAM. So check your junk mail or SPAM folder first.  Then, if you still haven't heard from us within 48 hours of completing payment, send us an email letting us know.  Don't forget to include the auction/listing numbers included in your purchase.  We work hard to get your orders shipped quickly sometimes we may move a little too fast and miss a step.  If this happens, please accept our apologies in advance. 

    What's my tracking number?
    Most shipments are made via USPS First Class mail.  The U.S. Postal Service does not offer tracking on First-class postal shipments. 

    What are your policies on feedback?
    We want to be certain you are happy with your purchase. Therefore, if you encounter any issues for which you think negative feedback is warranted we ask that you provide us with an opportunity to correct the problem. Please contact us and we will do everything possible to earn your approval.

    Shipping:

    Shipments are normally made within 24 - 48 hrs of receipt of payment, during normal business days.  Domestic  customers should allow 3-7 Business days for their shipment to arrive.  International customers should allow up to 14 business day excluding any customs processing.    

    Each order is packaged with the utmost care to ensure you receive everything in perfect, ready-to-fish condition. Other suppliers package flies in plastic bags and ship them in flat "mailer" envelopes. While this does reduce shipping costs, it often results in damage, especially to delicate dry flies. We simply don't believe our customers will think saving a $1.00 on shipping is worth having to spend time "restoring" their flies. Our dry flies are shipped in boxes to ensure they retain their shape and avoid damage. We're so sure you will appreciate our careful packaging, we're offering an additional incentive to first-time customers. Just mention the promo code "TLC" when completing payment and take an additional 25% off regular shipping. When you order from Only Flies, you never have to worry about smashed hackles, misshapen wings or bent tails.

    Domestic Shipping is just $2.95 for the first item and additional items are included in the same shipment FREE.

    Shipping to Canada*  is $6.00 for the first item and each additional item in the same shipment is just $1.00.

    International Shipping*  Contact us for international shipping charges prior to bidding

    *Insurance, import duties, courier service charges, taxes, and  surcharges( if any ) are not included.

    We're committed to 100% buyer satisfaction.  If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase you can exchange it for another product or a full refund, including the original shipping and handling.  Simply return the order to the ship-from address, in its original packaging. We cannot reimburse return shipping, or be responsible for damages or loss on return shipments

    We reciprocate seller feedback as soon as possible after buyer feedback is received.  We strive to keep an impeccable feedback rating and will do everything possible to ensure your items are received in good condition, and that you are happy with your purchase.  Therefore, if you encounter any issues for which you think negative feedback is warranted, please contact us first.  We will do everything possible to correct the problem.
