I reside in the City of Maples, a small midwestern city with a population of nearly 6,000. I love to collect vintage western movie memorabilia and vintage jigsaw puzzles.
My Payment/Shipping /Refund Details
I currently accept PayPal, money order/cashier check and personal checks (item will be held 10-12 days for the check to clear my bank). I accept only PayPal from International buyers. Payment is expected within 10 days of auction end. I use eBay's invoicing at the end of the auction. If payment is not received within 10 days from the end of the auction, a NPB (non-paying bidder) alert will be filed through eBay -- 10 days is plenty of time even with "snail mail". Item will be relisted and a final value fee credit will be filed with eBay if payment is not received 10 days from the NPB alert. I'm not shy about leaving negative feedback for non-paying bidders!! If there is a problem, please e-mail me -- I believe in communication and will do my best to work with you.
Insurance is optional unless stated otherwise in the auction. I will not be held responsible for uninsured items that are lost, misdirected or damaged in the mail. It is as described in the auction when I mail it and I cannot be held responsible once it leaves my hands at the post office. My listed shipping cost in the auction is for U.S only. I always welcome international bidders/buyers, but you will need to either e-mail me for total shipping cost or wait for my invoice as shipping costs will be higher.
I usually ship items other than books priority mail with delivery confirmation. I normally charge a flat shipping and handling rate on my auctions. In instances where the items are very fragile, I will charge a small handling fee for packaging materials, usually $1.00 to $1.50 depending on the item. I pride myself on packaging items so they do not get bent, broken, etc. during shipping -- but sometimes the post office does not take extra care so insurance is strongly suggested on fragile items. I use priority mail boxes provided by the post office as the boxes are sturdy and help to protect your items. Books are sent media mail unless another form of shipping is requested.
Most items are sold as-is. I will only issue a refund of the winning bid and original shipping cost if the item has been grossly misrepresented in the description. Refunds do not include return shipping costs -- you will be responsible for that cost. Refunds are made only after I receive returned item in the condition in which it was sent to you. I have gotten "burned" a few times by refunding before I receive item - a definite live and learn lesson.
