Penney's Auctions part 7 now listing, cottons. Peaches & Creme, Sugar & Cream, Lion Cotton, etc......
There will be no Buy It Now listings, they will all be auctioned to give everyone an equal chance to get the yarns they want or need.
Carry-overs, from one auction set to the next must be pre-approved by me, as they were with the other lovely ladies who have been allowed to do so. A simple email is all it takes.
For those of you winning multiple auctions, please wait for my invoice before submitting your payments so that I can apply your combined shipping discounts. If I don't send you an invoice right away, please email me and let me know you are ready for one.
For the last couple of months, I have been liquidating a rather large personal stash, for a friend who has lost a loved one. All of these auctions are housed not only in their appropriate brand category, but also in a seperate store category titled Penney's Auctions. All monies made from these auctions go to the family of the decedent. I make nothing from the sale of these yarns.
This stash should have been completely liquidated by the end of July, but back and shoulder injuries have kept me from being able to process larger amounts of yarns as fast as I would have liked. The end is near, and you will know when the final part is listed when you start seeing patterns, mixed yarn lots and notions up(together).
Your patience between Penney's Auction listing sets(parts) is requested. Please remember that I am just one woman doing all of this work.
Unless there is a non-paying bidder, there will be no second chance offers for these auction listings.
Please don't ask me to give you a lower shipping cost rate for your auction wins, unless you qualify for one of my special discounted shipping rates for bulk purchases. All combined shipping costs are calculated down to the ounce, with no packaging or handling fees. It is actual costs that USPS or UPS will charge me to ship to you. In the same token, please do not ask me to toss extras into your packages, this is not my yarn to just give away. I do not, in my opinion, have that right.
Packages that can qualify for Domestic First Class postage(up to 13ozs.) the option will be noted on your invoice. Combined shipping is always available, and my special shipping discount applies to all purchases/wins. Scroll down to read my policies.
USPS will only allow my carrier to take up to 70lbs. in packages from me in a business day, so first pay first ship. If I surpass that weight in paid items, but am going into town that day, I will take any other readied packages in with me and ship them while I am out and about. If I am not going out, your items will ship the next available day. I have had to push some shipments back up to 5 and 6 days after payment, because of the weight restriction, so please understand if your package may go out a little late. I didn't write the rule, but I do have to follow it.
Take a look, you never know what you might find to Enhance Your Stash!!
Basic seller info, Q&A, etc...
I do combine shipping, for all purchases or wins made within a 5 day period. Please wait for an invoice, when purchasing multiple items, so that I can assure that all shipping discounts are applied. eBay does not properly calculate weight or actual postage for multiple items, and always overcharges and/or neglects to remove shipping options that are not available for some package weight. This is why all of my listings bear the request that buyers wait for an invoice, before making payment for multiple purchases.
If you do not wait for an invoice, and overpay your shipping, the remainder will be returned to your Paypal account. If you choose a shipping option that is not available for your package, your shipping will be upgraded to Priority, then the remainder returned. If you do not wait for an invoice for multiple purchases, and underpay your shipping as a result, you will be required to make up the difference before your items will ship.
Please remember to include your zip code, when emailing to inquire about shipping costs for multiple purchases. Also include an estimated list of what you are hoping to purchase, when inquiring about combined shipping rates. I can't help you if I don't know what you want, how much you want, or where it's going.
When I list items, they are in my home, in my possession, and can be ready to ship to you in a matter of minutes. I do not sell to you, then order the items from another sales agent, because I believe that to be a very poor business practice. I like to provide my customers with full satisfaction ASAP.
Most of the items I sell are new, and purchased solely for the purpose of selling on ebay. Once in a while, I will sell items pulled from my personal stash, that I had originally purchased for my own use. Usually, I will note this in the description of the item for sale.
I run my little sales operation, all by myself. Therefore, you should never receive any emails from anybody but me, in reference to your purchases from my listings.
Yes, my home is pet and smoke free.
I do crochet, so you can ask me any question about yarns, and I can almost always give you the answer to your question. Unless, it is a question about working with a yarn that I myself have not used before. I usually do not sell yarns, that I have never used myself, though. I like to be able to personally vouch for the quality of the yarns, in my listings.
I will gladly ship to P.O. boxes, and APO/AFO.
Most times, I use PAYPAL to ship. That means you don't have to wait for me to send you a shipping notification with a tracking#. Just click the dropdown box, for your purchased item, in your items won column. You will see several options. Click View Order, and then simply click on the tracking#.
I've recently decided to offer a new range of shipping discounts. This applies to all purchases, or wins.
- Up to $50.00=Actual Shipping Charges
- $50.00-$100.00=1/2 Off Shipping
- $100.00 And Over=FREE Shipping
Items paid for by PAYPAL E-CHECK, will not ship until the payment has cleared. This can take between 4 and 5 business days.
I only charge for actual shipping. There are no hidden handling fees in my shipping charges. Most times, I pay more to ship your package, than you have been charged.
I usually offer USPS First-Class, Parcel Post, and Priority shipping, but if you have another shipping method you would rather I use, simply let me know.
Purchases of 7Lbs. or heavier, are automatically eligible for UPS or FEDEX shipping, and this option will also be noted on an invoice. If you are eligible, and choose UPS or FEDEX, please remember to note your phone# on your paypal payment, money order/cashier's check. This is strictly to be used for shipping purposes.
Now shipping worldwide!!! Destination blocks have been pulled, so you are now free to purchase from any listing. Please email me for rates, because all listings must be edited in order for the new shipping rates to show for these other countries. Some listings that have been purchased from will have to be ended, edited, then relisted.
I do offer refunds on returned items, for 2 weeks after receipt of item. I do not accept return of pattern books or leaflets, because they are too easy to copy.
Items returned must be intact, clean and unused. I will not accept return of, or issue refund, for items returned damaged or used. Buyer must pay all shipping costs to return items.
Insurance is optional, but encouraged. I will not accept return of, or issue refund for, items damaged or lost by any shipping service if insurance is not chosen.
I usually try to ship, the same day I receive cleared payment for an item. Next business day, if paid late in the evening or during the weekend. Once in a while, however, life gets in the way and I need to delay the shipping of your items. I always try to ship within 3 business days of receiving cleared payment.
I do not ship on a promise, otherwise known as PTP(promise to pay). Cleared payment must be received before your item(s) will ship.
Paypal is preferred, but I will accept cashier's checks/money orders. International(non-US) buyers MUST make payment through PAYPAL ONLY. Payment is requested within 5 days if paying with paypal, and 10 days if paying by money order/cashier's check. If I do not receive payment within the specified time, and receive no response from you, I will file an unpaid item claim for non-payment and I will relist the items. You will also be blocked from any further purchases from my listings. If you do not think you can follow these payment guidelines, please do not bid or purchase from my listings.
U.S buyers mailing payment will receive an email when your money order/cashier's check arrives, and another when the payment clears. Please address your payment envelope clearly. One customer was not so careful and her payment went to another address down the street. Luckily, I was doing daycare for the woman who lived at the address so it was brought to me later that day. I say luckily, because the customer sent cash.
Please leave feedback for your purchases or wins. I leave appropriate feedback immediately upon receiving cleared payment.
Apparently, some buyers are just not seeing this insert, so I will make it more obvious. Please do not send me cash through the mail!!! Lost or stolen money orders or Cashier's checks, can be reissued. Cash is just gone.
No personal checks will be accepted. If you send me a personal check for your purchases, I will return it to you. The item(s) will then be relisted.
If you contact me, I will make a private listing for you. However, if you request a private listing, and do not purchase, the option will NOT be made available to you again. Most times when I do a private listing, I price the item(s) far below MSRP.
My picture gallery only shows up to 50 listings at a time. You will know if I have additional items for sale, not shown in the gallery, if the picture# on the top right corner of the gallery reads 50. If this is the case, in order to view all items for sale by me, you must click on view seller's other items.
If you bid on an item, for a family member or someone else in your home who may not have an EBAY account, YOU are responsible for completing the transaction if you are the winner. Please do not leave me hanging for weeks, with no response to invoices or emails, because you are waiting for someone else to take care of the tab. And please don't use profanity in your emails or paypal notes, when you do contact me or make payment for the item(s). I have blocked certain buyers for doing these exact things.
If you bid or buy from my listings, and do not make payment, I will file claim with eBay. You will then be permanently blocked from making any other purchases from my listings.
