IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE AN ITEM PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE RAISING A DISPUTE-also contact your local sorting office to enquire if item is with them as this sometimes happens. Also neighbours take packages and may forget to tell you.

PLEASE REFER TO POSTAGE NOTES BELOW

I AM NOT A BUSINESS .

I AM JUST A SOLE EBAYER SELLING ITEMS AS CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A SMALL PROFIT FOR MYSELF.AND MY FAMILY TO PAY FOR THOSE LITTLE EXTRAS IN THESE HARD TIMES. I HOPE TO SUPPLY ITEMS TO OTHER EBAYERS WHO FIND IT HARD TO LOCATE THEM AND SOMETIMES MORE RARER ITEMS. I ALWAYS START THESE ITEMS IN AUCTION AS CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE.

MY P+P CHARGES INCLUDE AN ELEMENT OF TIME AND EFFORT AS MANY OF MY ITEMS FOR SALE HAVE BEEN SOURCED FROM VARIOUS LOCATIONS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF MAKING SOME SUPPLEMENTARY INCOME. SO PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE ACTUAL POSTAL CHARGE SEEN ON YOUR ITEM WHEN RECEIVED IS MY SOLE COST. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE EBAY AND PAYPAL FEES AS WELL AS PETROL,PACKAGING,CONSUMABLES ETC ETC TO COVER THE COST OF.

PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU ARE ENTIRELY HAPPY WITH THE ITEM AS DESCRIBED, TAKING CARE OVER THE DESCRIPTION INCLUDING PHOTO AND P+P CHARGES. MOST OF MY ITEMS ARE BOOKS SO PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SOME OF THESE BOOKS ARE HEAVY AND THE POST OFFICE FEES ARE NOT CHEAP . ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE TO PAY EBAY+PAYPAL CHARGES ALSO. I DO NORMALLY OFFER A TOTAL MAXIMUM 10% REDUCTION ON P+P CHARGES(negotiable) AND WILL BE APPLIED UPON APPLICATION ONLY.THIS IS ALSO NEGOTIABLE UPON APPLICATION ONLY. A STANDARD PAPERBACK BOOK COSTS ABOUT £1.70 TO POST 2ND CLASS AT PRESENT.

IF YOU ARE PURCHASING AN ITEM AS A GIFT PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MAJORITY OF MY ITEMS ARE SECOND HAND OR USED AND WILL HAVE VARYING DEGREES OF WEAR ,IF AN ITEM STATES VGC THEN IT WOULD BE SUITABLE AS A GIFT AS IT WILL BE ALMOST NEW.HOWEVER MOST ITEMS ARE IN A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE AND NORMALLY GOOD CONDITION SO IF YOU WANT A COMPLETE FULL DESCRIPTION ABOUT ANY WEAR MARKS ETC ETC PLEASE CONTACT ME PRIOR TO BIDDING-ANYTHING ADDITIONAL I WILL PLACE IN THE ITEM DESCRIPTION NOTES-SOME ITEMS ARE OFTEN IN A VERY GOOD CONDITION AND IF I STATE THIS THEN YOU CAN ASSUME THAT THEY WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO PURCHASE AS GIFTS.

I DO NOT ACCEPT LOCAL PICK UP OF ITEMS OR COLLECTION OF ITEMS FROM MY HOME UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED AND THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

IF YOU WISH TO RECIEVE MORE INFORMATION OR A MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION ABOUT AN ITEM PLEASE USE EBAYS CONTACT THE SELLER SERVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND NOT MY PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS.

I WILL NORMALLY POST ALL ITEMS WITHIN 5  WORKING  DAYS FROM THE NEXT WORKING DAY ( BUT HAVE AN EBAY PROMISE OF 10 WORKING DAYS) FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF A CLEARED PAYMENT SO PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME ABOUT NON RECEIPT UNTIL AFTER THAT PERIOD OF TIME ALLOWING WEEKEND AND BANK HOLIDAYS AS EXTRA DAYS.THIS ALSO MEANS THAT I MAY NOT POST UNTIL WORKING DAY 5 (10)AFTER RECEIPT OF PAYMENT. IF I RECEIVE A CHEQUE THEN I WILL NORMALLY WAIT 7 WORKING DAYS FOR CLEARANCE AND ANY UNCLEARED PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL DELAY ITEMS AGAIN UNTIL AFTER CLEARENCE. MOSTLY I WILL POST THE NEXT WORKING DAY BUT SOME WEEKS I HAVE MORE ITEMS THAN USUAL AND HAVE TO STAGGER THE POSTAGE. GENERALLY THE PERSONS THAT PAY THE FIRST WILL HAVE THEIR ITEMS THE FIRST INTO THE POST OFFICE.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A PAYMENT MAY BE MADE TO MYSELF ON A SATURDAY BUT THE ITEM NOT BEING POSTED UNTIL THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY. THIS IS VERY RARE BUT CAN HAPPEN ON VERY BUSY WEEKS FOR ME. THIS IS JUST TO TRY AND CLARIFY MY POSTAL DETAILS FROM ABOVE AS SOME PERSONS CHASE FOR ITEMS FROM THE START OF THE WEEK FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF A SUCCESSFUL BID AT THE WEEKEND.

I DO TRY AND PACKAGE ITEMS AS BEST AS I CAN BUT IF AN ITEM IS DAMAGED IN THE POST PLEASE COMPLAIN TO THE POST OFFICE AS I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS..

THE VAST MAJORITY OF ALL MY BUYERS ARE VERY DECENT PEOPLE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE SOME UNSCRUPULOUS PERSONS WHO HAVE NOW MADE IT NECESSASRY FOR ME TO ONLY LEAVE FEEDBACK ONCE I HAVE RECEIVED FEEDBACK. I HATE RECEIVING UNWARRANTED FEEDBACK BUT AM OK IF IT IS FAIR SO PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU INTEND UPON LEAVING NEGATIVE OR NEUTRAL FEEDBACK AND PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE DOING SO AS I MAY BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE MATTER FURTHER AND OFFER FULL OR PART REFUND DEPENDING UPON THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF AN ITEM IS NOT PAID FOR AFTER 7 DAYS OR I DO NOT RECEIVE ANY CONTACT ABOUT THE ITEM I WILL AUTOMATICALLY ENTER AN EBAY DISPUTE.

ALSO IF YOU FEEL THAT THE P+P FEES ARE HIGHER THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT PLEASE CONTACT ME SO THAT I CAN REVIEW THE FEES AND CONSIDER MAKING A FURTHER REDUCTION THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO BOTH OF US.PLEASE DONT MAKE A PAYMENT AND COMPLAIN ABOUT FEES AFTERWARDS

MANY THANKS TO THOSE BUYERS WHO HAVE MADE THE EFFORT TO READ THESE NOTES
