NEWS UPDATE: 

EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 2009: PAYMENTS ARE NOW DUE WITHIN 5 DAYS or unless indicated otherwise. This is due to a rash of non-payers.

EFFECTIVE 10-01-2008: I WILL ACCEPT PAYMENT BY PAYPAL ONLY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PAYPAL, YOU MUST CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU PLACE A BID.

COMMUNICATE PLEASE !

POSTED 11-15-2008: YOUR EMAILS WILL NEVER BE IGNORED (unless you are from a country I will not ship to or you are rude). 

SHIPPING DAYS: I ship one to two times per week, will advise buyer when shipping after payment has arrived. During baseball & soccer season (May- August Baseball) and (Sept - Dec Soccer) there will be slight changes due to practice and game scheduling. The exact shipping date will be provided in your feedback. I ship from Western New York State, please allow ample time for your items to arrive.  

GENERALLY, SHIPPING WILL BE DONE ON TUESDAYS and/or SATURDAYS.   Thank you. 

PAYMENT / SHIPPING / COMMUNICATIONS:

Payment is due within seven 5 days of auction ending. MANY AUCTIONS REQUIRE PAYMENT WITHIN 5 DAYS OF AUCTION END. Payment is by PayPal only. I prepare shipment the day I am paid unless you are a repeat buyer, then it might be prepared the day auction ends. I combine most shipping when auctions end within 24 hours of each other. Please do not wait longer than the 24 hours and then ask for combined shipping, again, the item may already be prepared for mail. I am flexible on the combined shipping also, meaning if you know another item ends more than 24 hour after your first item, just send an email prior. This is not a business for me and I do not have plans to get rich off of your postage and shipping fees.  I was and am still an eBay buyer also, and I also look for combined shipping deals.  COMMUNICATIONS IS THE KEY TO A SMOOTH TRANSACTION.  Thanks.  

>>>>>> Keep it between the ditches! <<<<<< 

My promise to you eBay sellers is that I will complete my transactions promptly. I feedback when the item is received.

My promise to you eBay buyers is that I will be as fair as possible with shipping fees. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND RECENT POSTAL INCREASE FEES, TRANSPORTATION TO THE POSTOFFICE AND OTHER SUPPLIES NECESSARY TO PACK & SHIP YOUR PURCHASE SAFELY AND PROMPTLY. I try to base the postage on experience as a buyer for five years, plus there are costs that naturally must be passed along, such as the mailing envelope or box, etc. Your purchase will be shipped promptly (presently twice per week or as time allows). I will also try to resolve any issue with you as long as you give me that opportunity. 

Problem?:   If you are a buyer and have difficulty making the payment timely, please contact me and I will try to work with you. If I do not hear from you I will send a reminder note prior to contacting eBay.  I do notify eBay about non-paying, unresponsive bidders. Your ID will be blocked from further transactions and you will receive a non-payer strike.  After that, it is up to eBay what happens to your ability to remain an active member.  Be considerate.
