Hatfeathers Vintage Auctions

I only sell items I would be willing to wear myself. I don’t carry items that are in bad shape, mangled or gross. My items are clean or cleanable, free of smoke and pet hair.
Any questionable stains will be noted, if they exist.
Any needed repairs will be noted, as well.

All sales are final, unless it is shown that I have misrepresented an item. Please only bid if you intend to pay.

Measurements
I do not refund for items not fitting. Please know your honest and true measurements, vanity is no excuse. I include several measurements for every item I sell. Compare these to a similarly constructed garment that fits you well…such as shoes to shoes or coat to coat. Consider also any undergarments you would wear, or clothing in the case of coats and jackets.

Note, also, where the waist and hem fall on the item for sale in comparison to something you normally wear. Vintage items were often hand made for a particular wearer, and may not fall within modern standards of length.
If you need a specific measurement that has not been provided, please ask before bidding.

I am an understanding seller, and I value my feedback. I am willing to work with customers on any questions they have about the items I sell.

Shipping
COMBO SHIPPING is usually available. Email for quotes.

I usually ship the day after a PayPal payment is made, or the next day the post office is open, in the case of Sundays and Holidays.
I usually use US Priority Mail, but can use other couriers at the buyer’s request.

I am happy to ship internationally, see INTERNATIONAL BUYERS section below.

Insurance is available to any US buyer, and is the buyer’s responsibility.
Rates start at $1.65. There are options for insurance on international packages. It will be the buyer’s discretion if those are used. I do not self-insure.
All buyers assume the risk if insurance is not purchased.

Payment
Paypal payments must be made within 7 days of the auction close.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
I am willing to ship worldwide.
I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL FROM INTERNATIONAL BUYERS.
Payment is due within 7 days of the auction close.
You will receive a price from the ebay listing for shipping via Airmail Letter or Parcel Post, depending on package size. If you want Express or Economy shipping, I can email you a quote and modified invoice.

No returns on international transactions.

All customs forms will be marked as "used vintage (item type)" with the amount of the winning/purchase price noted.
I DO NOT MARK CUSTOMS FORMS AS "GIFT".
It is not a gift, it is a purchased item, stating otherwise is mail fraud.
You may be responsible for customs taxes and duties on your end in accordance to the laws of your country.

Winning Bidders
Congratulations. You will receive an automatic email from me notifying you that you are the winner. It will include info on contacting me, and how to make your payment.
If you pay by PayPal, I will be notified by them and given your address. I will get your item in the mail the next day. Please make sure your address is correctly noted in your PayPal account. Incorrect addresses will result in delayed shipping.

If you are paying by another method, or have shipping cost questions that need to be addressed first, please contact me within 2 days of the auction close to inform me of your intentions.

Returns
The vintage items we sell are one of a kind. We take great care to describe each item fully and accurately, and we guarantee that each vintage item is authentic to the era specified and not a modern reproduction.
Returns are dealt with on a case by case basis. We are unable to accept returns unless an item is misrepresented. If you feel an item has been misrepresented, you must contact us within 48 hours of receipt of your item to let us know the nature of the problem.
Items which were not paid for within 7 days of auction close will not be considered for return.

Items are listed with several measurements for the garment itself (not the potential wearer) therefore we are unable to accept returns for sizing.

Please wait to hear back from us with return instructions before shipping the item back to us. Items that are allowed to be returned must be shipped within 4 days of original receipt. Buyer pays for shipping and delivery confirmation to return an item. Item must be in the same or similar box, wrapped as it was shipped, and in the same condition as when shipped. Priority boxes are available for free at all US post offices. Upon inspection of the item and comparison with detailed photographs of the items on file, we will refund your purchase price including shipping.
Our inventory tagging MUST still be attached to the item. We cannot accept a return for any reason if our hangtag has been removed.

Sadly, the bad part….
I don’t want to leave anyone a negative feedback, but I will if I have to.
I ask for some contact within 2 days, and payment within 7.
If there has been no contact from you after 2 days, I will email with a reminder.
Another reminder will follow at 5 days. If no contact or payment is made within 7 days of auction close, I will begin the non-paying bidder process and leave a negative feedback.
