Postcard Shipping Rates & Policies
(Unless otherwise stated in listing)
USA: $1.25 for first card, all others shipped on same order, free.

Large lots (domestic): Shipping will usually be a flat rate, based on size of lot. I normally ship these priority.
Large lots (international): Shipping for international orders will usally be calculated based on weight and shipping location. This can get VERY expensive, please be sure you are aware of the shipping rates before bidding. Some lots may be flat rate, check the listing. I usually ship these first class international.
I ship within one business day of receiving payment.
If Buying Multiple Postcards or Photos.....
I give shipping discounts for multiple purchases on the same order. If you're interested in more than one card or photo, it's well worth it to buy them at the same time.
The best thing to do is wait to pay until I send you a combined invoice. The invoice will reflect the total price for the items + the discounted shipping cost.
If I send you an invoice & you want to buy another postcard or photo, go ahead - I'll simply add it to the list and send you a revised invoice.
When you've finished buying items and once you've recieved the invoice with all the items you've purchased, you can pay for them all at once and get the shipping discount.
What Happens If You Don't Pay
The vast majority of buyers pay promptly, many times before I even realize an item is sold.
For the very few who dont pay, this is generally what happens. After 7 days, I will send out a reminder. At any point after that I'll start eBay's non-paying buyer process, probably sooner rather than later.
The reason I do this is because I am charged a final value fee based on the selling price of the item. eBay collects that fee a the time of the sale. If a buyer chooses not pay, the only way I can get that refunded is to file an NPB dispute.
Rating Postcards
Rating cards is frequently a judgement call, and mine may differ from yours. The best thing to do is look at the pictures I provide. Each card listed has a picture of front and back, and can be supersized. Its best to supersize the pictures, take a close look, and make your own decision. Pay special attention to corners and edges.
The following is how I go about rating postcards. I have no kind of training in doing this, I simply looked online to find some guidelines, saw how others did it & took it from there. One site I used was www.postcardy.com. There are several others.
Here is what I mean by my card ratings:
-
Mint - card is new or looks like it is fresh from the postcard factory, where they are made by elves. Perfect picture with bright colors & bright back, sharp corners, unused, no flaws. As of this writing, and most other of my writings, I have no mint cards.
- Near Mint - card may be in mint condition, but I don't quite have the confidence to say so. I have a few of these.
- Excellent - card has sharp corners, bright, clear picture, may be postally used or have writing on the back. No writing on front.
- Very Good - card will have minor corner and/or edge wear, may have small creases but nothing that interferes with the picture. It may have writing on the back & be postally used, there will be no writing on front.
- Good - card will have noticeable corner and edge wear. Corners may be rounded or blunt, there may be larger corner creases. It may be postally used, and it may have a small amount of writing on front. None of this will interfere with the overall picture.
- Fair - These cards will be intact, but may have large creases, excess soiling, staining or other defects, and these may interfere with the picture. I don't normally sell cards which I think are in less than good conditon. If I do list one, I make it abundantly clear.
