Welcome to OldeCapeShires AuctionsTo eliminate any questions you might have,
PLEASE READ MY POLICIES
ITEM DESCRIPTION
I make every effort to honestly and accurately describe the details of each items I list on eBay. Many of the objects that I offer on eBay are antique or vintage collectibles, and as such are assumed to be in AS-IS CONDITION. I strive to describe any problems of condition, and welcome any questions that you may have. Please be an informed customer and ask when you are unsure if the item is right for you. Please make a note of the dimensions that I always put in my descriptions.
On items with defects such as chips, scratch marks, breaks, etc., a picture depicting the defect is provided. But please note that some discoloration due to aging, minor flaws, etc., may not be noticeable enough to be captured by my photos. The pictures supersede my statements. Please email me if you need further clarification before you bid.
I note the conditions of each item as Brand New, Mint, Excellent, Very Fine or Good. My definitions of these words are:
BRAND NEW: Have never been used MINT: Item was taken out of its original packing container and gently used - In like brand new condition EXCELLENT: Item has been used very little VERY FINE:Used but above average, normal wear and tear GOOD:Used with normal wear and tear
I ADHERE TO EBAY'S
"NON PAYING BIDDER PROGRAM."
I take my business seriously and vigorously pursue those who bid and do not pay. Please do NOT bid unless you are willing to pay for it if you are the high bidder.
High bidder will receive an eBay invoice ASAP after the auction ends.
PAYMENT
I encourage payment through PayPal. PayPal is available for convenience of paying. It does not guarantee that items will be shipped the following day. I also accept money orders, cashier's check, personal checks and cash. Sorry, but I will not mail your item until your check clears the bank. Payment is due within 10 days of auction ending. Zero Feedback bidders, please allow 5 days after payment before your will ship. Thank you
PACKAGING and SHIPMENT
As I feel that proper packaging is part of the eBay contract with the customer, I promise that all items will be packaged as securely as possible, regardless of the purchase price.
Items will be shipped within (2) two weeks of payment, usually within a week to allow payments to clear.
Items are shipped with Delivery Confirmation - First Class, Media Mail or Parcel Post, unless otherwise stated in the auction.
International shipments are shipped and posted SURFACE which takes six to eight weeks for delivery. At your request bidders will have to pay an additional amount if you would like to have your item delivered by AIRMAIL. Please contact me for SHIPPING COSTS if not previously quoted in your auction.
INSURANCE
Insurance is optional. Any shipping damage is the responsibility of buyer, so I highly recommend insurance. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST OR DAMAGED ITEMS THAT ARE NOT INSURED.
CONCERNING FEEDBACK
I am a strong believer that the eBay experience is based on trust and communication, and I enthusiastically participate in the Feedback system. I give positive feedback on every successful transaction after the buyer has informed me or receipt of the item, and approved the transaction. I am very grateful when a buyer leaves positive feedback for me. I wait till the customer has alerted me that the item has been received and is acceptable and then I leave positive feedback. If you go ahead and leave a happy feedback, I will reciprocate with a very happy comment. I really do strive to describe my items to the best of my ability and I want my customers to be happy. Any problems can be worked out with communication, so I strongly encourage you to contact me in advance with questions or concerns in advance. Placing a bid in my auction, constitutes that you have read and agreed with my terms of the auction. Otherwise, please do not bid in my auctions if you do not accept the written terms and guidelines. Placing a bid and ignoring my terms, then leaving a negative feedback because you do not agree or accept my terms, may constitute slander and liable in some States. I am a happy person, so please make this a happy and positive experience. Grumpy and miserable people are NOT allowed to bid in my auctions, so please find another auction to bid in. I do not need your money that badly to put up with your tormenting personality. Thank you.
Your bid is a contract. I do not give refunds due to remorse. Unless expressly noted under the item description, ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS.
