"My goal is to make your buying experience as pleasant as possible................and you have my word on it !"
MY SIMPLE TERMS
COMMUNICATION IS THE "KEY" TO A MUTUALLY SUCCESSFUL TRANSACTION !
Every attempt is made by me to describe all of my items to the best of my knowledge, observation, & ability, but I'm not, [& don't claim to be], an expert in all things. This much, however, I can & will promise to each & everyone of you all out there......mainly that, I'll NEVER, EVER EVER attempt to deceive anyone intentionally, nor mislead or misrepresent anything knowingly. I usually always include a multitude of pictures with all of my items to properly represent them as they are. Sometimes, however, the pictures don't do the item justice, due to improper lighting conditions, etc., & so, I am always willing to offer more for the asking,.... so, please, do "ASK SELLER QUESTION" or questions ...Before you Bid.
SCRUTINIZE ALL THE PHOTOS, & JUDGE FOR YOUSELF & IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK... [B4 U BID / NOT AFTERWARDS]... PLEASE DO NOT "ASSUME" ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS. &, IF additional pictures are needed please send me your email address and I will get them to you. PLEASE CORRESPOND VIA "MY MESSAGES" ONLY...[TO AVOID MISSED MESSAGES because of SPAM FILTERS].
COMMUNICATION HERE IS THE ...."KEY"
IF YOU SHOULD BE THE LUCKY 'WINNING BIDDER',
PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE FIRST
THEN KINDLY CONTACT ME WITHIN 3 DAYS... [with your intended "method-of-payment-choice" ...via CHECKOUT or MY MESSAGES].
IF PAYING WITH PAYPAL, KINDLY PAY WITHIN 7 DAYS
IF PAYING WITH A MONEY ORDER,... [THE MONEY ORDER SHOULD ONLY BE A USPS MONEY ORDER, & ALSO BE SENT PROMPTLY ENOUGH IN TIME FOR IT... TO BE RECEIVED BY ME WITHIN 10 DAYS]....[otherwise, notify me of the reason for delay in advance]. ANY OTHER-TYPE MONEY ORDERS WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU, & THE TRANSACTION CANCELLED DUE TO NONCOMPLIANCE & THE ITEM WILL BE THEN OFFERED TO THE NEXT BIDDER......[or relisted]
SHIPPING & HANDLING:
CALCULATED SHIPPING USING THE CALCULATOR INCLUDES TOTAL & APPLIES MAINLY TO THE LOWER 48 STATES ONLY.
SHIPPING TO ALASKA, HAWAII, GUAM, OR PUERTO RICO IS NOT EXCLUDED, &/BUT MAY BE "EXTRA" & A QUOTE MUST BE REQUESTED BEFORE YOU BID. THE SAME APPLIES TO ALL INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS INCLUDING CANADA.
SHIPPING:
I'll usually combine shipping of multiple items WHEN POSSIBLE...[i.e., I won't ship an anvil & a glass together]. Additionally, I pack all items securely, [as if they were being sent to myself]. Shipping costs are also not refundable in the rare event of a return...only your bid amount...[i.e., unless extenuating circumstances exist, which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
INSURANCE:
INSURANCE IS ALWAYS "OPTIONAL", & ENTIRELY YOUR CHOICE .IT'S NEVER MANDATORY, [with exception], ALWAYS AVAILABLE, "OPTIONAL", & YOUR DECISION [so, please, DO NOT ASK FOR ANY REFUND OF YOUR MONEY, IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO PAY FOR INSURANCE...[I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE IN TRANSIT].
PLEASE NOTE: NOTHING IS OFFERED ON AN "APPROVAL-BASIS"...[aka "BUYER'S REMORSE"]
IMPORTANT: [I'll say it AGAIN]: COMMUNICATION IS THE "KEY" TO A MUTUALLY SUCCESSFUL TRANSACTION !
AS MUCH AS I WISHNOT TOEXCLUDE ANYONE FROM BIDDING, ....IF YOUR MEMBER ID FEEDBACK PROFILE INDICATES THAT... you're a bidder who is... 'NO LONGER A REGISTERED USER' &/or ... a bidder with Private, Zero, or recent / excessive Negative non-pay Feedback, ... YOU MUST: Contact me first BEFORE bidding...via 'ASK SELLER QUESTION'...& INFORM ME OF YOUR INTENTION BEFORE YOU BID... Should you choose to ignore this simple request, ...YOUR SUCCESSFUL WINNING BID WILL MOST LIKELY BE REMOVED / CANCELLED, ...& YOU'LL BE AUTOMATICALLY RESTRICTED / BLOCKED FROM ANY FUTURE BIDDING. This is a SIMPLE REQUEST & ONLY APPLIES TO THOSE WHO FALL IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED GROUPS,... WHO DO NOT CONTACT ME FIRST
So please keep in mind here, I DO welcome ALL bids,...& ...If you're Sincere & Wish to bid...., I'll Allow it.... BUT, the KEY here is... to ASK FIRST ...to inform me of your Interest, Situation, &/or Intention. [IT'S ONLY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW YOU], SO, IF YOU SIMPLY CANNOT COMPLY, please, ... "DO NOT BID
As for Negative or Neutral-non-positive Feedback:
I do welcome your positive & less-than-positive feedback & any constructive critisim, if justly merited, since it allows me room to improve myself. The fact that I always strive for 100% customers satisfaction still prevents me from promising you that nothing will ever go wrong....[ it's called "LIFE"].... if you are unsatisfied about anything regarding the purcase of an item, please do not hesitate to contact me immediately first ! Since Ebay will not now allow sellers to leave a negative comment anymore if there's a transaction gone arrawy, just leaving me a Negative or Neutral feedback without first contacting me about the issue, or without give me a chance TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM ....will only result in your being blocked permanantly from bidding on any future items of mine. Doing such a thing also would be the last thing in the world, I would want to do....but, Ebay itself has forced me to take this extreme stance & measure as a direct result of their recent new change of policy towards Sellers, regarding sellers ability to leave equally justifiable feedback.....So, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.....[I aim to please]....... CONTACT ME FIRST !
Please remember to leave feedback when you receive your item, so I'll know you got it & are happy with it. IF, however,for some reason, you 'feel the urge' to leave a negative or neutral-non-positive feedback statement, PLEASE, communicate with me FIRST of your disatisfaction, so I may 'know' & 'attempt to rectify' any disappointments. I simply ...CAN'T FIX WHAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
Again, all items are sold As-Is, as most items listed are used/vintage, & any cleaning that needs to be done will be the responsibility of the buyer. I describe things the way I see them, & if I have described something wrong, please correct me,..... or if you have additional questions or need more photos, please ask before bidding.
ALWAYS STRIVING & INTENT...TO CONDUCT BUSINESS IN A SMOOTH AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER & HOPING TO KEEP IT A SIMPLE & REWARDING EVENT FOR THE WINNING BIDDER,.... I AGAIN "THANK YOU! " FOR VISITING MY AUCTION ITEM! & ........GL2EV1.]
I'm fairly new at E-bay, having less than 100 purchases. In the short amount of time I've been here, been disapointed a couple of times, surprised beyond beleif a couple of times, and picked up a couple of really nice places to spend my bucks. Recently, I decided to purchase some vintage eye frames to replace my current ones. I finally won an auction, and when I received the purchase, I was disapointed, not realizing that I had to be extra careful with sizing of eye glass frames, particularly if I'm buying frames that some little old granny used to wear back in the 1940's-1950's. I'm 5'8" and fairly stocky. Needless to say, the frames had to go back. I contacted the seller, Lynn at RAGSNROSES, and boy, did I get the surprise of my life. I had anticipated that I would be hasseled, but instead this lady rocked! NOT A PROBLEM!!!! I shipped them back to her and she refunded my money plus shipping the next instant AND.... she even refunded my cost to ship the frames back to her. IS THAT COOL OR WHAT???? Talk about customer service, this E-bayer had single handedly did more for me as far as customer service than any of the other 80+ purchases that I have made, and I am very happy to sing her praises. PUT HER ON YOUR LIST OF STORES TO SHOP!!!!
