I do combine shipping. Let me know and I will hold your items until you are finished bidding.
Be assured that your purchases will be packed with the utmost care. Your purchase may be cushioned with egg cartons or other unconvential packing, but that is my contribution to recycling.
I usually ship USPS parcel post, media mail, or first class mail. I will ship Priority if the buyer wishes. Please ask if you have special requests; I will work with you all I can.
I always ship on the very next mail day after payment is received --- or the same day if payment comes early enough to make the mail.
My Pet Peeve is eBay's DSR ratings. It would appear that a 4 out of 5 is a good rating, but it is not. Rating averages (for the past 30 days) falling below 3.75 are considered in the warning area. It is easy to see that a 4 or two can bring a seller's rating down considerably. Even though I ship as soon as possible, I still do not always get a 5 for shipping. :-(
Most seller's lowest feedback comes because of shipping costs. Many buyers do not realize the high costs of eBay and PayPal fees, postage, delivery confirmation, packing materials such as tape and bubble wrap, and trips to the post office. PayPal even takes a percentage of the postage amount the buyer pays, so with exact postage, the seller loses money. Between a fourth and a third of sales goes to eBay and Paypal. I usually add $1.50 as handling charge, and at that I mostly just break even or lose money -- not even considering the original cost of the item.
Please look at all my auctions, and add me to your favorite seller's list.
Thank you in advance for your bids, payments, and good feedback.
