THE FINE PRINT
:
Most of the items I sell are estate pieces. Accordingly, most always they will show some sign of use. I try diligently to well describe each item I sell. My over 21-year 100% positive feedback is a testament to that. eBay will automatically engage its bidder assistant program on items that remain unpaid 8 days after the sale. I can only ship to the address provided on your PayPal payment.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS
:
Delivery confirmation required. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country' s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up. Do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts"
- US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Please don't ask.
The
cost of insuring your item against breakage or loss will not be reflected in your postage label
,
because I use a third-party insurer.
IN CASE OF DAMAGE
:
Items are well-packed and insured. In the unlikely event of your having to file a claim,
photos
of the breakage and shipping box, along with packing materials
must
be
provi
de
d
to prove the item was well packed
or my insurance company will limit coverage to 0.
So if you have a problem, contact me immediately, and
don't throw anything away!
