Seller's right to cancel transactions: To protect myself from gross shipping cost calculation errors, mishaps, and other unforeseeable adverse circumstances, I reserve the right to cancel any transaction.  If payment has been made already, I will request a transaction cancellation through eBay and refund payment in full after the buyer confirms cancellation. Please rest assured that I never want to exercise this right but will do so to prevent financial loss. Sales tax:  Illinois residents must pay sales tax (6.5%). I am licensed to do business in the state of Illinois, business authorization #3511-8741, and I pay sales tax on all sales to Illinois residents. Shipping:  Buyer pays for shipping. The shipping charge and service are given below.  You may need to enter your zip code to obtain an estimate.  Shipping includes door-to-door tracking and insurance for the purchase price.  There is no handling fee for most items shipped within the US.  A modest fee is assessed to international shipments becuase of their higher cost and risk.  For large or especially fragile items, a handling fee is sometimes assessed to cover time and materials.  (Or I may establish a higher minimum price to cover these expenses.)  I will gladly provide tracking numbers for items over $100, if requested.  I'll track down delayed deliveries for any item, if the item hasn’t been received 7-10 days after I shipped it (UPS ground delivery takes up to 6 days - please wait a little longer for international mail).  In the event of damage or loss, please cooperate and assist with the claim investigation by the carrier. I will reimburse the buyer after I am reimbursed by the carrier. This will be shipped by UPS or USPS, depending on the item size, your shipping address, whether this is described as fixed or calculated shipping, etc.  Large items are UPS only.  International buyers, please use the estimator before placing a bid - international shipping is expensive, and you should be prepared to pay for the shipping service that meets Paypal seller protection requirements and provides for full insurance coverage.  If the actual shipping cost is significantly lower than the amount charged, I will refund the difference.  To manage my time effectively, I ship in batches, usually 2-4 times per week.  I make every effort to ship within 2-3 days of receiving payment and nearly always abide by the 7-day shipping standard set by Paypal.  I am a one-man operation, selling on eBay part-time, and I live in a very old house that sometimes demands copious amounts of my time without warning, so please forgive the occasional deviation from this standard.  I understand that you expect to receive your item promptly and give priority to meeting my obligations.  I generally do not allow local pickup, unless you have a very compelling reason, or the item is difficult to ship.  Local pickup, when approved, is not subject to a handling fee, but Paypal is not accepted for local pickup.   If you want to pay with Paypal, then you need to pay for shipping.  No exceptions, until Paypal modifies its seller protection policy (currently, if I don't have a carrier tracking number, I have no Paypal protection from chargebacks).  Unless stated in the description, please ask whether local pickup is allowed for this item.  Multiple items won within a 2-day period will be combined for shipping if possible.  In such cases, please do not pay until you receive a combined eBay invoice for the items.  Each additional item generally will be $1-2 above the cost of shipping the first item.  Size, weight, and value all affect shipping costs, so this discount will not apply in all cases and I do not guarantee that all multiple winnings will be combined.  Payment:  I accept the forms of payment shown below.  Payment in full is expected within 10 days, after which I will file a non-paying bidder notification with eBay.  I will gladly close these disputes after payment is received (I just want to be paid, and if I can't get paid then I want my eBay fees back).  I do not accept installment or time payments except by prior arrangement (before you bid or purchase). I rigorously follow PayPal requirements for seller charge-back protection.  That means I accept only payments from the countries that are covered by paypal seller protection and ship only to the address shown on the paypal transaction record.  I will not make exceptions, regardless of your feedback or other circumstances.       Shipments to APOs do not meet paypal requirements for on-line delivery confirmation, so unfortunately, I cannnot ship to military addresses.  If you are unable to provide an alternate address for the paypal transaction, please do not purchase from me.  International bidders: I ship only to countries covered by Paypal seller protection.  Normal international shipping method is by UPS Standard to Canada and USPS Global Priority or Express to other countries (UPS is also available to other international destinations on request, but it's ridiculously expensive so I have yet to receive a request).  I will attempt to provide a more economical service if possible, but Paypal seller protection requirements override all other concerns.  Insurance is at the buyers expense and you must pay for the carrier and service that provides coverage for the purchase price.  (Please note that the USPS insurance limit for mail to Canada is $675, so UPS must be used for more expensive purchases to that destination.)  I will accept returns from international buyers in the case of gross error on my part, but international postage is not refundable.  International shipping is expensive, so please be prepared for carrier and customs costs before you bid!!  Customs documents will not be falsified.  Ever.  I have no control over customs and brokerage fees (charged by UPS) and cannot predict those for you in advance.  Return Policy:  Unless the item is described as sold "as is," "not guaranteed to work," "for parts," or similar language, I will cheerfully accept returns and issue refunds.  Please meet these simple conditions to be eligible for a refund:  notify me of your intent to return the item within 7 calendar days of receiving it (as documented in carrier delivery records), and return it safely, in the condition in which I sent it, within 14 days of receiving the item.  I normally do not reimburse postage costs but may do so if my description contained a gross error or omission.  International postage is not refundable (both delivery and return are at the buyer's expense).      Disclosure of Flaws: most of the items I sell are used.  If I don't say "mint," which I use only rarely, expect to find minor flaws and maybe a bit of grime. I examine my offerings as carefully as time permits, describe and photograph them to the best of my ability, and post additional information I recieve during the course of the auction.  I am not an expert on everything, and from time to time I inadvertantly overlook flaws or characteristics important to collectors, either through unfamiliarity or haste.    If you're considering a bid on this item, it may be because you collect it.  In that case, you probably know more about it than I do.  Please ask whatever questions are needed to verify its correctness and condition before bidding.  If additional photos are needed, I will gladly provide them if I have time.  My ignorance of some subtle aspect of a rare collectible does not constitute a gross error or omission.  In such cases, I may accept a return and refund your money, but postage will not be refunded.   Cleanliness:  I work out of my home, and most of what I list is in my living space.  As a result, I generally clean items thoroughly before bringing them inside, so unless stated or pictured otherwise, you can depend on your purchase to arrive without excessive soiling and grime.  Feedback:  I leave positive feedback for prompt hassle-free transactions, but please be patient.  I give priority to running auctions and shipping purchases, and there are only so many hours in the day.  I usually work on feedback once or twice per month, but polite reminders will probably prompt me into action.    If there is any problem with the invoice or item, or my terms or instructions are unclear, please contact me first, and I will do my best to clarify what I’ve said or correct any deficiency in a mutually agreeable manner. You are dealing with an honest seller, and I want you to be happy with your purchase and the conduct of the transaction.      You will note that my feedback record is not perfect, but I hope you will find it exemplary nonetheless.  You can trust me to value your business and respond fairly to problems.  If you are dissatisfied, I hope that you will contact me first before leaving feedback. If you don't think you got what I described, please suggest a resolution, and we'll go from there.  If I do not accept your proposed resolution, you still have the option of returning the item promptly for a refund, subject to the return terms given above. (Items sold "as is" are not returnable under any circumstances.)      Please be generous when rating my performance.  Although eBay describes a score of "4" as good, sellers with an average performance of 4 are suspended by eBay.  Your consideration and assistance in maintaining my excellent track record (and keeping my account viable) is appreciated.     <Terms updated on 10/15/2008.> Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool.
