HELLO! EVERY EBAY SELLER HAS THEIR OWN UNIQUE TERMS OF SALE, SO PLEASE TAKE JUST A MOMENT TO READ THE ENTIRE LISTING PAGE TEXT AND TO ACCEPT ALL OF OUR TERMS BEFORE PLACING A BID TO HELP AVOID ANY FUTURE MISUNDERSTANDINGS. REMEMBER, BY PURCHASING OR PLACING A BID YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS IN ADVANCE. THANK YOU!
GENERAL INFORMATION:
I can often combine like items that close within a three day period to save you money on shipping costs. Just pay the individual shipping costs at checkout, let me know which items you want shipped together, and I will package and ship your items in one box, if possible, and then refund any over-payment of shipping costs back to your PayPal account after your package has shipped and I know the exact postage, insurance and packaging materials cost. Combining items for shipping will usually be less expensive than the total sum of the individual shipping costs. Exceptions are some international shipments and some large Priority Mail and over-sized domestic packages.
Please note that my hundreds of weekly listed items come from many different sources. While ours is a smoke, furred and feathered pet free home, some items may have come from homes or businesses with smokers and/or pets. If you are very sensitive to these issues, please contact me before bidding on an item.
All items are guaranteed to be as described and to arrive in that same condition. However, because I offer many different kinds of items, many in used and/or vintage condition, including vintage photographic, electrical and electronic components and equipment, all items are sold without additional or extended warranty of any kind.
SHIPPING CHARGES & SCHEDULE:
Sellers are ONLY allowed to ship items to your registered address as provided to us by PayPal with your payment. Please do NOT ask me to ship to a different address, as I will not. The auction winner will pay shipping charges as shown in the eBay shipping calculator below. Most items shipped through the USPS include Tracking for your protection. I do allow free local pick-up by appointment only, subject to my availability, in Escondido, CA 92029.
I ship twice each week, normally on Wednesday and Friday (subject to change for occasional holidays, vacations, family obligations, etc.). Your cleared payment (Remember, PayPal e-checks can take up to ten days to clear) must be received before 5PM Pacific Time the day before a shipping day to ship that next day. That means that depending upon the day of the week that your payment is received, your item will ship between one to three business-days after receipt of your cleared payment, making my average handling time just 1.5 business days.
Because of this twice weekly shipping schedule, I am not normally able to offer rush next day or expedited shipping, but you may certainly ask to upgrade your shipping to a faster shipping method at additional cost if you need to receive an item quickly.
USPS & FED-EX SHIPPING TIMES:
Please understand that I have no control over carrier shipping times. Allow the following average shipping times depending upon your distance from CA 92025 and the shipping method that you selected and/or paid for. USPS Media Mail averages 3-10 business-days, but can sometimes take up to four weeks. USPS Standard Post averages 3-9 business-days, but can take up to three weeks. USPS Priority Mail averages 1-3 business-days, but can take up to one week. USPS First Class Mail averages 1-5 business days, but can take up to two weeks. Fed-Ex ground averages 1-6 business days, but can sometimes take longer. Please do not give me less than a five star rating because of the sometimes slow USPS shipping.
PAYMENT& SALES TAX:
I accept PayPal only, unless you are local and can pay cash upon pick-up in Escondido, CA 92029. State law requires all CA ship-to addresses and local pick-ups to add the current CA state sales tax to the bid amount. I do not sell wholesale and therefore do NOT waive sales tax for resellers with CA BOE permits. Your PayPal payment is due within three days after the end of the auction. All sales are considered final.
CANADIAN & INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS:
I do ship many, but not all items internationally. Check the shipping calculator below to see if I ship this item to your country.
International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. 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 or buying.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE USPS DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY PACKAGE TRACKING NUMBER WITH INTERNATIONAL FIRST CLASS OR PRIORITY MAIL. I WILL, HOWEVER, PROVIDE YOU WITH THE USPS CUSTOMS FORM NUMBER. I HOPE THAT YOUR ITEM ARRIVES QUICKLY, BUT PLEASE ALLOW UP TO FIVE WEEKS TRANSIT TIME FOR THE SOMETIMES SLOW INTERNATIONAL MAIL.
EMAIL NOTICES, QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK
: Please try to email any questions at least 48 hours before the end of auction to allow me time to respond. PayPal will send you a dated confirmation of your payment to me and I will ship your item the very next twice weekly shipping day after receipt of your cleared payment. Please rest assured that I will always attempt to ship exactly as described in these terms, your acceptance of which is a binding condition of bidding on my auctions. I am always very happy to leave feedback after I see that you have first done so for me, as that is the only way I can know that the transaction is completed to your satisfaction. Thank you very much!
This is a single postcard listing for an early Black / African American themed card from 1900-1910 range.    I have similar postcards being listed today.    Please give all of my postcard listings a look.
Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks.
THE FINE PRINT AND FAQS:
1. Carefully examine my studio-quality photographs.  I do my best to document any flaws or issues. I tend to go overboard in showing flaws.  I hate surprises when I buy on eBay as much as you do.     I also do my best to accurately describe the items I find.  Some categories I know better than others.  I will tell you what I know and what I have researched.  After that you are on your own.  Please ask questions and I will help out if I can. Some eBayers have been very generous helping me out with the nuances of certain categories.  Feel free to help me out with your knowledge.    I welcome your expertise and enjoy learning about new stuff.
2.  I would like payment with 48 hours of your auction win.  If for some reason you can not meet that time frame, please let me know within that 48 hours and I will work with you.  No more writing into the void of the eBay message form to winners and not getting a response for weeks.  If you can not meet this requirement, please do not bid.
3. I basically sell "As Is."    That said, I will accept returns if I have been negligent in my listing information.  This includes outright mistakes, misrepresentations,  or any errors on my part. I do not know everything about everything (don't tell my kids that please).  If you are not sure about something and want to "try it out" at home before having "Buyer's remorse," please do not bid.   Every auction or estate sale I go to is "as is." I do better than that with my return policy.    I mess up once in a while and I have honored all returns.  Please respect this policy.
4. I do not end auctions early unless you are offering to pay off my mortgage -- both 1st and 2nd.     I am not going to end an auction early for a lower-than-opening bid.  If an item does not sell in auction I will typically relist as a Buy Now It with a small price bump --- sometimes with an offer option. In that case, feel free to offer away.
5.  I will combine shipping cost when possible.  If you pay first after winning more than one lot, I will refund some of the shipping cost. Or wait until I send an invoice.  Your choice.
5. Have fun.   And keep communication lines open before and after the auction.
