Terms & Conditions:  
I will not be ending auctions early , nor will I accept private offers, please place your highest bid to win.
I am happy to wait for payment if you are buying more than one record to save on postage
I will always combine postage, please request an invoice if you have finished bidding
To send you an invoice, sometimes I have to go outside of eBay, wrap your parcel up to get the dimensions, put your details into the other website along with the weight and dimensions of your parcel. It can be very timely for me to do and can't always be done on the night of the auctions ending due to my working hours finishing late at night. Invoices are usually sent in the mornings.
Although my working hours are late, I am able to reply to messages, please bear with me
I will refund where possible if you have paid too much postage however, please allow up to £1 towards packaging. I use a mix of new and reused mailers and cardboard to keep postage costs down however, pens, tape, mailers, cardboard and printing labels off costs money and is charged as packaging. 
Although I will endeavour to send your record(s) off within 24 hours, please be aware that I live in a small village, miles away from a Post Office or any other drop off stores which means it might take me a few days to send your parcel off
Most records may just need a wipe over and therefore may be a better grading

Royal Mail Courier Service

I will only use Royal Mail now due to damaged records using EVRI. I may use Yodel or InPost as a back up to save on postage costs.

Royal Mail frequently change their postage prices so please bear with me as I amend the listings along the way

Orders over £75 will need to be sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery to be fully insured

I will only send records tracked and signed-for to avoid records being lost or damaged. This means your parcel will not be left in yours or someone else’s garden as it will need a signature to be delivered.

All records must be insured to cover the full value of your item. Although eBay will refund you for the full amount that you paid, I can only claim back the value it was insured for with the courier.

This is just for you to hear what you're buying. These Video Clips can be found in the Photos section, Just press PLAY


Lost & Damaged Items

If records are lost, I can only refund you once the items have been declared lost by Royal Mail, they won’t let me do it before then in case it turns up. This can take min 10 days. Please be patient if records are taking longer than expected to arrive, It may be due to the postal service and there is not much I can do once it has been sent off this end however, I will always chase it up for you.
