BIDDING:

Terms must be agreed before bidding. I reserve the right to remove bids from buyers with low feedback. Get in touch if you need to!

PAYMENT:
Payment is by Paypal only!

(EBay users without Paypal cannot bid on my items).
Please ALWAYS wait for your invoice, especially if you have won multiple items because I may need to calculate the shipping.
Payment must be completed within 4 days of end of auction (or items may be re-listed). Please contact me before bidding if you cannot do this.
(I can make special arrangements as long as I know what you want!)

I DO NOT LIKE OPENING RESOLUTIONS FOR LATE PAYMENT SO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM

Refunds:
I will gladly refund where an amicable settlement is reached.
I do not automatically refund for accidental damage or loss in transit.

I do not refund for Postal Costs.

Feedback:
I can only leave positive feedback (or none) but I think good buyers should receive good feedback.
In return I try to provide the best service and I ask that you leave positive feedback for me if you are happy with my service. Remember it's still voluntary!

Star Ratings:
This is more than just an add-on, it's a method to enforce sellers to trade to eBay standards. Buyers can give sellers marks for 'item as described', 'shipping time', 'shipping cost' and 'communication'.
VERY IMPORTANT

Sellers are required to maintain an average of over 4.5 stars for each category. This means that anything less than a 5 star rating actually counts against the seller (though you may not have meant it to). This is not made clear to buyers so that's why I'm telling you now.
Shipping cost:

My prices are clearly marked on the table above and you should not have any complaint about that after the sale.
Item As Described:

My Gradings are only VISUAL.This is for the Vinyl only unless stated.

I try my best to make my descriptions as accurate as possible but mistakes can happen. I GUARANTEE my items, so if you have any problem contact me & I will look for an amicable solution.
Shipping time:

I try to ship on the earliest day possible & I will let you know if there are any problems or delays .Overseas buyers please take into consideration any public holidays, etc and be patient as the post can be very slow at times.
Communication:

I try to respond as soon as possible.

Problems:
I would consider it rude if you go straight to eBay or Paypal before contacting me. Remember eBay are not selling you this item; I am! Any refunds or claims for damage will have to come from my pocket. If for ANY reason you are unhappy with my service, or if anything goes wrong, please contact me first and we will try to solve the problem together. I'm here to help you. I want to keep you happy so please contact me with any questions at any time.

Thanks to all our customers!
