Description

USA BIDDERS - PLEASE READ - starting in October, E-bay has decided they know best what a seller can charge for shipping records to the USA.
                                                   E-bay is imposing a maximum price of $4.00 to mail any single record.
                                                   In their wisdom, E-bay does not differentiate weight difference between a 7 inch 45, a 78 rpm record or an LP/12" record.
                                                   It's $4.00 for any & all formats !!
                                                   If a seller does not offer the dictated price, the item WILL NOT BE SHOWN to potential bidders in the USA.I believe this is
                                                   true for 'Buy It Now' & also store items.
                                                   I cannot afford to send LP's & 12" records to the USA for a shipping cost of only $4.00.
                                                   My actual Canada Post cost for one LP/12" is $8.55 Canadian (approx. $7.70 US). I also use commercial mailing boxes
                                                   purchased from Bags Unlimited, which cost me more than $1.35 each.
                                                   E-bay suggests to sellers that any loss ( in my case $5.50) be added to the starting price of the item!!
                                                   To me, the only thing that does is put more money into the coffers of E-bay by increasing my insertion & final value fees.
                                                   I will not be adding my loss to the initial price of the item.
                                                   Therefore, regrettably, come October (E-bay has not given an actual date) my LP's/12" records will not be shown to US
                                                   bidders.
                                                   In closing, I would like to greatly thank all my American customers who have supported me over the years.
                                                   MUCH RESPECT Greg Lawson
