Your Sea Islands Trader AUCTION TERMS Payment PayPal is the only form of payment I can accept.  You do not have to be a member nor do you have to join PayPal to use PayPal.  All transactions are in U.S. dollars.  PayPal echecks ship when they clear.  A prompt payment is appreciated and will avoid delays in shipping! Shipping The shipping service offered is based on the type of item being sold, size, weight and destination. Typically, shipping is calculated by eBay's shipping calculator.  Some listings may be flat fee while others may offer free shipping. Unless otherwise noted in the description, shipping includes postage, insurance, delivery confirmation, and a packaging/handling charge. If you believe eBay's calculated shipping rate is in error, please contact me.  Please note, that occasionally the amount calculated by the eBay shipping calculator is insufficient to cover the actual cost of postage and insurance.  I will contact you before proceeding and you will have the choice to proceed at the adjusted price or cancel the sale whereby you will receive an immediate and full refund. Terms of Sale Generally, items are not new and their condition can vary from like new to damaged. The description and pictures will include known and relevant information about the item and if there is any damage or repairs that devalue the item, I will note it in the description.  I try to accurately describe every item but any description of condition is subjective and offered as an opinion - not a statement of fact.  If in doubt, the best thing to do is to ask questions and request additional details.  I post all questions asked and answered. All items are being sold "as is."  If the item you receive is materially different than the item described, then you can return the item for a refund less shipping, etc.  Normal wear, minor imperfections, or negligible scratches, etc are not considered devaluing nor materially important.  I am happy to combine similar type items and/or similar type shipping into one package whenever safely possible and when listings close within a couple days (48 hours).  Listings that have free shipping can only be combined with other similar listings with free shipping.  If you buy more than one item, then please wait to receive an invoice with a combined total. Some items are not available for sale internationally because the item's value does not justify the cost of shipping. I have bought and sold on eBay for years.  I think you will find me fair, honest and professional.  Your satisfaction is important to me.  My feedback is 100% positive!!  When I buy online, I don't like to have problems and I am sure you are the same way.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns before bidding.  If there is any problem after the sale, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I pledge to do my part to make this a "Happy Snappy Sale."    Thank You!
