For shipping within the United States:
Shipping
costs, including insurance are now included as part of the item cost
and not shown separately. The opening
bid or buy it now price now takes into consideration what it will cost
me to ship this to you
for "FREE" as well as the value of the item. Shipping is not free for
me, I still have to pay for it so I have to include it as part of the
overall cost of the item.
With
the new seller final value fees ebay is charging sellers on separate
line item shipping
costs, this pretty much forces sellers to offer "FREE" shipping or incur
a penalty fee if they keep the cost of shipping separate from the item.
As much as I dislike having to include shipping in the cost of the
item, I feel forced to do so.
For
auction style listings, keep in mind the price of the item at the end
of the auction is the total you will pay. No additional shipping costs
are added. If you live in PA, sales tax will be added to the total.
For
Fixed Price listings, Make
an offer and I will consider the offer you give me based on where you
live (your zip code) and how much it will cost me to ship it to you as
well as the value of the item you are making an offer on. Because
shipping costs vary greatly depending where you live in relation to me,
the closer you live to me, the better I might be able to do on price. I
have to include shipping costs at the highest rates for my customers on
the West Coast. I do know and understand that it will not cost as much
to ship if you live on the east coast.
As
the seller of this item, I reserve the right to ship this using my
choice of USPS Priority Mail, Parcel Post, or UPS. If you want a certain
method of shipping, please state that in any offer you might make on
the item.
International Buyers
Shipping is NOT FREE
I
only ship International using Priority Mail. I DO NOT use First Class
because it does not provide tracking and there is no seller protection
against charge-backs for items that buyers indicate they did not
receive. Please do not email and ask me to ship first class mail.
International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes and charges are not
included in the item price or shipping charges. 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/buying.
These
charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping)
company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for
additional shipping charges.
I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" -
US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
