eBay My World: cds49753( 853)

I have been collecting stamps since grade school days when my father thought it wise for me to spend my allowance on something other than candy and junk. About 45 years later, I am still at it. Early day memories of stamp collecting include walking a mile each way to the local city stamp/coin store on Saturday mornings, and attending the city stamp club meetings on Wednesday nights, or the best was to take the public transit bus for $0.50 or less to Downtown Detroit's J.L Hudson building. The Stamp Department was on the mezzanine of this classy building that was demolished some years ago. An unfortunate decision in the name of urban development. I try to offer stamps for all collecting budgets, so beginning collectors and advanced collectors can find an item to fill that open space in their stamp album. I try to offer detailed descriptions to include some history, catalog values, known faults, and pictures. I want winning bidders to be pleasantly surprised with purchases.

Starting in October 2008, eBay will no longer allow me to list checks or money orders as an accepted payment method in my item descriptions. BUT, eBay does allow buyers to pay for items with checks or money orders if agreed upon with the seller. United States Postal Service (USPS) money orders have always been a preferred alternate method to PayPal for payment. Contact me if you prefer this alternate payment method.

Combined S/H discount is available on items won over five (5) days; contact seller before paying per individual item invoices. Many options are available for shipment of items to include: USPS 1st Class (Domestic) Mail, USPS Priority (Domestic) Mail, USPS 1st Class International Mail, USPS Priority International Mail, and UPS. Registered/Insured shipping is also available. My policy states winning orders ship within three (3) days of receiving cleared payments. My practice has been to ship the same or next day if payment is received on weekdays, and the following business day if payment is received on weekends or holidays. So don't ding me on feedback if the item does not arrive as quickly as you think it should have... Consider how quickly I ship your item from the time of cleared payment (1-3 days). If you want quicker delivery, then select/pay for faster carrier service. All items ship in cardboard mailers (envelopes) to better protect your purchases.

Uninsured items lost or damaged during shipment are not eligible for refund. Returned items must be in the original condition, as listed/pictured in the item description. Return shipping cost is the responsibility of the winning bidder, and will not be refunded. Contact seller before returning any item(s) to arrange for refund, exchange, credit, and/or other agreement.
