Now Voyager More Things I Will Be Selling
Old U.S. and foreign coins; clothing from my own wardrobe (dresses, blouses, slips, sweaters, blazers, skirts, suits, purses, scarves, shoes, unworn bathing suits). Clothing has either never been worn (some items still have labels/extra buttons attached) or worn VERY little. Have you ever bought a dress because you loved it, forgetting to notice that it was not very becoming on you – or has your weight changed just enough so that perfect suit you bought last year now fits a little oddly? And what about those adorable shoes you had to have that never did stop pinching your toes? Oh, well! May you benefit from my shopping misadventures! Clothing has been cleaned and is in a condition suitable for return to the store – if it were not too late.
Business InformationPayment policy
Payment in U.S. funds must be received no later than 7 days of auction close. My preferred method of payment is PayPal. I also accept U.S. bank cashiers checks, U.S. Postal Service money orders, International Postal money orders, and personal checks (up to $20). After you have been declared the winning bidder, you’ll receive my invoice listing payment address and total amount due including item price, shipping fees and optional insurance cost. After your payment has been confirmed, you’ll hear from me again when I’ll let you know that your item is on its way!
Shipping information
You, the lucky winner, pay shipping costs. I, the lucky seller, ship orders to a confirmed mailing address in the U.S. via U.S. First Class Mail, Priority Mail, and Priority Mail Flat Rate and worldwide via U.S. Priority Mail. I’ll include shipping fees in the auction listing.
I’ll provide buyer with a tracking number, if applicable, and an anticipated delivery date. Sorry, but I don’t redirect shipments, send shipments to another addressee, or ship Overnight, Rush or Express mail. I do, however, offer shipping discounts on combined purchases.
Return policy
OK, so you got what you were so excited about buying and, well, you’re not so excited anymore. Calm down! This is what we'll do. You’ll E-mail me to tell me that you hate what you bought and can’t wait to get it out of the house. I’ll say, “OK, just return the recalcitrant item within 7 days after it reached your once-happy home.” Next, I’ll refund you the item’s purchase price less shipping and optional insurance fees. I might even send you a picture of what you gave up.
The second scenario, albeit an unlikely one, is that you received the wrong item or you received the correct item, but it doesn’t quite agree with my description. You want to return it. So be it. Within 2 days of your having received the item, let me know about the problem and you may send it back (again, within the 7 days of your getting the item). I’ll refund you the item’s purchase price and both the initial and return shipping costs. This time you won’t be getting a picture.

Shipping insurance
I actually like to pack things for shipping and take it as a point of pride that my packages are able to withstand the terrors of their time in transit; however, if you really, really love what you bought and it’s fragile, you may want to purchase shipping insurance. If you decide not to purchase shipping insurance and your package is lost in the mail or damaged during shipping, I don’t issue refunds. You do have the option of refusing delivery of a damaged package -- then it’s USPS’s responsibility. Insurance is surprisingly inexpensive. Cost is based on the final price of the item and you’re covered for the item’s actual value at the time and place of mailing. USPS insurance rates are available at: www.usps.com/insurance/welcome
