Old WB Loonie Tunes Cartoons Hey Dave, what's KC8IAQ stand for?
Oh, you must be looking at my ebay ID. That is my HAM Radio call-sign. Every HAM has a unique call sign, and other HAM's can recognise them, so they get used like that alot on email and stuff. Ham radio people are like electronics geeks, they like tech stuff, and communicate all over the world in different formats. Hey, they even use satellites to communicate! Lots of history there. Cool stuff.
Business InformationHistory/background
I've been on ebay since 2002, but my wife is quite expert at ebay selling and buying. She has even purchased items for me. I've always been facinated by the amount of goods available on ebay, you can find just about anything you can think of. I wanted to do ebay for myself now that I have some time on my hands, and my wife's help and encouragement of course. With all of her accumulated knowledge of the subject, she has become very good at it, and with her expert guideance, I expect it all too turn out well.
Payment policy
I accept payment (in US Dollars) only through paypal. Paypal accepts all major credit cards, and is preferred because it can really speed up the transaction. It's fast, easy, and secure. Please note that when using e-checks, checks, or money orders through paypal, you must allow additional time for these transactions to clear, often 7 business days or more. I can't ship your auction until payment clears paypal. If you don't mind the extended waiting period, you can choose these payment methods.
Shipping information
Shipping methods are specified for each auction because size and weight are cost factors. I try to use the most cost effective methods, because it adds to your cost. I will ship within 1 business day of your payment. All items are expertly packed! Items over $25.00 are insured, that cost is added in the shipping rate, along with a handling fee to help defray the packing cost. It's really worth it though because I'm retired now, and I don't have any other (work related) committments, so I can make shipping your item(s) a priority! Besides, now I have nothing more important to do and I really look forward too having that drive to the post office!
Standard Domestic handling fee: $1.00
Standard International handling fee: $3.00
Please note that some of the items I sell may require special handling. Oversize boxes and packing materials will increase the handling fee, and also the shipping cost.
Return policy
The return policy is specified for each auction because some items may be sold for parts, or have defective parts. Some items may be used, or vintage, or otherwise blemished, damaged, or sold as-is. For items that qualify, returns, refunds, or other adjustments are made at my sole descretion, and you must notify me via ebay email within 7 days of the postal delivery date. The buyer must provide paypal with the correct shipping address. I am not responsible for loss or damage during the shipping process. Insurance is optional for items under $25.00 but mandatory over that amount.
Contact information
Please use the ebay email to reach me. I can keep our communications lines open much better this way, because I don't have to sort through any junk-mail, and so forth. I check the ebay email several times daily so you will get a timely response.
Committment to the Buyer
I will ship within 1 business day of your payment.
I will carefully research, test, catalog, evaluate, and truthfully describe everything I sell. I will carefully pack the item(s) to prevent any shipping damages. I will email you as soon as I get back from the post office, to confirm your package is sent. All items are insured (above 25 dollars). I will do my best to prevent or mitigate any unfortunate accidents or miss-understandings. But, I've been around long enough to know that stuff can happen beyond my control. I want you to feel comfortable with our transaction, I want you to know that you can contact me with ANY of your questions or concerns, and I can assure you that I will be happy to address any issues you might have with your purchase. Bottom line is that I want you to be satisfied!
New Bidders, Feedback, and other policy
New Bidders Welcomed! No feedback requirements. As long as I get paid what issue could I possibly have? I just follow the ebay guidelines for payments, and as long as you fall within those parameters we are happy to do business with you. LEAVING FEEDBACK: When I buy on ebay, I wait until I receive my auction, then inspect or test it. I consider the shipping time and packing. If item's condition is satisfactory, I will leave positive feedback. If there is a problem I will attempt to contact you for a resolution. If satisfactory, I'll respond with positive feeback. When I sell on ebay, I'll leave feedback after I have received payment and shipped your auction. Hopefully you would extend the same courtesy as I have - and give me an opportunity to clear up any miss-understanding before leaving us a negative feedback.
