Business InformationHistory/background
I am a freelance artist/designer on commission. I have had my work in several galleries, from 1995-2000. I majored in fine arts for seven years at several different colleges, mainly in Michigan. Aside from selling my work on eBay, I also sell prints of my work on ArtWanted.com, where my main portfolio is based and I do portraits of people and pets on the side line.
Payment policy
I accept PayPal only. I prefer PayPal for the security it provides for both buyer and seller. I do not particularly care for E-Checks, I will accept them, but I do not like the wait involved with having them cleared because it delays shipping time.
Shipping information
I use USPS, generally 1st Class Mail with 2-5 day delivery or Priority Mail. I always ship my packages out within 2 days AFTER payment is recieved, M-F business days only. I will combine shipping on multiple purchases and I am willing to ship internationally, providing the buyer inquires with me beforehand. I do not give shipping quotes to international buyers because I feel that it is a waste of time. All too often, I will have someone ask if me what the shipping cost would be to a foriegn country and when I give them the lowest rate, they completely don't end up bidding anyway. I leave it up to international buyers to look up their own shipping cost based on the info I give them for size and weight. I encourage all buyers to take out shipping insurance and delivery confirmation. There is always that possibility that something will get damaged through snail mail and even though that sucks, it's still not my problem or fault if it happens.
Return policy
I have never really had anyone complain or want to return anything. I'm pretty spot on with my item descriptions, right down to the finest detail. With me, what you see and read is what you get. Even though I don't offer a return policy, I am a very understanding person and reasonable if you contact me. I will always do my best to come to a peaceful compromise, as opposed to leaving harsh feedback and ruining reputations.
