I have over 30 years experience buying & selling antiques. In addition to selling on eBay I have a shop on Ruby Lane - please email me if you'd like to know the web address. Melonrose is also located in two brick and mortar antique stores - Emporium Antiques in Frederick, Maryland and Valley Antiques & Uniques in Funkstown, Maryland; I'd be happy to give you directions or further information if you email me.

PayPal only - payment is due within 3 days of sale.

I ship within 3 days of receiving and/or cleared payment, Monday through Friday. I only charge exact shipping costs plus $1.00 packaging/handling fee to help defray my costs for new bubble wrap and peanuts. This handling fee is already included in the shipping calculator costs found in each listing, but insurance is not included until the end of sale - it's based on the final price of the item. I will ship mutiple purchases together where feasible in order to lower your shipping costs.

If an item is significantly different from the description please contact me within 3 days of receiving the item for exact return instructions; I’ll promptly refund your original purchase costs upon receiving it back safely. However, customers who abuse eBay’s feedback system and leave a complaint instead of contacting me and giving me a chance to make it right are not eligible for refunds.

Please contact me through the 'Ask Seller a Question' link on my listings.
