Business InformationHistory/background
Know a little about a lot, and a lot about a little. I've been collecting whatever strikes my fancy for 50 years, and see no end in sight! Along the way I've taught school & college, sold Amway & Sarah Cov & Avon, managed offices, done free-lance editing (my favorite!), raised 4 kids & numerous pets, and moved so often--taking everything with me without breaking anything--that I've earned the title Master Packer! LOL!
Payment policy
PayPal. Immediate payment preferred, but within 7 days is fine.
Shipping information
LOCATION: I will ship to anyone to whom the US Post Office or UPS will deliver. TIME: Barring unusual circumstances, I ship no more than 5 business days after verified payment -- generally much sooner. CARRIERS: U. S. Postal Service and UPS. [For more information regarding Shipping and Store Policies, please click on View Store, above.] IF, AFTER PACKING, I FIND THAT I HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY OVERESTIMATED THE SHIPPING WEIGHT, I WILL IMMEDIATELY REFUND THE DIFFERENCE TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT.
Return policy
Yep! Just email me within 7 days of receipt and describe the issue. If you have a problem with anything you receive from me, I certainly hope you'll tell me so I can correct it. [For more information regarding Store Policies, please click on View Store, above.]
Contact information
Please use eBay email. (Click on my ID.) The Feedback Forum is not the correct venue for communication between buyer and seller.
Feedback & 5-Star Rating System
Did you know that anything LESS THAN 5 STARS is considered a NEGATIVE by eBay? That's why it's so important to make sure you're clear about shipping/handling costs and turn-around time -- to ask questions if you have concerns -- to consider whether the time and costs seem reasonable to you -- and to make sure you're comfortable with my terms and policies BEFORE YOU BID. [For information regarding my Store Policies, please click on View Store, above.]
Customer Satisfaction
I stand behind all my merchandise, and only sell things I myself would wear, use, or have in my home. I work hard to achieve my goal of complete customer satisfaction, and I'll do whatever I can (within the realm of reason) to create a win/win situation for both of us.
