I pay winning bids within 2 hours and expect sellers to ship within 24 hours of receipt of payment. If you're paid instantly you should be set up to ship out sold goods promptly. Making a profit on shipping earns you negative feedback. Don't do it.

1. Photos that don't use an item to show scale or size of the item being sold. Is it so hard to add a ruler or a dollar bill to a photo? 2. Sellers that are paid the same day their item was won and don't ship the item within 24 hours of payment. You are set up to get paid right away, therefore you should set yourself up to ship out paid items right away. No excuses! This is the 21st century and I don't want to hear that you only go to the post office once a week! There are thousands of places that offer UPS shipping, too. 4. People who ship out dirty merchandise! Are people that LAZY that they can't take a few moments to wipe off grime, food debris, grease or dust from an item before they pack it for shipping? I HATE opening a package of box to find an item I've bought covered in filth. Unless it's a bona fide antique or coin that would lose value if cleaned, there is absolutely NO reason to ship DIRTY merchandise! You are risking negative feedback and your reputation.

I only pay with PayPal and make every effort to pay you within an hour or two of winning your item.

I do not return merchandise unless it is not as advertised, clearly damaged PRIOR to shipping or dodgy/rank with grime or other filth.

I am tired of getting gouged on shipping charges by people that think they have a right to make a profit off of it. I can see charging a dollar or two for crumpled newspaper or packing peanuts but anything more than that is unreasonable. The post office gives free boxes for Priority Mail and I've seen enough of them turned inside out and used for regular parcel post shipments. Bottom line - gouge me on shipping and I will leave feedback that reflects this.
