IMPORTANT & USEFUL INFORMATION - PLEASE READ!

🤗

Ebay is a fantastic place to recycle/collect/buy when the buyer and seller play fair. 

I have written the following information so that we can all be on the same wavelength and be happy with our transaction!

Please read & accept before Buying/Bidding/Sending an offer - don’t stress about me saying this - it is all helpful information!

😊  Thanks      😊

 

Having become an (overly enthusiastic, (… Ok, addicted) eBay buyer for several years, I know that warm buzz when the item you receive is as you expected & you have had good service; conversely when the item is a nasty shock or service is poor, it can really give you the hump - or worse!

Now, as I am currently unable to work due to ill health, I am attempting to turn some of my (& sometimes family/friends) items into funds. And whilst doing so I hope to transfer my experiences, good and bad, into giving my buyers the best service I can, so you will want to come back for more, time & again!

 

I am an enthusiast, not a professional, and love to see items find a new home, and even a new purpose, rather than melted down and lost forever!

I try to give accurate information on the items that I sell including makers, stamps, style, dates etc. These are my assessment of the items based on research and I try to be as accurate as possible but I won’t be 100% of the time! I try to take good photos of all markings (but can have a bad day!), so if the specific details/interpretation of marks are important to you please do check them yourself. 

If you find a mistake, can fill in gaps, or know/find any additional information of interest on a piece, please do share - I won’t be offended! - I am learning all the time and it makes the eBay experience more human !

    

📲📞  QUESTIONS      📞📲

I will always try to give important details/measurements & show Hallmarks/other markings/labels, & identified, if possible. Please message me if I forgot or if there is any further information you require before bidding/buying. I will usually answer within 24hrs. 

I would like to thank the creators of the following websites which I regularly use in Hallmark & Makers Mark Identification:

 silvermakersmarks.co.uk

925-1000.com

 

📸     PHOTOGRAPHS       📸

  I make every effort to upload clear pictures. Some under high magnification, especially to show hallmarks and details or defect/damage or repair. But (even on new items) this can makes even the slightest manufacturing imperfections & specks of dust appear much more prominent even though they may not be visible to the naked eye!  So please don't be put off - you can just rest assured that I do not hide any problems!

A recently purchased light box has improve my photo’s but at times still leaves some unusual effects on shiny objects from reflection of the internal fabric or the LEDs! So if you are unsure whether something is a defect or camera/reflection/lighting effect just ask, though I will have usually mentioned any major defect/damage in the description.

 

🎁👠 DISPLAY AIDS 👒🕶

Any items/embellishments used in presenting a listing (eg. jewellery boxes; mats/cloths; jewellery/scarves or additional items of clothing) are for display purposes only, unless expressly itemised in the listing. (My butterflies come under display items!)

A box will only be sent if specified in the listing so that I can keep postage low by sending as a large letter if size allows.

If your item is for a present & you would like a (non branded) box, request before paying and I will upgrade your postage to small parcel to allow for the increased size of the package (I am trying to source reasonably priced post friendly jewellery boxes which will hopefully make this unnecessary!).

 

❤️ COLOUR  💜

I know it is really annoying when an item is not the colour you expect: Colours can vary in different light (even natural light doesn’t always guarantee the correct colour!) & on different monitors; people call colours by different names; eBay says use a common term in the title to get picked out, eg. purple, when actually it maybe plum! So I will edit photos to make colours as accurate as possible. But I may also use flash or lighten/darken photos during editing in order to highlight detail (especially necessary on dark clothing, but can alter the colour), & I will note the photo(s) closest to the true colour if need be.

 

🤼‍♀️  WEAR & TEAR     👩‍🌾

I  only sell items that I would be happy to receive myself!

I’m sure you will all recognise the seller catch-all excuse for having failed to mention, or show, defects & damage: “B uyers should appreciate my items are not new/vintage so expect signs of use” or “condition as expected for age” Grrr 😖  !

Please be assured I will always try to accurately & objectively describe the item, AND any faults, to the best of my ability, & photograph them in the most honest way I can (including close-ups), warts & all! The combination of description + photographs should allow you to form your own objective opinion of the beauty, details and  condition. 

(NB Don’t be put off by the mention of faults/defects - it in no way means the item is aesthetically displeasing or broken, (unless I specifically say that!) AND may well be in a far better state than most items on eBay whose owners say everything is in ‘Very Good’ ‘Excellent’ ‘Mint’ condition or ‘expected for age’, or omit entirely any mention of condition & give only 1-2 distant/minute blurred photos -so leave you guessing! Also remember magnified images look much worse than you can see by naked eye)

Clothing & shoes etc. will be clean (possibly excepting coats that need dry cleaning) but may be creased from storage. 

 

OBJECTIVE CONDITION GRADING :

 - all damage/signs of use taken into account whether expected for age/use or not - I’ll let you decide:

  (works for contemporary/vintage/antique items and clothes/shoes/bags etc)

  • Excellent      - In new/unused (with or without tag/original box) or virtually new looking condition (can occur even in vintage/antique items if only ever stored/ displayed).
  • Very Good   - Barely used with minimal signs of wear, in sound overall condition. Maybe an item that has been re-polished/refurbished to a high standard (I will never put excellent on these items).
  • Good            - Has signs of use with light-moderate wear, possible minor damage which doesn’t detract from the piece.
  • Fair               - Signs of regular use with signs of wear, slight damage +/or good repair (will be specified in the listing).
  • Poor             - Item is showing significant signs or use, +/or moderate damage, poorly repaired or in obvious need of repair (will be specified in the listing).
  • Very Poor    - Obvious significant damage. For recycle/scrap or significant repair before use or display.

My buyers are extremely pleased as they find the condition of their items is far better than they ever expected! SEE FEEDBACK.

 

💷  PAYMENT : 

  • There are now many more options for payment, all of which are managed by Ebay. 
  • Please pay within 3 days. (Or contact me to arrange an extension (up-to 7days)  if you are planning further bids/buys to take advantage of combined postage discounts). 

 

📦 P+P :

  • I do not aim to make a profit on P+P. It is charged at predicted stamp cost + eBay/Paypal fees. (& sometimes even subsidised- especially as I tend to only think of necessary parcel size and forget about weight!)
  • There are times when the eBay suggested postage (frequently - often suggests bizarre options so I mostly ignore them), or my guesstimate (occasionally), is wrong & I end up paying more, or very occasionally, less, for postage - so it all works out in the wash! 
  • If you want to reduce postage further ask what the postage would be without the presentation box (if one was included in the listing) because quite often it is the size of the box that pushes the package up into the ‘small parcel’ postal category which can be quite a jump, so without it I may be able to package your item as a large letter. (Be assured your item will still be fully protected)

 

Packaging :

  • I don’t charge for packaging (or time or petrol!)
  • Each item will be well packed to sufficiently protect them, but packaging will mostly be recycled to save costs & landfill.

 

Postage :

  • I generally use Royal Mail & try to keep cost as low as possible but eBay insists on certain levels of tracking/signature to cover buyer & seller protection.

(NB. Royal Mail standard post is insured up to £20 so items <£20 in value will be sent unsigned/untracked)

  • I will always obtain Proof of Posting.
  • ⚖️ OUTSIZED  Items (> 2Kg or > 90cm) will be sent by the most economical service at the time. If this is necessary please wait to be invoiced as the cost will be dependant on size/service used & Insurance level required. 
  • 🏳️‍🌈 INTERNATIONAL POSTING : is by the  eBay Global Shipping Program  (GSP) at the price shown - set by eBay (I don't even get to see their cost). This is a trackable service, and includes Taxes/Custom Fees if appropriate. Your item will usually arrive within 6-20 days.
  • 🎁 COMBINED POSTAGE :  ALWAYS* - so check my other listings - the more you buy the more you save! 
  • NB It is essential you  REQUEST AMENDED/COMBINED INVOICE * BEFORE YOU PAY* . 

(* Postage is usually discounted to that of the largest single item, unless, rarely, a higher postage tariff is needed to cover increased weight; size; or insurance value). 

 Just let me know if you are waiting for other listings (within 7 days) so I don't worry about non-payment!

* ☹️ Apologies to International customers but the ‘Global Shipping Program’ isn’t set up to allow combined postage. I have pointed out this unfairness to eBay so watch this space!

UPDATE 😃 : I have found a way around this - message me BEFORE making your purchases, as it is not possible to change after!

 

Dispatch : 

  •  I will try to get items posted ASAP after payment, but have given myself  5 WORKING DAYS  on the listing as due to health problems I am often reliant on others to post for me. (I will let you know in the rare event of it being over 5/7).
  • NB. If you need something urgently, pay for the faster option (ie. 1st Class rather than 2nd, or request invoice including Special Delivery) & let me know, as I will always try my hardest to oblige).

 

💰 BEST OFFERS/DISCOUNTS:  

  1. On BUY IT NOW listings showing “or BEST OFFER” : I may send offers to watchers from time to time. Buyers are invited to make sensible offers. I only ask that offers are reasonably close to the asking price ( within 10% ) to have any chance of being considered. Disparaging offers are not acceptable & will be ignored. Repeat offenders will be blocked!
  2. On BUY IT NOW listings WITHOUT best offer:  On these listings I have lowered the £ as much as possible, so will not be able to send or accept further offers!
  3. On AUCTION listings : If offers are being accepted please remember the auction price is the  RESERVE  (I would have thought this was obvious, but apparently not!) so don’t insult with offers under this! I will only  rarely  consider ending an auction early, because I don’t want to upset buyers waiting for the auction. So there is only room for serious offers  OVER  the auction price to have any chance. 

Multiple Buy It Now purchases are always discounted!  (As long as I am contacted  before  you pay so I can make adjustments. It is very difficult to do after & I will still be liable for the fees on the full amount) 

 

❎ RARE Case of LOST POST:  

 If you do not receive you item(s) when expected (allowing for payment date & any necessary clearing time; dispatch time (I will usually let you know); & post office expected delivery time -remember they only count WORKING days, ie. Excludes weekends & Bank Hols), please initially be patient and wait to see if it turns up. Meanwhile it is worth checking with your neighbours in case delivered there. Also check with your local Sorting Office in case you had just missed the “You were not in” card (must be done within 2 weeks otherwise they return to sender). However if it has still not appeared within 14 WORKING days of latest expected delivery date -which Ebay usually state, (guide period for UK only) please send me a message as I will have the Proof of Postage Reference No. & Tracking Code if relevant, if I haven't already added them.

 

↩️ RETURNS :

I don’t generally accept returns. 

I thoroughly check all items prior to listing & will note any defects in the description & photograph anything significant but I am only human & can sometimes miss things. If there is a  GENUINE ERROR  on my part, of course I will be happy to refund, including original & return shipping cost,  so that you won’t be out of pocket!

 

 I cannot accept returns if you have simply changed your mind or the item doesn’t fit, so ensure you read the full description and ask all relevant questions before bidding/buying. Please be honest!

Note: ❗️ Please do not return anything without first allowing me to review the discrepancy. 

         Threats/ Harassment/ Attempts to blackmail over feedback etc, will all be reported to eBay! If there are any suspicions of fraud your name will be passed on to the  National ACTION FRAUD Squad .

          If on return I feel that the item has been tampered with I will take action through eBay/PayPal as necessary to reclaim. 

 

👍 FEEDBACK:  

  • I would be grateful if you could take a minute to leave feedback as soon as possible -as this reassures me that the item has arrived safely as well as confirming you are pleased with the item.
  • If you are considering leaving anything other than positive feedback on your buying experience please 1st consider if the problem is: 

  a) Due to not reading the description fully or misreading the listing or wishful thinking on your behalf (yep - I’ve done it!); 

  b) Under Seller (my) control - or nothing I could have possibly done about it! Eg. Delayed delivery due to Covid! Or more commonly Christmas etc;      or 

  c) Is there anything I (the seller) can do to put things right? Message me to see & I will try my best. NB. I WILL NOT BE HELD TO RANSOM BY THREATS OF NEGATIVE FEEDBACK! It’s much better to address any issues in a friendly manner 😊

  • I  will of course leave feedback for you too once I know all is well. (I hold off doing this until I know the buyer is happy. It reminds me to check with them if they haven’t already left feedback.)

If you are pleased with our transaction, consider saving my user name for future perusal (15yssm and/or 16yssm), & perhaps you could share it with others who may be interested in the type of items I am selling? 

 

👛💍👠⌚️  MORE  MORE  MORE!    📀🎒👗🕰

 I will (slowly) be listing many more items of jewellery, shoes, clothes, collectibles/antiques in the future (I’m addicted to buying & have a tendency to hoard - so need to thin out!). So please look at what else I have listed & ' 📌 SAVE SELLER 📎 ' so you can check back regularly!

 

🐈🐈🐈🐈  From a smoke free home, but we do have 4 beautiful rescue moggies - so be aware parcels may occasionally have a  present  of a short silky cat hair, or even one of my, or my daughters', long hairs (which seem to get everywhere however careful we are!) - please don't take offence!   🐈🐈🐈🐈

 

PS. Many thanks - for respecting the time & effort I put into my listings by reading my (rather long) notes. I hope you found them helpful & that they reassured you that I am a very fair minded seller wanting both of us to be happy with our eBay experience!
