Payment policy
: I appreciate all the excellent buyers that have come my way over the years. However, lately it seems like there are an abundance of people that believe that are entitled to pay if and when they get around to it. Due to too many buyers expecting "layaway terms", payment when they acquire the funds or payment after they sell
their
item(s) or get their paycheck next Friday, I've had to publish payment expectations. Therefore,
"I expect payment within 48 hours. If no payment has been received within
2 days
, an unpaid item case will be opened automatically."
Shipping:
I work hard to get all my items out within 24 hours of payment. Depending on when an item is purchased and it's size, it may go out the same day if it fits in the mail box.
Shipping costs:
Recently I've noticed that in my detailed seller ratings, buyers are down-rating me on shipping costs.  Shipping costs continue to go up and 2021 is no different; for most services it was another 3-10% increase this year.  In the past 5 years, the cost to ship a small, lightweight item First Class Package has gone up as much as 25-60%!  Furthermore, First Class Package is no longer flat rate. Prior to 2019 it didn't matter where you shipped, it was the same price per ounce.  Now it is like any other USPS non-flat rate shipping class, it's adjusted for distance.  The difference between the east and west coast appears to be around 40-50 cents.  ebay and paypal also get a larger bite because their fees are a percentage of the item price AND shipping cost.
I've also had people complain that I don't offer free shipping, although many of them are only buyers of items and not sellers. LOL! It may be "free shipping" for you, but guess what; I had to pay for it. So for example if I sell a item with free shipping - presuming an 8oz package that is shipped First Class package - shipping now eats 70% of the , ebay and paypal another 19% in fees. So at best, not counting my printing, packaging, possible transportation time & cost to/from the post office and the time to photograph, list and properly package an item, I may see a whopping $.60 net on my sale if it's in my mailing zone, maybe $.15 if I ship to the west coast. I'm not a business, just a small ebay seller that is cleaning out the extra stuff in the house, so I'm not using the 'make a profit on volume' model for sales.
Best offer:
My idea of best offer is "best reasonable offer", or within 20% of the asking price, not pennies on the dollar as is most common. I spend significant time checking out prices on ebay and elsewhere to determine the price range for an item. Sometimes I miss or there is a sudden price collapse due to 50 sellers deciding to put the same or a similar item out at the same time. Regardless, that's where I'm coming from on best offer.
