1975 Topps 1974 Highlights #1 Hank Aaron GAI 7.5 NM+ Thankfully, we seem to be seeing the late innings of the Pandemic. I’m glad to say that my parcels are moving
along much better, even in the last few weeks.
With that being said, there are occasional delays and would ask buyers
to be patient as their items work their way through the system. Obviously, once parcels are dropped off at
USPS there isn’t a whole lot I can do. If
you are one who wants to complain about the occasional delays, PLEASE DO NOT BUY. I typically ship twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. Please review the pic for condition. There are
no returns (ALL SALES FINAL) so please be happy with the cards and buy when you
are absolutely sure you want the cards. Thanks for looking! SHIPPING: shipping costs are NOT just postage. Due to the new “ USPS parcel select/Ground
Advantage ” change (First Class phased out), shipping costs have
changed. In many instances, shipping
costs were forced to go up. Other
listings have been moved to the “ eBay Standard Envelope for Trading Cards, Stamps, Postcards
& Coins up to $20” (which is
much lower). Regardless, in addition to
postage, my shipping costs reflect the following: bubble mailers, envelopes, boxes,
labels and packing materials. Insurance is
also added when needed. Ebay takes .30 +
12.5% of the shipping total (not related to the item itself). My shipping total
for each item will reflect these costs and, in many instances, I lose
money. However, if you still disagree with
how I arrived at the shipping total PLEASE DO NOT BUY. Most buyers are decent and understanding,
however there are a terrible few who want to re-litigate shipping AFTER they
agreed to my terms, receive a great card, and I did everything as promised on my
end. That is not acceptable and those
buyers will be blocked from future purchases. PWE SHIPPING: I do offer “PWE” shipping for
1.50 for items under 20 bucks and less than ¼ inch thick (“ eBay Standard Envelope for
Trading Cards, Stamps, Postcards & Coins up to $20 ). I am
keeping combined shipping at 1.00 per item for all items. USA buyers with PO Boxes are not eligible for
this shipping method, nor are Overseas buyers who use a third-party
shipper. (you may purchase 3 or more PWE
shipping items, or combine with a “ground advantage” item to use this shipping
method so they can be sent “ground advantage) COMBINED SHIPPING: Combined shipping is NOW available
at 1.00 for each addl item (was 1.50). I’m
doing my best to keep costs lower for the buyer and encourage the buyer to purchase
more items under one invoice. Whether
you combine with a large card lot, or a very expensive card, or a cheap PWE
card. Each item will now be combined at
1.00 regardless. This makes it easy to
pay right away and less confusing for buyer.
Sometimes I benefit, many times I lose.
IF YOU ARE PURCHASING A CARD WITH THE EBAY AUTHENTICY BADGE, IT ABSOLUTELY
CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH ANYTHING. THEY
MUST BE SENT INDIVIDUALLY (I do not control this) YOU MUST WAIT FOR A COMBINED INVOICE BEFORE
PAYING. If buyer pays before receiving invoice, I will not refund
any shipping totals. Too time consuming
(if it has not been automatically done). FEEDBACK:
I always appreciate if the buyer takes a few moments and leaves positive
feedback. eBay makes it quite easy to do
so. I will ALWAYS reciprocate, usually
within 24 hours. Unfortunately, I used
to leave positive feedback first and it was only reciprocated by the buyer at a
10-15% clip. Buyers cannot get “negatives”
and frankly, eBay is driven by seller feedback. Most buyers understand this once is explained
(which is why I have added this feedback section). I am now receiving feedback at over 60% of
completed sales. Hopefully this
explanation will increase my percentage further. If buying a graded card: these might have some light scratches
here and there on the cases. in my opinion they do not detract from the cards
in any way, but I want to be up front. Grading Companies did not always do
a good job shipping these to folks in my opinion and usually arrived with scratches
right out of the box. Nor, did some
previous sellers in storing/shipping.
