Terms

1) I am happy to sell to anyone who is able to use the eBay International program, where I ship to their hub in the USA and eBay then sends it on to you. However, if you are outside the USA and buy multiple lots, I cannot send you an invoice and you may have to pay separate s/h for every lot, which is quite expensive. That is beyond my control.

2) Due to eBay's invoicing policies, generally a maximum of 20 items can be put on an invoice. 

3) Please wait for me to send an invoice before you pay. I send all items insured or at least with a tracking number. The cost of this is included in the total s/h cost of listed in the ordering information. 

4) Wins from the same day will be combined for combined s/h savings, but not for auctions over more than one week. Thanks!

5) I combine postage, so multiple items will be sent together for the higher of the shipping prices quoted. (For example, if you win a banknote with a $4.99 stated s/h rate and a heavier coin set with a $5.49 quoted s/h rate, they will be sent together and your total s/h would be $5.49. 

6) I will combine the first 4 wins at the highest quoted price. After 4 wins I will charge an extra 25 cents per item sent at the same time, in addition to the base s/h.

7) Books will likely be sent media rate and may have to be sent separately from non-book items. Ask if you have questions on shipping.
