A note about feedback: If you are planning to award less than five stars for any of the categories, please email me and let me know if there is an issue. I do my best to start items at the lowest possible price and provide great service. The rating system is how eBay charges the sellers our fees – so it is very important to us! Also, regarding shipping fees, I have no handling fees.  The tracking number for your package inside the USA will be emailed to you. International and APO buyers are welcome and shipping is handled thru eBay.

 I do not end auction items early – ever!! It is not fair to everyone else, so please do not ask! 

Returns: Please measure your favorite fitting pieces of clothing in your closet and compare the measurements to the listing. If an item does not fit, it is not eligible for return. I do not refund shipping costs. If I have missed something or have grossly misrepresented an item, please contact me through the eBay email system and I will happily consider your item for a refund.
