I am a lifelong collector based in the UK disposing of my collections/accumulations.

I am NOT a dealer and do not profess any professional expertise

Please note that the display card is NOT included in the sale.

My descriptions are:

Unmounted mint / MNH / mint never hinged   -   stamps without hinges as issued, with full gum.

Hinged Mint / MM / MH / mounted mint   -   stamps that have been hinged or mounted and may have hinge remains.

Unused   -   stamps with or without gum, not used but may have hinge remains.

Fine used or used   -   stamps that have cancellations on them and may have hinge remnants.

Cancelled to order / CTO   -   stamps which have a postmark but have never been postally used. These pre-cancelled stamps may have some or all gum and may have been mounted and/or have hinge remains.

"Space filler"   -   stamps which fill a gap but may have many faults.

"as seen"   -   I do not guarantee the authenticity or condition of this (these) items and the buyer must rely on the photographic images shown and other descriptive matter. Stamps that appear unused may have some or all gum missing or may have been damaged by stamp hinge removal. I do my best to remove all badly damaged stamps, but some inevitably are not spotted.  These items are NOT subject to return.

Terms of Posting:

I will not despatch to PO Boxes unless the mail can be tracked as signatures are not possible.

When I post your items to you, I always obtain a Proof of Posting Certificate from the Post Office, unless you pay for Royal Mail Special Delivery or International Signed For (Overseas) service, for which there is an additional cost.  Please send a message for details. It is my experience that virtually all items sent by Royal Mail are delivered.

I have had poor experiences sending to China or Russia therefore if you live in PR China or Russia and your purchases total more than 20GBP I will only send 'signed for' (and tracked if available to your location) and will charge you for this.

If you live in the Rest of the World and your purchases total more than 40GBP I will only send 'signed for' unless you email me willing to accept liability for non-delivery.

Combining Postage

Unfortunately, I have had to increase my postage charges as eBay takes full commission on the postage element as well as the value of the goods, but I will combine postage in one charge unless you breach the 'signed for' limit.

Payment:

I will expect payment within 7 days (unless I have ongoing auctions on which you are bidding).  I will cancel any items unpaid after 10 days and re-list them.

Possible errors in description:

Please note, if you think that any items purchased are not as described; please advise me immediately, so that I may try to rectify the problem to your full satisfaction.

Authenticity:

All items are believed to be genuine unless otherwise indicated by or in the description, or by other statement. If any item other than those sold 'as seen' or 'as scan' should be proven not to be genuine, then a full refund will of course be given.

Margins:

Please note all margins and perforations on stamps are as illustrated.

Returns policy:

If an item is returned, it must be in the same state etc. as when sent. When returning please obtain either a Certificate of Posting or Register/Insure with your Postal Service. I keep photographic and detailed records of all items sent. Any query MUST be raised with me within 7 days of receipt of items. Refunds will be dealt with within 72 hours.

Please note:

All bids made by you are on the basis that you have read and accepted my terms.

Be Aware:

You may be charged import duty by your border authorities - you are responsible for paying this and I have no control over the amount you are charged. I will not make false customs declarations.

Mail from the UK to France and Spain is often held up in Customs, therefore please allow up to 4 weeks for this to arrive - not 7 days as suggested by eBay.
