Shipping:
We do our absolute best to get your item to you safely, quickly, and as affordable as possible.  Over the years, USPS has become increasingly unreliable.  Priority Mail is not necessarily a priority anymore though the prices continue to rise through the roof!   We have had many instances where Priority Mail has taken a week to be delivered while Media Mail and Non-Priority packages have been delivered in 2 days!  We can't control what happens once your package leaves our possession.
Shipping Costs:
Shipping costs are based upon package size, weight, insurance, service type, and package/handling costs.  Unless specifically specified in the listing, we can't offer free shipping any longer as the costs have gone so far up it takes all our profits away.
eBay requires tacking on ALL sales shipped, that is automatically without the cost of postage.
Everything shipped must be classified as a package so while you think the cost of a stamp or two would suffice, it does not, we have to pay package pricing. Please remember this when you think the shipping charges are too high, we have no control over this and in many cases we lose money.
Combined Shipping:
We are happy to combine purchases to keep shipping costs down.  As we do not know the end package size and cost, if we combine shipping for you, we will issue you an adjusted shipping cost refund after the items have been purchased & processed.
Pricing:
eBay charges us to sell an item, it is not cheap, most buyers have no clue the costs involved to provide you an item for sale.  We feel our pricing is extremely fair to both buyer and seller.
Sales Tax:
We have no control over sales tax charged.  We do not receive it.  This is totally controlled by eBay.  Certain business buyers may ask eBay to have Tax Exempt status applied to their accounts.
Returns:
While our default policy is no returns accepted, due to problems with fraudulent buyers, if you truly feel something is significantly wrong with the item you purchased, just contact us, we will work it out.  Check our feedback - you don't get to that achievement by not being honest, ethical, and fair.
Warranties:
Unless specifically indicated in the listing, there are no warranties expressed or implied.
