                                                                                                                                  FOR YOUR PROTECTION AND INFORMATION

QUESTIONS – MY RECORD AS BOTH AN EBAY BUYER AND AN EBAY SELLER CLEARLY SHOWS THAT I AM A VERY BIG PROPONENT OF MY CUSTOMERS ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TERRIFIC ITEMS I POST ON THE SITE.  WITH THIS, I VERY STRONGLY URGE MY EBAY CUSTOMERS TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT MY ITEMS BEFORE THEY ENGAGE THE BIDDING PROCESS.  WHILE WE STRIVE TO DO OUR LEVEL-BEST TO PRESENT CLEAR AND COMPLETE DESCRIPTIONS OF OUR ITEMS, WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, ON OCCASION, THERE JUST MIGHT BE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION PRIOR TO BIDDING.  WE WILL ALWAYS RESPOND PROMPTLY WITH SPECIFIC INFORMATION.

BEST OFFER ITEMS – ALMOST ALL OF THE POSTINGS ON EBAY HAVE A VERY LOW OPENING PRICE WITH NO RESERVE ATTACHMENT.  WE WILL ALWAYS CONSIDER OUR CUSTOMER’S “OFFERS.”  IF YOU WISH TO MAKE AN OFFER FOR ONE OF OUR ITEMS, PLEASE DO SO.  YOU NEVER KNOW, WE JUST MIGHT ACCEPT IT.  WE WOULD RESPOND WITH OUR DECISION PROMPTLY VIA EBAY.  IF YOU DO SUBMIT A “BEST OFFER” THAT IS ACCEPTED, IT AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A “SALE” AND IT CANNOT BE RETRACTED.  PLEASE BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT YOU ARE PREPARED TO PURCHASE THE ITEM FOR YOUR “OFFER PRICE” PLUS THE SHIPPING CHARGES THAT ARE NOTED IN THE EBAY POSTING BEFORE SUBMITTING AN “OFFER.”                

CONTACT BETWEEN THE SELLER AND THE BUYER – ALL TOO OFTEN A BIDDER SEES AN ITEM, GETS EXCITED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR MAKING THAT ITEM THEIRS, AND THIS THAT ‘PLACE BID BUTTON’ DESPITE A QUESTION OR TWO THAT THEY MAY HAVE LINGERING ON THEIR MINDS.  “RINGS ‘N’ THINGS” ENCOURAGES CONTACT FROM ANYONE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON OUR ITEMS.  CONTACT FROM POTENTIAL BIDDERS AND BIDDERS ALIKE IS TO BE MADE THROUGH THE EBAY MESSAGING SYSTEM ONLY.  THEIR SYSTEM WORKS EXTREMELY WELL AND IS THERE FOR YOU TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL BIDDING ADVENTURE.  CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE FULLY AWARE THAT AT NO TIME IS CONTACT WITH THIS SELLER TO BE MADE VIA THIS SELLER’S PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS.  MESSAGING IS TO BE CONSUMER-BASED ONLY.  THE SELLER’S EMAIL ADDRESS IS FOR PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ONLY AND NOT FOR EBAY BUSINESS.  THE EBAY MESSAGING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR THE BUSINESS AT HAND.  IT IS ASKED THAT THIS DISTINCTION BE RESPECTED BY ALL.  OF FURTHER NOTE, ANY INAPPROPRIATE MANNER OF COMMUNICATION RECEIVED WILL BE REPORTED TO THE EBAY SECURITY AND SAFETY DIVISION POST HASTE.

THE BUYER’S CHOICE – IF THE WINNING BIDDER FEELS THAT IT WOULD BE MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TO UTILIZE ONE SHIPPER OVER ANOTHER (UPS RATHER THAN THE USPS SYSTEM), SUCH CONCERN MUST BE VOICED TO THE SELLER VIA AN EBAY CONTACT MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY (WITHOUT DELAY) AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE BIDDING PROCESS.  THIS MUST ALSO BE DONE PRIOR TO POSTING THE PAYPAL PAYMENT.            

DELIVERY CHARGES – I HOLD EACH AND EVERY ONE OF MY EBAY CUSTOMERS IN THE HIGHEST REGARD.  NO ONE WILL EVER OVERPAY FOR SHIPPING – NOT NOW, NOT EVER.  REST ASSURED THAT ONCE A WINNING BID HAS BEEN CONFIRMED WITH EBAY, SHIPPING CHARGES WILL BE CHECKED FOR THE APPROPRIATE METHOD OF CALCULATION AS WELL AS ACCURACY WITH BOTH THE UPS AND THE USPS SERVICE.  THE DELIVERY FEE WILL BE BASED SOLELY UPON THE TRUE WEIGHT OF THE PARCEL TO BE MAILED, THE SIZE OF THE PARCEL, AS WELL AS THE DESTINATION ZIP CODE.  FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALL ITEMS THAT ARE SHIPPED WILL HAVE A SHIPMENT TRACKING NUMBER AND/OR INSURANCE COVERAGE (WHERE APPROPRIATE).  EITHER OF THESE METHODS WILL HELP TO ENSURE AGAINST EITHER LOSS OR DAMAGE.  THIS HAVING BEEN SAID, ALL SHIPPING COSTS REMAIN THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER UNLESS AGREED TO BY BOTH THE SELLER AND THE BUYER IN ADVANCE.

USPS POST OFFICE BOX HOLDERS – JUST A NOTE REGARDING UPS SHIPMENTS TO BUYERS WITH POST OFFICE BOXES AT THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE – THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE HAS A FIRM RULE: THEY DO NOT ACCEPT PARCELS THAT ARE DELIVERED BY THE UNITED PARCEL SERVICE.

INTERNATIONAL SERVICE – BIDDING IS LIMITED TO BUYERS WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ONLY.  THE LACK OF AN EFFECTIVE TRACKING PROCESS, HIGH SHIPPING CHARGES, ADDITIONAL CUSTOMS FEES, AND EXISORIAL FEES COMBINED WITH EXORBITANT TIME CONSTRAINTS, MAKE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.  IF YOUR SHIPPING LOCALE IS OUTSIDE OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES DO NOT BID ON THIS ITEM.  ‘RINGS ‘N’ THINGS’ WILL RE-ASSESS THIS SITUATION PERIODICALLY FOR POSSIBLE CHANGES IN SHIPPING PRACTICES.  WHILE I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT IT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CUSTOMER.

PAYPAL AND PAYMENT – PAYPAL IS THE ONLY METHOD OF PAYMENT ACCEPTED BY THIS SELLER.  NO OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.  IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT, DO NOT BID ON THIS ITEM.    WINNING ITEMS WILL BE SHIPPED PROMPTLY WITHIN TWO TO THREE DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT PAYPAL NOTES THE CONFIRMATION OF PAYMENT RECEIVED (UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED IN THE POSTING).  IT IS PREFERRED THAT PAYPAL PAYMENT BE MADE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION.  PAYMENT FOR ALL ITEMS WON, PLUS ALL RELATED SHIPPING COSTS, MUST BE MADE IN ONE SINGLE COMPLETE/FULL PAYMENT.  NO PARTIAL PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.  AS PER EBAY POLICY, PAYPAL PAYMENTS ARE REQUIRED NO LATER THAN FOUR DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION.  IF THE BUYER’S FULL PAYMENT HAS NOT BEEN MADE WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME, OR IF OTHER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED BY THE SELLER, A “NON-PAYING BIDDER NOTICE” WILL BE GENERATED THROUGH EBAY ON THE FIFTH DAY.

ITEMS THAT ARE LISTED “AS IS ITEMS” – ON RARE OCCASIONS, “RINGS ‘N’ THINGS” WILL LIST AN ITEM THAT IS BEING OFFERED IN “AS IS CONDITION.”  ALL INFORMATION AND THE PARTICULARS IN THE DESCRIPTION (INCLUDING ANY FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS) OF SUCH ITEMS MUST BE VERY CAREFULLY REVIEWED BY INTERESTED BUYERS PRIOR TO MAKING A BID.  RETURNS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, FOR AN “AS IS ITEM.”  AS ALWAYS, ASKING QUESTIONS IS ENCOURAGED.    

HASSLE-FREE RETURNS AND REFUNDS –RETURNS ARE ACCEPTED WITHOUT A HASSLE TO THE BUYER.  IF THERE ARE EVER CONCERNS REGARDING ANY MERCHANDISE PURCHASED, THOSE CONCERNS MUST BE VOICED TO THE SELLER VIA EBAY’S “CONTACT SELLER” OPTION ‘BEFORE’ ANY ACTION CAN BE TAKEN BY THE SELLER.  THE SELLER MUST ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE IN WRITING FIRST – BEFORE ANY ITEM IS RETURNED.  IN NEARLY ALL CASES, ISSUES OF CONCERN CAN BE RESOLVED ACCEPTABLY AS WELL AS EXPEDITIOUSLY.  THERE MUST BE A SPECIFIC AND A VALID REASON GIVEN FOR THE REQUEST TO RETURN AN ITEM AND RECEIVE A REFUND.  REFUNDS ARE ONLY MADE THROUGH PAYPAL.  THIS PROCESS REQUIRES THAT THE SELLER HAVE THE CORRECT EMAIL ADDRESS OF THE BUYER.  REFUNDS WILL BE POSTED THROUGH PAYPAL UPON THE PHYSICAL RECEIPT OF THE RETURNED ITEM/S.  ONCE A RETURN IS APPROVED BY THE SELLER, THE ITEM OR ITEM/S MUST BE SHIPPED IN THE SAME CARTON/SHIPPING CONTAINER THAT THEY WERE MAILED IN.  THE RETURNED MERCHANDISE MUST BE SHIPPED VIA UPS OR THE USPS ‘IN THE SAME MANNER AS WAS ORIGINALLY SENT – WITH USPS CONFIRMATION TRACKING OR A UPS TRACKING NUMBER.  IF THE ITEM/S WERE ORIGINALLY SHIPPED OUT AS INSURED, THE RETURNED ITEMS MUST ALSO BE MAILED AS INSURED AND FOR THE SAME INSURED VALUE.  THE SELLER WILL ADVISE THE BUYER REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF INSURANCE TO BE APPLIED PRIOR TO THE ITEM’S RETURN.  THE SHIPPING, TRACKING, AND INSURANCE FEES ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER.  THE RETURN MUST INCLUDE ALL OF THE COMPONENT PARTS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SHIPPED WITH THE ITEM.  THE ITEM AND ITS COMPONENT PARTS MUST BE IN THE SAME UNALTERED, UNDAMAGED, AND UNBROKEN CONDITION AS THEY WERE WHEN ORIGINALLY SHIPPED TO THE BUYER.  THE APPROPRIATE REFUND WILL BE ISSUED TO THE BUYER ONLY AFTER THE RECEIPT AND INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED ITEM/S.    

RETURNING AN ITEM AND “CAUSE” – AN ITEM MAY BE RETURNED TO THE SELLER FOR “CAUSE” IF IT HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTED BY THE SELLER IN THE DESCRIPTION PROVIDED IN THE EBAY POSTING.  FOR INSTANCE, AN EBAY POSTING THAT LISTS A “GUCCI WATCH” THAT IS, IN FACT, NOT A “GUCCI WATCH” – OR – A “LARGE AMETHYST GEODE” THAT IS, IN FACT, NOT “AMETHYST.”  WITH REGARDS TO CLOTHING ITEMS, SIZES ARE ALWAYS POSTED BASED UPON THE NOTATIONS PROVIDED FOR ON THE CLOTHING TAGS AS WELL AS THE CAREFUL MEASUREMENTS TAKEN WITH A TAILOR’S MEASURING TAPE.  A BUYER FINDING THAT “IT DOESN’T FIT” IS NOT “CAUSE” FOR A RETURN.  LIKEWISE, WHERE A CLOTHING ITEM HAS BEEN USED AND PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED, IT WILL BE NOTED IN THE DESCRIPTION AND, AS SUCH, AS NOT “CAUSE” FOR A RETURN.  OTHER REASONS WHICH DO NO SUPPORT “CAUSE” IN THE RETURN OF AN ITEM ARE “DISSATISFACTION WITH THE COLOR/S OF AN ITEM,” OR STATING “IT’S NOT WHAT I WANTED/EXPECTED.”
