Do not use eBay check-out.
Overseas bidders must pay by 14 days.
European bidders outside of France must pay by 10 days.
French bidders must pay by 8 days.
This applies once the high bidder is given the total amount to pay including shipping. Unless agreed before end of auction, we will not accept slow payments due to holidays or similar reasons. Too many people have been abusing of such "reasons" while internet is widely accessible nowadays.
EXCEPT CASH WHICH CAN BE SENT IN USD, ALL OTHER PAYMENTS MUST BE MADE IN EURO.
(Euro conversion using XE.COM as of auction close).
We accept the following methods of payment:
- PayPal: add 5% to the total including shipping. We do not accept other online payments like BidPay, Nochex, etc.
- Money Orders (Western Union, etc) in EURO ONLY.
- Cash in USD or EURO and raised to the next 5 euros if not in USD (this is still cheaper than a money order).
- For payments over €200 we can take travellers cheques in EURO currency ONLY.
- Wire transfers (bank to bank) are accepted in EURO currency ONLY. Please add 15 euros for bank charges if your are outside of Europe.
- Foreign drafts in EURO only (these are bank checks issued by a french division of a foreign bank so that the money travels between two french banks, hence no expensive charges on our side).
- French buyers can pay by personal check (held until clears).
Serious buyers with whom we already made successful transactions can split their payment under certain conditions (please email us).
In any case, NO shipping until full payment is received.
BY BIDDING YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH THESE TERMS.
SHIPPING:
International bidders are welcome but no complaint against expensive shipping costs will be accepted.
Because we run a shop, we can only pack buyer's item(s) outside of our opening hours. Therefore, items are usually shipped in two or three weeks. For these reasons buyer's urgencies won't become ours.
Buyer can collect his item(s) at our shop (address and opening hours here). In this case, all items must be paid on time and will be kept maximum one month. After this time the transaction will be void and the payment will be lost. If shipping is desired, buyer will pay actual shipping costs, which are not negociable. We reserve the right to charge the packing material purchased to ship buyer's item(s). Used packing packing material is always free. We do not charge other handling fees.
Please note that some items won't be shipped. This will be mentioned in items description should this be the case.
We can ship normal AirMail (usually 4 to 10 days) or economy AirMail (about 3 weeks). There is no insurance over $60 for international shipping except with the special Chronopost service, which is very fast (typically 2-3 days) but very expensive. We can ship registered (signature on arrival) to make sure your goods arrive safe, however this usually takes 15 to 20 days. We can also ship UPS, FedEx or DHL upon request, but this will cost much more than the usual Post office rates.
We pack our items very well. We want them to arrive to you like we would like to receive them. However, we cannot be held responsible for items lost, stolen or damaged during transit. Such problems can only be solved with the posts.
BIDDING / FEEDBACK:
Positive feedback will be given to all successfull transactions paid on time.
We will post our feedback after having recieved yours. We apologize for doing this but too many people forgot to post theirs once we posted ours.
We will cancel and block without exception:
- Users with recent negative feedbacks.
- Users with an old account showing low activity.
- Suspicious bids, especially those placed to make underbidders pay the maximum.
- Users retracting their bid(s) in a suspicious manner, especially to guess the underbidder's maximum bid in order to bid again just under this amount so as to make him pay the maximum.
Do not bid at the last second: many other bidders do the same thing and this won't give you another chance to win.
We will not accept any bid retraction unless you bid again in the next two minutes and show that your previous bid was indeed mistaken.
To be fair with everyvbody we will not end this auction early and we will refuse personal offers.
Negative feedback will be left to deadbit bidders or late payments. Non payers will be blocked and reported to eBay. We fill non-payment disputes and respond to unfair and retaliatory feedback.
MISC:
All items are sold as described, AS IS, without warranty.
No returns will be accepted unless evident mistakes were made in the item description.
What is pictured here is what you get: do not assume anything else is included in the auction unless specified.
We only use our own pictures and do not alter them to fake the condition of our items.
Again, if you have any question, please ask before bidding.
