and Frequently Asked Questions...
MY SALES POLICIES 
1.  DESCRIPTION AND REFUNDS
email me
I try to describe everything as accurately as possible.  I want all buyers to be happy with their purchases.  Please ask questions BEFORE you bid or buy.  If there is a major problem with an ebay item I will do my best to work it out (unless an item is stated as being sold AS IS).  Any refunds that are given will be less postage/insurance.  

All sales list models are sold as is!   
2. FEEDBACK
I leave feedback for every ebay transaction, I would appreciate yours in return!
3. METHODS OF PAYMENT
I accept the following methods of payment:

UNITED STATES POSTAL MONEY ORDER  
NO other Money Orders, Sorry!!

INTERNATIONAL POSTAL MONEY ORDER
Must be in U.S. dollars.

PAYPAL
All credit card users MUST have a confirmed shipping address and references.

CASH
Send cash only at your own risk, I do not recommend it at all.

I NO LONGER ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS!   A few too many bad apples and all that...
TRADES
There are no trades on ebay items (unless item does not sell).  Trades are considered payment and MUST ARRIVE FIRST before item is sent.  
4. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
5. SHIPPING
I ship via US Postal Service and Fed Ex Ground ONLY.  All postage must be PREpaid.  No shipping on account, sorry.

Be sure and check my other auction items, I combine shipping on multiple purchases to save you money.  On larger packages it may actually be cheaper to ship in several smaller boxes.

All items will be shipped within 4 business days.  Money Orders from other sources besides Postal or the USPS are treated as  checks. and are not accepted.  
6. INSURANCE
Insurance is included on all purchases even international so please factor this in your customs fees when buying.

I pack my items very well and have only had to file 3 claims for breakage (packed by me) over the past 40+ years.

Insurance is optional for INTERNATIONAL buyers only when paid for by cash or PP Friends and Family but buyer assumes liability for damage or loss.   Remember that international packages are now taking anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months to arrive even shipping priority or first class!

If your item does suffer damage, Be SURE to follow the following instructions:

1. Email me FIRST, I will tell you how to proceed.
2. Do NOT throw away ANY of the packing material or box.
3. DO NOT SEND THE ITEM BACK.

Failing to follow these guidelines will NEGATE your insurance with the carrier.  
8.  HOLDS ON SALESLIST MODELS
Unless you tell me that you are mailing the payment that day, holds do not exist.  Sorry!  Another case of a few bad apples spoiling it for everyone.  If payment is on the way I will hold the model for 7 days.   After that it is first come, first serve.  Limited exceptions granted for international buyers.  
THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY!     
7. BAD CHECKS
BACK TO BAYOU WORKSHOPS HOME
I DO NOT SHIP TO SECONDARY ADDRESSES.  I will only ship to your confirmed/registered (PP, ebay) addresses or to the address on your check/MO.    No exceptions, sorry.   BE SURE YOUR ADDRESS IS CORRECT WHEN SENDING PAYMENT!
AH!  This is why I no longer accept checks!
I ship to the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK.  Overseas buyers must be previous buyers or have current references.
Postage is no longer included unless stated in description.  Postage rates are figured by weight, size and shipping zone.
