International Sales Policies

Ask for a shipping price quote in advance since higher shipping rates and handling charges apply to shipments outside the USA.

• Customs valuation will be the price you paid us for the item(s) in the shipment.

• All customs, duties, import fees, and taxes are between buyers and their government (they are your responsibility).

• We will not mark the package as a Gift since it is merchandise you purchased from us.

• Invoice will be included in package.

• Invoice number will be marked on customs form.

• You must supply us with your valid, working telephone number.

• We can only ship your package to the address provided on the payment transaction page, not to a third party.

• Items with a value of $250 or more will be sent by Express Mail International and will require your signature.
   

This is to comply with the law, to be honest, and for your protection as well as ours. Please understand there will be NO exceptions, we honor a strict policy of honesty.

Since customs policies vary widely from country to country, you should contact your local customs office for further information if you do not have experience in this area.

Payment Methods We Accept for International Sales

PAYPAL -- Going through PayPal will allow you to use a credit card, personal check, or bank transfer to pay for your auction transaction … (sorry, but we cannot accept those directly). PayPal accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Conducting online transactions this way increases your safety by keeping your financial account information private. We are Verified members with PayPal's Buyer Protection Policy coverage.

If you're not familiar with this free service used by more than 193 million online consumers, the funds would be transferred to our PayPal account after you fund your account with either a credit card, personal check, or electronic bank transfer. This is the preferred method of payment because of its speedy, free money transfer which enables us to ship the product sooner (no delay from waiting for your payment to arrive through the mail). You are immediately granted a $1,000 initial spending limit, which you can later lift by completing their Verification process. You can withdraw the money from your account at any time through bank transfer or the debit card (which also doubles as a cash back MasterCard for spending too, by the way). It takes literally 2 minutes to open an account. The majority of our auction customers pay through PayPal. NOTE: You must register a credit card to open a PayPal account even if you don't plan to use it to fund your account.

NOTE: The only PayPal transactions which clear instantly are those funded by a credit card or your PayPal balance. If you choose the eCheck as a payment option, please note that the product you are purchasing cannot be shipped until funds clear our PayPal account. Since an eCheck is an electronic funds transfer that withdraws money directly from your bank account, PayPal holds the transaction as pending for 3-4 business days, until the electronic funds transfer has cleared both banks. If your bank initially declines the electronic funds transfer, the payment can be delayed for up to an additional 7 business days. Most customers choose to use the instant payment option rather than the eCheck.

WESTERN UNION -- Your payment can be made with cash at a nearby agent location, by U.S. bank issued Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card over the Internet, or by credit card over the telephone. I pick up the payment at an agent location in a matter of minutes or hours. Available in over 200 countries. Western Union payments must be in the exact amount of the transaction (there are NO exceptions to this policy).

ESCROW.COM -- This will allow you to place money in the custody of a trusted third party. The money is then paid to the seller once the item is received and inspected by the buyer. USA buyers can pay escrow.com with a check, money order, PayPal, wire transfer, and in most cases with a credit card. International buyers must pay escrow.com by wire transfer. Please visit the escrow.com site to be sure you can use it. NOTE: There is a fee to use this service, a minimum of $25. We usually ask the buyer to pay this fee, but on some items we may be able to split the fee with you 50/50. Contact us to inquire if your transaction qualifies for this discount.
(Escrow cannot be used to purchase software, digital media, or written materials.)

Escrow.com is the recommended transaction settlement service of many of the top names in eCommerce, including eBay. It is a privately held company that has pioneered the process of online escrow services. The Company, founded in 1999 by Fidelity National Financial, has established itself as the leading provider of secure business and consumer transaction management on the Internet. Since this is the only escrow service approved by eBay, we will NOT use any other escrow company, so please do not even ask. This is for your protection and ours.
