    Buzwards eBay Listings Policy Details......
    Description:
    I buy and sell lots of stuff, and have 40+ years of experience, but I don't know everything.  I do my best to accurately identify the items that I put up for auction.  I may not get it exactly right every time, so I appreciate any information you might wish to provide.
    Condition:
    All of my items (unless otherwise noted) are acquired from yard and estate sales, flea markets, thrift shops and the like.  In other words, they are used.  I inspect all items and describe them to the best of my ability, though there could be some tiny flaws that I may have missed or condition issues that I deem insignificant.  I take a lot of pictures, so please view them closely as they complete and are an integral part of the description of the item you are bidding on.
    I do my best to capture the true color of the items that I am listing, but slight variations may occur based on lighting conditions and camera capability.
    Cleaning:
    I perform a precursory cleaning as part of my inspection, but any detailed cleaning will be the responsibility of you, the new owner, and based on your preference to detail.
    Packaging:
    I always pack very carefully, sometimes double boxing if I think it is appropriate.  Paper or items that could be damaged from exposure to moisture are usually sealed for protection.  I do recycle, so you could be getting packaging material that has been previously used, but it is clean.  I do have pets, though I do my best to avoid shipping kitty fur and doggy hair.
    Shipping and Handling Charges:
    Shipping charges are always as per eBay's shipping calculator.  I will often upgrade the method that you paid for if my discount allows.  Handling is almost never charged unless there is some extenuating circumstance, and that will be noted in the listing.
    Shipping time:
    I ship Priority whenever I can, no matter what you paid for, and package within 1 business day of your payment. Priority rates based on size (not weight) have gone up dramatically for 2022.  This limits my ability to upgrade on some packages.  Please
    check the tracking for delivery progress.  I always provide tracking.
    Local Pickup:
    Local pickup is always available at the following brick and mortar shops...
    Bernat Mill Antiques, 89 Elmdale Rd., Uxbridge, MA
    Jeremiah's Antiques, 26 Front St., Putnam, CT
    Freight Shipping;
    I offer freight shipping for items where standard shipping is for any reason not desirable.  If you are interested in any item that qualifies for freight shipping, please forward to me your shipping address so that I may obtain a quote.   The freight company that I use does not package or crate, but uses wraps and truck blankets for a safe journey.  The company is reputable, experienced, and very careful with items handling.  Progress updates are timely and accurate.
    Insurance:
    I insure all items .00 & over.  I ship Media Mail, 1st Class, Parcel Select, and Priority.  Insurance is automatically covered for up to 0.00 with Priority shipping.  If that doesn't cover the value of your item, I will pay for the appropriate amount of insurance to make sure it is.  I never charge you extra for insurance.
    If items are damaged in shipping, please
    take a photo
    of the item and all the packaging as you received it.  This is required for insurance coverage.
    Feedback:
    I feel that feedback is important.  I always leave feedback immediately upon shipping, and also when I receive something that I buy (I'm also a buyer).  I greatly appreciate your feedback as well.
    Returns:
    Though I do not generally accept returns, please contact me if something is really off from what you expected based on my description, and I will make it good.
