Disclaimer and notes on payment and shipping:

I prefer immediate paypal payment. if the combined shipping doesn't seem right, let me know, and I will send you an invoice. a week after i have not received payment, i file a non-paying bidder alert, after that, i end the non-paying bidder alert with a non-payment strike. please do not make up a story about how you accidentally bought the item or lie to me about having sent payment. ebay charges me money for listing and selling items, and the non-paying bidder process is how i get it back. if this process makes me enemies, well, i am sorry. i don't just do this just for "kicks." every time i end the non-paying bidder process, i look at my checkbook balance for pity. currently there is none. thank you, please pay.

I combine shipping: i am not out to make a profit on postage and, like you, i have been disappointed when i buy a cheap item and the shipping (and handling) amount seems outrageous. so, read on...

in the USA i charge the shipping amount for the first (or largest) item, and that is it. if i can, i sometimes send the items media mail, or flat-rate priority mail box. for example, in the united states, if you order 100 comic books, you pay shipping for one comic book, i pay the rest. once your item is shipped you should receive a email from paypal with the confirmation number. if you are not having your item shipped to the USA please forget the paragraph you just read.

to other countries (not the united states of america) thank you for your business, but i cannot charge you the same postage rate as the united states, or ship additional items for free. please do not think i can. i charge actual postage though (no handling), so, if you cannot figure it out yourself from the rates from the USPS website, ask me to send an invoice with the total. in a few cases, i can send items in a flat rate global priority envelope. this works good for multiple 7 inch records, comic books, and magazines. not all countries are available.

I pack items carefully and professionally, but i am not responsible for items lost or damaged by the post office, so if you live in a country (like Italy,sorry) where the post office delays or loses mail, we may have to ship items insured parcel post. i file a customs form as proof of shipment, but if you are not cool with this, you are welcome to send a UPS call tag or have me ship to a USA address, or we can work something out. i don't ship items "surface"

when you pay for multiple items with paypal, please pay for them in one paypal payment, or i get gouged with fees. you can wait for auctions to close to combine the shipping, but it has to be within a week when all is said and done.

FEEDBACK: since i sell hundreds of items every week, i don't manually leave feedback, it is automatically left when the item is paid for and the buyer leaves feedback for me.

Thank you,

Joe Franke.
