What if my purchase gets lost or damaged in the mail?
Hopefully you opted for the insurance, especially if the item was expensive. If you need the receipts to file a damage claim, I can send them to you. In the event you did not opt for insurance, we will need to work it out between us. I hold all receipts just about forever. If you want the numbers from or a scan of the receipt, just let me know.

What if I can't pay up right away?
If you are having financial difficulties, please just let me know. I'm willing to work with you where I can. eBay's system only gives us about 30 days to work it out, so our time frame is limited

Why do you hold checks? How long do you hold them?
I hold checks to avoid having any out of pocket expenses if the check bounces. For small amounts, I generally do not hold checks. It is for checks that are a large dollar amount or counter checks. I notify buyer of the hold and provide information to them when the check has cleared and that I am now shipping the merchandise.
