Use your peepers to scope these next 700ish words before you buy from me or send me a message that can be answered by looking closely at the photos.
WARNING: IF YOU ASK A QUESTION THAT CAN BE ANSWERED BY LOOKING AT PICS OR READING MY LISTING, SNARK WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN.
Sure, I could just answer you, and maybe I will, but being occasionally snarky brings me joy.
Read all the words and look at all the pretty pictures.  I know it's sometimes a lot to ask, you're busy, life is hard, but I have faith in you; know that once you buy this, it's yours.
If you decide you don’t want it, SELL IT.
I won’t cancel purchases once made unless I decide I don’t want to sell to you (I’m looking at YOU, buyer from somewhere other than the USA.)
Sales are final.
That means no take-backs or do-overs unless I made a mistake in the listing.
I stopped taking returns about the first time somebody said "I changed my mind," when they got that “free shipping” item I paid to send them.
Heck with that.  This is an online garage sale, a seedy virtual flea market.  A shady backalley swap meet with sweaty dudes selling questionable stuff out of rusty car trunks.  You pay me, I ship it to you, we’re done, the end.  One way trip from Coolsville to Yourtown.
This aint Amazon.
This here is fleabay.
DOES THIS ITEM LOOK GOLD IN THE PHOTOGRAPH?
Chances are good it’s actually BLACK PLASTIC,but sometimes the light tent combined with your screen give it a golden hue.
If you think whatever is pictured is gold in color, ASK ME before you buy.
IF THE ITEM ARRIVES BROKEN due to the games of pickup soccer played by bored Postal employees, please take the time to reach out to me and let’s chat before you start an official return.
In those circumstances, I’m willing to entertain a solution that’s fair to everyone.
DID I MAKE A MISTAKE?
Defecation happens, but there’s no reason for us to let it hit the oscillator.
TALK TO ME BEFORE YOU INITIATE A RETURN THROUGH EBAY IF I MADE A MISTAKE.
Give me a chance to set stuff right before you drop a negative feedback on me; yeah, I might tell you to kick rocks, but at least check in to see if I’m going to be a jerk first.
If you’re a decent human being and just talk to me, I’ll likely resolve the situation to everyone’s satisfaction (so long as “I decided I didn’t want this” isn’t your excuse to try and return something.
Safe to say I’ll tell you to kick rocks on that one).
Oh, and if you’re not based in the United States, with your final destination for the item within the USA, DO NOT BUY FROM ME OR CONTACT ME AT ALL.
I only sell to people based, and ship items to a final desitnation within, the lower 48 States of the USA.
I will cancel orders being shipped to freight forwarding services.
Note that if you buy something from me for around or more, you’re probably gonna be required to sign for the package, especially if it’s going to an apartment complex.
If my listing says “Free Shipping,” understand that translates “as cheap as I can send it,” so just deal with it being slow or maybe even Fedex, heaven forbid.
I know, Fedex stinks and I hate them too, but I’m running a business that sometimes navigates profit margins of as little as per unit sold, so slow shipping usually equals cheap.
As such, I might need you to provide something besides a PO Box; I’ll message you if this is the case.
Refusal to cooperate with me on that will result in a cancellation of your order.
Simply put, I’m not in this to give stuff away.
I’m in this as a side hustle to generate additional household income, and I price things so you get a bargain and I get some positive cashflow.
Sometimes that means using UPS or Fedex, and they don’t do PO Boxes.
Don’t whine to me about having to pay taxes on the stuff you buy.
That ain’t my fault.
Blame Congress and eBay and the devil, because sometimes they’re all one and the same.
Finally, PLEASE don’t message me asking where your package is & don’t ask ebay.
THEY DON’T KNOW EITHER.
We all have the exact same tracking information you do; I do not have a magic ebay seller connection at the Post Office to suddenly un-disappear your gear.
Pack your patience and manage expectations, and we’ll make it through this together, I promise.
