This is legalese.   Now to say it again in English, I am not responsible for any warranties, guarantees and/or any incompatibility for your use.    All merchandise I sell is “AS IS” with no returns any kind or for any reason unless the paragraph below is agreed upon.  I have had to institute this policy due to some previous bad experiences with eBay bidders about returning items they obviously did not really want in the first place (buyers remorse,) and this has left me no choice since it is costly for me.  I am not responsible for non-compatibility for your actual use or machine if this is electronics or computer related merchandise. If for any reason I agree to any return (e.g., if the item is not described as above) then I will "at my sole discretion" replace the unit with a similar to or equivalent to unit, or refund the purchase price, but I will NOT refund shipping costs stated in the auction, and the return shipping cost to me shall be borne by the buyer and is at the buyer's sole cost and expense.  In addition 25% of the purchase price will be charged for restocking. This disclaimer above in no way affects the terms of the manufacturer's warranty, if any.  Other restrictions may apply depending upon the manufacturer.   Warranty service (if any) is through the manufacturer as the original equipment manufacture (OEM). I do not facilitate warranties.  The buyer must directly address all warranty concerns/issues with the manufacturer.  This policy is not negotiable for any reason and if you prefer not to bid on the auction because of this policy, it is your discretion.  If you do elect to participate in the bidding be advised again that no exceptions will be made to my policy. SHIPPING and INSURANCE:   Buyer will pay fixed packing, handling and shipping charges of $ 9.75 for shipments within the Lower Continental U.S (Lower 48 States.) This will include a charge for delivery confirmation if USPS is used for shipments   An additional cost, to be determined after the end of the auction will be assessed if shipments are to Alaska, Hawaii, US Territories, APO, FPO, or International Destinations.  For such cases I will provide the buyer with a separate shipping quote/cost after the auction has ended.   Insurance is REQUIRED FOR ALL SHIPMENT FROM NOW ON -- THANK PAYPAL FOR THIS at an adder of $ 3.40 to the shipping cost stated above.  If insurance is not elected then I will not be responsible for lost or damaged items during shipping.   I will ship internationally and continue to have good success with shipping to my international customers and welcome them to bid/buy.  I have shipped many items TO ASIA, SOUTHEAST ASIA, AUSTRALIA, EUROPE/EASTERN EUROPE/UKRAINE/RUSSIA ETC., GREECE, IRELAND, ISRAEL, JAPAN, ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA, UAE, UK, (WILL NOT SHIP TO INDONESIA, NIGERIA) to name a few international locations.    I normally use USPS or FedEx Ground for U.S. shipments, USPS almost exclusively for international shipments. For items shipped with USPS (Domestic US) I require delivery confirmation to be placed on all shipment and the shipping rate includes this requirement.  I will also consider shipping by other methods if requested by buyer.  Expedited shipping methods (e.g., USPS Express Mail, FedEx overnight,  etc. can be discussed on a case by case basis and buyer is responsible for all costs associated with such requested expedited shipping methods.    Most of my international shipments for small items such as this drive or memory use USPS 1st Class International Mail at the buyer’s request, however insurance is NOT available for this method and I will NOT be liable for any loss or damage.  For International shipments the only methods that allow for insurance is Express MAIL or Priority MAIL    I strongly recommend international shipments by a method to include insurance (if available) or registered USPS mail.  FedEx Air is also an option but is expensive.  I will NOT use UPS.  This is the buyer’s option. However I will state it again that I will NOT be liable for any international shipments lost or damaged that do not include insurance.     PAYMENT:   Buyer shall contact Seller within 3-days of close of Auction.  Payment must be made by buyer, and received by me, in 5 business days   Buyer will pay Seller by Cashiers Check, Money Order, Personal Check (item shipped when personal check clears, or sometimes I ship immediately or the next day after receipt,) or PayPal within 5-days of close of Auction.    CONTACT INFORMATION: Robert C.

ADD TO THE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AMOUNT $ 15.00 WHICH IS MY EXACT OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR SENDING MONEY ORDERS, CHECKS ETC. FOR COLLECTION AT THE BANK.  THIS IS ACTUAL AMOUNT I HAVE TO PAY   NOTE: POLICY FOR DOMESTIC US SALES - MONEY ORDERS, (IF NOT A LEGITIMATE POSTAL MONEY ORDER) OR BANK CHECKS (IF THE ABA ROUTING NUMBER IS NOT LISTED WITH THE BANKS AS A VALID ONE) WILL REQUIRE CLEARANCE AND PAYMENT BY MY BANK THROUGH THE FEDERAL RESERVE OR POSTAL AUTHORITY.  IN SUCH CASE(S) I INCUR A $15.00 OUT OF POCKET FEDERAL RESERVE CHARGE FOR CLEARANCE AND THIS AMOUNT WILL BE ADDED TO THE HANDLING CHARGE IN THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING AMOUNT.  THIS CLEARANCE  WILL NORMALLY TAKE 14+ DAYS TO CLEAR THE FEDERAL RESERVE.  I AM SORRY TO HAVE TO DO THIS  BUT DUE TO THE RASH OF FAKE MONEY ORDERS AND BANK CHECKS DRAWN WITHOUT LEGITIMATE aba/ROUTING NUMBERS I FIND THAT CLEARANCE IS TAKING SOME TIME AND I WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL PAYMENT CLEARS NOTE: ADD $ 15.00 TO THE SHIPPING AMOUNT IF PAYING BY MONEY ORDER, CHECK ETC.  SAME AS FOR INTERNATIONAL SINCE I SEND ALL OF THESE FOR COLLECTION NOW.   MY BANK WILL NOT DIRECTLY DEPOSIT THESE DUE TO THE FAKE ONES PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED.  THE EXCEPTION IS A US POSTAL MONEY ORDER WITH THE HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGE IMBEDDED IN THE DOCUMENT -- NO HAVE THE IMAGE IT IS FAKE.   GENERAL:   FOR NOW ONLY, I support, and participate in, eBay's feedback system. THE REASON I SAY NOW IS THAT I DISAGREE WITH EBAY'S RULES OF BEING UNABLE TO LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK TO BUYERS.  THE NON PAYING BIDDER STRIKES THAT EBAY GIVES ARE WORTHLESS SINCE I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE WITH MULTIPLE STRIKES SUSPENDED.  BUYERS RECEIVING NON PAYER STRIKES FROM MY AUCTIONS ARE STILL ACTIVE MEMBERS AND BIDDING ON AUCTIONS.  NON PAYING BIDDERS COST ME TIME AND MONEY SINCE EBAY TIME LINE FOR REPORTING THEM AND THEN UNTIL YOU CAN CLOSE THE DISPUTE IS OVER 15 DAYS.   In the past I welcomed new eBay buyers with zero (0) feedback to my auctions since I too was once new with 0 feedback and I have to appreciate those just starting out.  However the following NON PAYING 0 FEEDBACK BIDDERS has happened too many times.   Therefore if any bidders with 0 feedback wish to participate in this auction they must contact me first for approval or I will cancel the bid.    I also reserve the right to: (1) cancel any bid from a buyer who has excessive negative or hidden feedback (AH CANNOT DO THAT ANY LONGER SINCE BUYERS CAN NEVER RECEIVE A NEGATIVE ANYMORE PER EBAY RULES,) (2) end an auction at any time if the item is sold locally prior to the end of the auction, or for any other reason. Note: All items I sell on eBay are also on sale to my private customer base either regionally, locally and/or internationally.   SquareTrade © squaretrade warranty v2.0 Place a Bid!
