Minor corner bendsA good nights work by Les Knight (RAAF) in N Nancy 2 months earlierNote postage is a deliberately high estimate and I refund difference after posting. Makes for quicker despatch.TERMS & CONDITIONSPlease note I can only post items on a Monday bacause I am at work during the rest of the week. As I am listing on a free listing day for 7 days, the item will end on a Saturday or Sunday. If you pay me before Sunday Evening, the item can be despatched the next day. However if payment is after Sunday despatch will be the following Monday unless you let me know there is a special need for a quicker delivery.I have entered the maximum of 10 days for despatch time. Most dispatch times will be far quicker than this but if there are a lot of items sold, it may take longer to pack the items than just one day and despatch may have to be the following Monday. If you are happy with the item please dont leave low rating on despatch time as this equates to the same as negative feedback and ebay will no longer invite me to free list. I list lots of interesting things and if I get more than three 1's or 2's on feedback dashboard I will not be listing stuff again. As someone who also buys from ebay, I fully appreciate why there are less interesting things being listed on ebay. Also remember shipment is outside of my control. Just because Royal Mail or an Overseas carrier have taken excess time delivering the item is not a good reason to penalise me. Please be assured I will do all the chasing in the event of an item going missing or more likely late arrival..Postage cost is just an estimate because Ebay system requires me to put one in. I have deliberately over estimated the postage in order to cover all the options. If the item sells for a lower amount it will not require so much insurance so postage will be less. I will try and send an invoice on the day item ended, but if you pay before I have sent more accurate postage I always refund the difference in postage payment. I do not add packaging surcharges and try to find you the cheapest way to send item. I use recycled supermarket boxes and pass on the savings by adding no charge for packing. Please leave feedback after you have received your item and are happy with it.I will respond with mine within two weeks. I prefer to do feedback in a batch.If the high bidder does not pay for the item within 10 days of the auction ending, I reserve the right to relist it or offer it to another bidder.I attempt to describe accurately and honestly, including any defects but I cannot know all that you may want/require of a particular item. If in doubt, please e-mail for further information / pictures before bidding. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are at all unhappy with your purchase.I will do my utmost to rectify the problem.If an item is not as described I will accept it back for a full refund, provided it is returned to me in the condition I supplied it to you . Otherwise, sales are Final. Please do not worry if by chance your item gets lost in the post, I will do all the chasing up and try my hardest to locate it for you. If unfortunately it does go completely missing,then I will refund you and deal with the postal service myself.I always obtain proof of posting and I use the following services -items up to £46.00 in value - Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Delivery. items over £46.00 in value - Royal Mail Special Delivery (which guarantees next day delivery and provides three levels of possible compensation up to a market value of £2,500.)
