Conditions of SaleInvoices and payment : I usually send invoices immediately after the auction but in any case within 24 hours. Please pay within 10 days because thereafter, I reserve the right to list the item again. Of course, let me know if there is any problem with paying.Shipping time : I try to ship within three days of receiving payment confirmation. If I can’t for some reason, I’ll let you know. If Paypal says your address is unconfirmed, I’ll ask you to confirm your address before shipping so I can be sure I am mailing your package to the correct address.
