I am listing 2 plaques today from a local estate. One piece carvings, I believe they are Black Forest pieces.9 1/2" by 12 1/2"This carving is a truly extraordinary genre piece. One of the figures is a travelling salesman of clocks. Every clock her has is stacked and on display, much like the hat dalesman who would have had a dozen on his head in a pile. The girl is carrying a flower basket. The major structure has cart wheels on the second level and may have been a private barn or some sort of livery business. At the right, there is a grinding mill. The craftsman has really packed a lot into this beautiful little sculpture.If you are purchasing more than a single item, the calculator feature on ebay does its best and is occasionally accurate. The more you purchase, the farther off the mark the calculator can be. It's really pretty simple. If I The Ebay machine tries hard but I'm the one to make the best choice for shipping a package after all is said and done. If shipping seems way off, just bring it to my attention before deciding not to purchase. If you make the purchase and the automated invoice looks incorrect, SAY something. Don't just blindly pay when that darned automated screen insists that you pay - pay - pay - NOW - NOW - NOW.I ship by FedEx and the post office, depending on cost and whether I think one can handle your package better than the other. ...............Good job, you found the listing. So many of my shoppers are pretty new. Here are a few things that no one will probably tell you, but EVERYone will expect you to know. Customer Service is something that we have a right to expect when we are shoppers. All stores have a CS Department and it is busy all the time. If you require CS in this life, that does NOT mean that life sucks and the store sucks and your experience has been rotten. If it did, there would be no stores open anywhere in the world or else CS would have to put up bullet proof kiosks, right? As a shopper, your responsibilities, along with paying of course, include reading your email. Is your email address on file current??? CS issues sometimes arise prior to shipping. Maybe the wind crashes a shelf and your item is broken, no longer available. It would be best if the seller could inform you prior to that angry email from you that says , Hey, where's my stuff??? There are all sorts of reasons for a seller to contact you, things that don't come up in a face to face purchase. So, the shopping is easy, but check your SPAM/BULK filters for emails that could be important. Most of us are running little part time businesses. We work alone, have no fill in employee, and thanks to the internet, we make things available to folks all over the world, things we could never afford to truck around to some place where you might notice it. We all want things to go smoothly and we're all learning as we go. OK, now have a good time. Eva . . . . . . . . . . .. Now, you'd think I didn't have to say this, but read the doggone listing. If I sell you a "pink vase", don't say you're upset because it is pink. If I sell a pattern called "smooth Edwardian" don't say you don't want it because it is smooth. Really, I have had this happen. If the name of the pattern is in CAPS and your objection is because you didn't read the name in the item title and didn't look at the picture, don't tell ebay the "item is not as described". Really. I don't invent this stuff, it really happens. Oh, and items received broken are a claim, not a "return because the item is not as described." You may not realize that ebay has penalties against sellers who deliver items that are not as described. If the package is smashed, it is a claim, not a return. We are both victims when there is a claim. "Not as described" implies that the seller was trying to cheat you in some way............And now we come to the RETURNS issue. I am not the Mall. Don't shop to pump up your endorphins and then expect cash back to ... read more
