A NOTE ABOUT FEEDBACK AND THE DETAILED SELLER RATING SYSTEM: THIS SYSTEM IS GEARED TOWARD PROVIDING BUYERS WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE DEALING EXPERIENCE, WHICH I AS A SELLER CERTAINLY CONDONE. THE SYSTEM HOWEVER IS BIASED AND INACCURATE; ALTHOUGH A RATING OF 4 IS SAID TO BE GOOD; IN REALITY AN OVERALL SELLER RATING OF 4 WILL CAUSE THAT SELLERS ACCOUNT TO BE SUSPENDED. THEREFORE, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE LEAVE 5'S IN ALL CATEGORIES FOR OUR TRANSACTIONS OR CONTACT ME TO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FELT WAS NOT 100% SATISFACTORY. WHILE MANY BUYERS ARE UNAWARE OF THIS, THE DSR RATING AFFECTS SUCH SELLER ASPECTS AS HOW THE LISTINGS ARE PRESENTED, OUR ABILITY TO LIST ITEMS AT ALL; OUR FEE SCHEDULE FOR LISTING ITEMS, AND OTHER SUCH FACTORS. IT MAY SEEM TRIVIAL TO THE BUYER, BUT TO US AS SELLERS IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT EBAY CHARGES FEES NOT ONLY ON THE SALE PRICE OF ITEMS BUT ALSO ON SHIPPING CHARGES, SO AS SUCH THE ACTUAL SHIPPING COSTS ON YOUR ITEM MAY SHOW AS A BIT LESS THAN THE CHARGES IN THE DESCRIPTION. THANK YOU. IMPORTANT NOTE: IN RECENT MONTHS BIDDERS HAVE BEGUN HOLDING OFF PLACEMENT OF ANY BIDS UNTIL NEAR AUCTION END. THIS PRESENTS A PROBLEM FOR US SELLERS AS THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT WHAT ITEMS MAY OR MAY NOT SELL. AS A RESULT I REGULARLY END AUCTIONS ON ITEMS THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO BIDS SO AS TO OFFER THESE ITEMS AT LIVE ANTIQUE SHOWS AND FAIRS. AS SUCH, IF YOU HAVE SINCERE INTEREST IN ONE OF MY AUCTION FORMAT LISTINGS THEN I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU PLACE AT LEAST A MINIMUM BID TO ENSURE THAT THIS ITEM WILL NOT BE PULLED FROM AUCTION WITHOUT WARNING. OTHERWISE, YOU MAY WELL BE DISAPPOINTED LATER WHEN YOU DO DECIDE TO ENTER A BID ONLY TO FIND THAT THE AUCTION HAS CLOSED AND THAT THE ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
