AUCTION
TERMS - PLEASE READ!
As Linda Payne Autographs is a
secondary seller and not a sole seller we have found it necessary
to take a firm stance on merchandise guarantees and returns. We allow all items sold, except for the Bargain Bin and/or Scratch and Dent category, as noted in the listings, where
the sales are FINAL, to be returned within 15 days of receipt for a REFUND (less shipping costs). Any item not in the same
condition as when sent will be promptly returned to you and refund denied.
The item must be insured for the full purchase price. You must call us
at 262-598-8477 or email us to get a return authorization. Without
this authorization we will not accept your return. You must also include your sales
receipt, or if you have bought many items, a copy of receipt with item circled will suffice. Once
the item is received and we deem it's in the same condition and is the original item sent to you,
we'll immediately issue you a refund using the same method you used to pay us, unless you wish a
credit to use, without time limit, in any of our future autograph auctions.
Many of our items offered are consignments - but please note that everything you see up for bids in the
auctions are held here in our Racine, Wi. office and will be shipped directly from us to the high bidder. We personally inspect ALL items up for your consideration, to be sure of their authenticity before listing, so
BID WITH CONFIDENCE!
We
feel the 15 days will constitute your inspection period to check for undescribed
damages and authenticity. All items will be sold by their detailed descriptions
AS IS, with no further warranty expressed or implied. After the 15 days,
Linda Payne Autographs and its consigners will NOT be liable or
accept returns for any reason and the sale will be FINAL and BINDING.
As
an auction house we are attempting to provide you, our customers, with
a wide variety of wonderful items for your bidding consideration.
We screen all autographs presented for authenticity to provide quality
items. We will NEVER knowingly auction anything that we feel is not authentic
or as described to you. Therefore, we feel our 15 day return policy gives you adequate time to rely upon your own knowledge
and judgment concerning the purchase and whether it meets with your approval. It would not be listed if it
didn't meet with ours, but all auction items are being sold "WHERE IS, AS IS." After the 15 days has expired, no returns will be accepted for any reason,
our consigners will be paid for the items, and there are NO EXCEPTIONS
to this. We provide quality, large scans of items offered and expect you, as a buyer, to
examine these scans prior to bidding. BEFORE YOU BID make sure you are comfortable with the
item's authenticity. Please do not bid, win the item and then ask questions before you
decide to make payment. Remember, placing a bid in our auction is a legal and binding contract!
Feel free to email us BEFORE BIDDING with any questions
about an item or items you may have an interest in, and as mentioned, check out the images we provide to further
help you in deciding if this is an item you want to bid on and/or purchase.
A 5% BUYERS FEE WILL BE ADDED
ONTO ALL ITEMS FINAL SALE PRICE Everything sold has a 5% buyers fee added onto the final sale price.
We have found it necessary to implement this fee, and have kept it as low as possible, due to the rising costs of folks using credit cards,
Paypal and our overhead for supplies, etc. which has grown tremendously over the years.
Example - You purchase and win one autograph for $10.00. When you receive your winning bidder letter
at close of auction, you MUST add the extra 5% or 50 cents onto the sale price making it $10.50.
Then you figure your shipping/handling costs, postal insurance if USA order is $25 or higher and sales tax (if applicable). This will be the amount
you send us for payment. All items won must be prepaid in full before we ship. NO APPROVAL OR CODS.
Personal checks are welcome but shipment may be delayed until check clears
the bank up to 14 business days. We accept PAYPAL (user id for payment is lindapayneautographs@yahoo.com), VISA, MASTERCARD or DISCOVER
to speed up your order processing!
