Back to table of Contents International Orders & APO Orders International orders will not be accepted at this time, Except for CANADA, as the shipping is outrageous and there is no way to insure items once they leave the USA. Once we find a way to get the shipping at reasonable costs and be able to insure we will ship internationally once more.

Back to table of Contents 10 day Limit Payment Issue Missing the payment on the 10-day limit on any auction will result in negative feedback! However if you miss the deadline and e-mail me before the deadline I will put your items on layaway (with a $5.00 layaway fee for 14 days.) That will give you a total of 24 days from the end of the auction to get the money to me (with the extra $5.00 fee). If you miss the layaway deadline you will receive negative feedback and the web mistress will be notified. You may not have more than one weeks auction items on lay away at any given time. Meaning you can't bid on several weeks' items and put them on lay way every week. You must be a responsible bidder with your bidding. The only exception to the ten (10) day limit is if you live outside of the continental USA. Let us know ahead of time and we will make reasonable adjustments in time for the mail to get it here. I have been pretty easy on this rule in the past but due to much misuse and abuse in the past I will have to stick to the rules from here on in, if that upsets you I am sorry but business is business. :-( Back to table of Contents Who to e-mail for payment questions ANY correspondence about money-payments-layaway needs to be directed to Lady Shadow Stalker as she is the accounting dept. and she tired of me messing up the books :-( Her e-mail is silverhoofs@att.net Please put Lady Shadow Stalker in the subject line.
