I have partnered with a group of fantastic individuals in Beijing that had access to and traded directly with athletes, sponsors, officials, and fellow collectors from around the globe. They shipped pins to me in frequent intervals so that I could offer them to you. What this means is that here is an opportunity for you to get your hands on some of the current HOT TRADERS and MOST RARE PINS that came DIRECTLY FROM BEIJING! Condition of items for sale: All pins are new or in like-new condition unless otherwise noted. Shipping and Handling cost for individual pin auctions: Please keep in mind that shipping and handling involves much more than the mere postage. It also covers the cost of shipping materials (padded envelopes, bubble wrap, foam padding, cartons, labels, tape, printing supplies, ect.) and any time associated with packing your item(s) properly and getting the package to the appropriate carrier. • Domestic winners are to pay $3.00 for 1st class mail or $6.50 for Priority Mail to destinations within the United States. Any level of UPS delivery that is available to your address is also an option. Please email me for cost. • International winners are to pay $3.50 for USPS 1st Class Airmail to destinations outside the United States. Any level of UPS delivery that is available to your address is also an option. Please email me for cost. International payments are to be paid in US funds by PayPal International, International Postal Money Orders, personal checks drawn on a US bank, or USD cash only. Shipping and Handling cost for multiple pin auctions: Please realize that eBay charges us for every auction we list and also takes a percentage of the final price of every individual auction that sells. On top of this, PayPal (if used for payment) takes a percentage of every payment we recieve. In order for us to keep offering pins at reasonable prices, we need to charge a handling fee for each individual auction to help offset these costs. If you are a winner of a multi-pin auction or multiple auctions that end within a 3 day period (72 hours) of each other, I will gladly combine the items into one shipment to save you on shipping costs. Otherwise, each auction or 3-day block of auctions must be completed separately. No exceptions. When paying for multiple pin auctions, one single payment must be made in order to receive the following combined shipping rates: • Domestic winners are to pay $3.00 for 1st class mail or $6.50 for Priority Mail to destinations within the United States for the 1st pin. Please add an additional $1.00 for each pin after that. Shipping and Handling will be calculated using the following formula: Total S&H = $3.00 1st Class or $6.50 Priority for the 1st pin + $1.00 for 2nd pin + $1.00 for 3rd pin, etc. Any level of UPS delivery that is available to your address is also an option. Please email me for cost. • International winners are to pay $3.50 for USPS 1st Class Airmail to destinations outside the United States for the 1st pin. Please add an additional $1.00 for each pin after that. Shipping and Handling will be calculated using the following formula:Total S&H = $3.50 USPS 1st Class Airmail for 1st pin + $1.00 for 2nd pin + $1.00 for 3rd pin, etc. International payments are to be paid in US funds by PayPal, International Postal Money Orders, personal checks drawn on a US bank, or USD cash only. Insurance coverage (damaged or lost items): All items are packed securely in sturdy materials to protect from damage or loss. Although we take great care in packaging the items to prevent damage during transit and have not encountered many instances of “lost” mail, we will not be held responsible for such occurrences if insurance is not purchased. Insurance is extra and is the responsibility of the buyer. Unless you have chosen to have your item(s) sent via UPS, your items are not insured unless you request this option and pay accordingly before shipment takes place. When shipping via the postal service we do not use the insurance coverage provided by the USPS, but rather from a third party (Stamps.com). The optional insurance rate listed for this auction (if being offered) is for up to $50 in coverage. Please note that in some cases we will self-insure the package when the buyer does pay for this insurance coverage. The insurance rates posted for this auction do not apply to international shipments. We do not insure packages being sent overseas unless they are shipped via UPS. We will not be responsible for lost or damaged international shipments that are not sent via UPS. Please email me before the auction's end if you would like to know the actual cost before placing a bid. Return / Refund policy: All auction sales are final unless otherwise noted! So make sure you want what you bid on. Please email us before placing a bid if you are unsure of anything and/or have any questions. Due to the nature of the collecting hobby, we do not accept returns other than items that were insured (see above) and were damaged during transit. If your insured item does arrive damaged, you must notify us of the situation within 14 days of receipt. We will then make arrangements to have the item returned to us and/or begin steps in filing the insurance claim. Upon return receipt of the original item, a replacement will then be sent if available or a full refund of the item's original sale price will be made (original shipping excluded) at the seller's discretion. Non-Responsive / Non-Paying Bidders: eBay will send a winning bid notification and an invoice upon the ending of each auction. Please reply to us, supplying your address and also letting us know what payment method you plan on using. If we do not receive this reply within 3 days of the auction's end, a courtesy reminder invoice will be sent in case the first email didn’t arrive or if you simply forgot. If no reply to this email is received within an additional 4 days, an “Unpaid Item Reminder” will be sent through the eBay system and an "Unpaid Item Dispute" opened. This reminder does not affect your eBay account in any way. It is just a friendly service provided by eBay that starts a set of onsite and email communications reminding you that it is time to pay, giving you instructions on how to do so, and allowing for structured communication with us.In all cases, except if previous arrangements are made, if payment is not received within 14 days of the auction end, we will be forced to close the "Unpaid Item Dispute" in order to file for a Final Value Fee credit with eBay. This will unfortunately result in you receiving an “Unpaid Item Strike” against your eBay account, which may result in the suspension of your account. It is our experience that most eBayers are good, honest people and luckily these extreme cases are rare. For that reason, we do not take pleasure in taking this last measure, but will when necessary. Our Feedback policy: Once you receive your item(s), we would appreciate if you would leave whatever feedback you deem appropriate (hopefully positive). We will then certainly do the same for you. It is our policy to make sure that the transaction has gone through smoothly and that there were no problems, or if there were any snags on either end, that they were resolved before we leave feedback. Your leaving feedback is the final indication that all is well. Once we receive your feedback, we will gladly return the gesture. Other terms: This transaction may be considered void if payment is not made within 10 days of receiving the 1st winning bid notification, at which time the prices listed above and the availability of items are no longer guaranteed.
