We would never purposefully misrepresent an item. In the unlikely event that you have a true discrepancy, please contact us immediately so that we can get things right.   We need to hear from the winning bidder within three days of auction end and payment needs to be received within ten days of auction end unless other arrangements have been made, otherwise we reserve the right to re-list this item.  If you need more time, please communicate with us and let us know.  We are very accommodating as long as we know what’s going on!   Although it appears that we are new to the online auction process, rest assured that we have been trading on eBay since 1999 under the User ID of ‘$penderz’ which is our personal account.  Our feedback rating is over 99% and our buyers praise our descriptions, our prompt shipping, and how well we pack items we sell.  We have 747 positives with only 3 neutrals/negatives from people with buyer’s remorse (not due to any fault of ours).  Our 50 Detailed Seller Ratings show as 5 stars in each category and we are proud of it!  We do our best to go above and beyond the basics to ensure a great transaction!  Please feel free to look us up and bid with confidence!   To search for items by seller: 1.        Click the “Advanced Search” link located at the top of most eBay pages. 2.        On the left side of the page under Search, click the “Items by Seller” link. 3.        Enter the seller’s User ID: $penderz 4.        Select or clear any of the checkboxes, as needed. 5.        To sort your search results, select your sort options. 6.        Click the Search button. 7.        From your search results, click the View Seller’s Items button for the seller you want.Note: The View Seller’s Items button only appears if the seller has active listings or items to sell.  In addition to accessing the seller’s items, you can also access the seller’s Feedback Profile.   ~~~~ Thanks for looking! ~~~~ HAPPY BIDDING! ~~~~ Good Luck! ~~~~                 Place a Bid!
