** For my protection all items that are to be shipped outside the U.S. and are paid for by Paypal will be shipped insured by Endicia. The shipping charges posted below reflect the cost of this requirement. If you prefer not to pay the charge to insure your shipment by Endicia you may pay by any accepted payment method other than Paypal. The payment instructions I email you at the close of my auction or after your BIN purchase will indicate the correct price for either choice.
I conduct my transactions by direct email contact. You will receive payment instructions by email at the email address you registered at eBay. You will find direct links to Paypal in this email. I will not debate this issue. If you spam block my payment instructions you are in violation of eBay's policy on invalid email addresses. I will ship to confirmed addresses only. I reserve the right to refuse a Paypal payment if it is determined that I may not be adequately protected by Paypal's Seller Protection policies. I do not use "My eBay" to manage my transactions, therefore no action on my part will affect any change on your "My eBay". I manage my transactions on a third-party desktop based program. You will have to manage your own.

We ship our recordings in corrugated mailers made specifically for the purpose of shipping phonograph records or compact discs. We do not ship recordings in envelopes.

Books, magazines and other paper goods may be shipped in envelopes or corrugated mailers at our discretion. These mailers are not free. The cost of these mailers is built into our shipping price for domestic and foreign orders.

This pricing structure on most items reflects the price for shipping First-Class Mail International, Insured by Endicia. Packages that weigh more than 4 lbs. must ship Priority Mail International or Global Express and will require a separate quote.
You may not enlist our aid in attempting to circumvent the customs laws of your country.
INSURANCE- will cost $1.30 for coverage up to $50.00 on domestic mail shipments only. We strongly suggest you use insurance on domestic shipments. Foreign shipments may also be insured but please be advised that the cost is very high. We cannot control how your package is handled once it leaves our hands. We will not make refunds on lost or damaged items that are not insured.
I do not ship every day. I ship once a week on a regular schedule, usually Wednesday but will sometimes vary by a day or two. Your item will be shipped on the next scheduled shipping date that follows receipt of your payment in my bank account. Electronic payments (Paypal) generally take 3-4 business days to reach my bank account.
Effective 4/06/07 I am once again accepting Paypal as payment for items purchased on or subsequent to that date. This will be on a trial basis. If this should prove to be a quagmire as it was when I first registered in 1999 and again in 2002, I will drop that service once again. I reserve the right to do so at any time and without prior notice.
