MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS I always undercharge on postage :- Due to UK Royal Mail s obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.
Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.
However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.
However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100 guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.
Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.
On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package please check it when you recieve it .
I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.
THAT IS MY 100 POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I ll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.
Any questions - please ask On 17-May-15 at 12:57:02 BST, seller added the following information: Some people have asked to see some close up pictures of the record itself - so I will upload some using camera flash straight onto the grooves of the record - showing every part Therefore you can see just how SUPERB this record really is On 17-May-15 at 13:02:15 BST, seller added the following information: I have now uploaded another 5 pictures of the grooves on the records all parts clearly showing what AMAZING condition this LP really is Certainly it is the best I have ever found for this LP I also estimate that it has only ever been played 2 or 3 times ONLY - and the sound quality is truly SUPERB.
There is also NO jumps in the track Money - which is VERY rare indeed, as many copies have a pressing fault here.
However this one has NO faults AT ALL - and the track Money and the rest of the LP plays SUPERBLY An AMAZING LP indeed On 17-May-15 at 13:13:26 BST, seller added the following information: Please also note ALL details in the listing too.
I will not do ANY partial refunds for those bending the truth .
I have graded the record M- undoubtedly the best I have EVER seen - and the inner, posters stickers are again M- and are all SUPERB also And the cover is also one of the VERY best EARLIEST 1st Press Dark Blue Covers I have EVER seen The cover I did not grade M- I graded it just a shade under Excellent at VG .
And obviously whilst it has barely ANY rubbing it is probably the most UNRUBBED Earliest 1st Press Dark Blue Cover I have had - the picture makes this hard to see.
Still whilst the cover is BRILLIANT with barely ANY rubbing and NO ringwear - please dont expect NO rubbing.
It is still absolutely BRILLIANT - being flat straight looking, and I feel sure most would grade higher still Also I have recieved a very unpleasant email - direct to my email address.
Please note - all contact must be via ebay messages, and I will not respond to any other emails sent by other methods.
Any ebay member using insulting language to myself or evidence in the past, I will have no hesitiation in blocking and bids will be instantly removed.
Most people are nice and pleasant, but it is a shame a tiny minority spoil it for the majority.
