Please read my terms and conditions below as well as my return policy under the shipping and payments tab. Since this item belongs to me and not , my terms supersedes any that may have.

Thank you

My Terms and Conditions are as follows: Please read them.

Payments:

I accept PayPal only.
No e-checks. All e-checks will be refused.
Payment is due within 48 hours of end of sale, this includes weekends and holidays unless you are using the Buy-it-Now option, in which case Immediate payment is required.
Failure to pay within 48 hours will result in an unpaid item case being opened and the item will be either relisted or offered to another buyer as a 2nd chance offer.

Concerning offers and Order Cancellations:

Only offer on or buy this item if you intend to follow through on the purchase. Buying this item or offering on it is considered a binding contract.
I will not approve any order cancellations. If you do not follow through on your purchase within 48 hours of the end of sale, an unpaid buyers case will be opened and you will have an unpaid buyers strike placed against you.
The reason I will no longer cancel orders is because of several buyers in the past, one purchased my item just to get it off the market because they had one listed for higher, then they backed out of the sale, their reason...\"I can\'t make any money on it.\" (funny thing was, their identical ring sold for more than the one I had listed). Another buyer waited the 72 hours I give for payment and then requested the order be canceled, and just within the past day, another buyer waited over 48 hours after the end of the sale to ask for a cancellation. Needless to say, this isn\'t fair to sellers. Some of us sale on as a livelihood and making us wait for a payment and then backing out hurts us. Taking 2-3 days to just back out takes away time that your listing could have been up making money. I\'m sorry I have to take this approach but my mother had a stroke many years ago, she has also had colon cancer and she has an artificial pacemaker, I stay home and take care of her and this is our way of making a living.

Shipping:

I only ship to PayPal confirmed or verified addresses.
I only ship to locations in the United States and it\'s Territories. (I do not ship to APO/FPO addresses)
For some items I do offer multiple shipping options that include delivery confirmation. Please chose the one you would like.

This item will be shipped using a USPS. Some packages may be to big to fit in some mail boxes (like those in some apartment buildings), if that happens the postal service will normally leave a notice in your box so you will need to pick the package up at the post office. It is recommend that you keep track of your package using the tracking number just in case you don\'t get the notice, if you see in the tracking information that a notice was left, the package is at the post office awaiting pickup by you.
If a package is not deliverable because the address is wrong or a buyer fails to pick the package up at the post office and the package is returned to me a 15% restocking fee will apply to the refund.
