UNPAID AUCTION / BUY IT NOW LISTINGS:
Due to an increase in unpaid items and cancellations, we are now enforcing eBay's "Unpaid Item" policy.
Their policy states, "If you've placed a winning bid or clicked the "Buy It Now" button in a listing, you've committed to
purchasing that item. If you don't pay for it, even if you've changed your mind, you violate the unpaid item policy."
If you choose to not pay for, or cancel an item, we will open an unpaid item case against you and work with eBay
to have your buying privileges revoked. It is unfair for us to suffer losses each week due
to customers changing their minds or not reading the full description of an item. Before bidding, please make sure
