Do you combine shipping for several items bought ?
Yes. Any single card is $2.00 shipped then add just .25 cents per each additional card for shipping. For example, 15 cards would be $5.50 shipped. One arrowhead shipped will be $2.50 then only .50 cents each additional arrowhead bought. For example, 5 arrowheads would be $4.50 shipped. The best deal is to buy several items to make the shipping worthwhile. Many people try to profit off shipping. I don't. My shipping costs include tape,paper,bubble mailers,ink for printer,gas to P.O. in addition to the actual shipping charges. But my shipping charges are almost always for just the exact amount the post office charges me.

How do I know your arrowheads are authentic ?
I'm a member of TSAS artifact society. Most collectors can tell if an artifact is authentic just by looking it over. The patina and material (flint,coral,etc.) type are key identifiers of authentic points. I also sell points at local shows in Ga.,Ala.,and Fla. I have a small selection of my personal collection in the Who's Who section of Best Of The Best #3. I've sold hundreds of points on Ebay thru the years. I'm friends with top Ebay sellers Johnny Tomberlin and Allen Hyde. Either of these guys will tell you I only sell authentic artifacts.

Do you combine shipping on different items ?
Yes. You can buy 2 cards,2 DVD's,and 1 arrowhead (for examples) and all will be shipped combined. I just try to break even on the shipping.

Some categories are blank. Will you have items listed in those ?
Yes. I have from 5,000 to 10,000 items to list and I list them as I come to them. It takes a lot of hours taking pictures,cropping pictures,and typing in descriptions on each auction listed. Please keep checking back and all categories will be filled ASAP. Thanks.

The shipping won't combine automatically for multiple items bought. Why ?
I have no idea but if you visit the Ecrater community board it addresses this problem but there isn't a solution right now. I just tell all buyers to click "buy it now" on the items they want and I will charge the combined shipping stated and NOT the individual $2.00 (for example) per item. Unlike Ebay, we Ecrater store owners maintain and manage our own site thru Ecrater.

I bought an item that was already sold. How ?
Unlike Ebay, we ecrater sellers have to manually remove each auction after its bought using "buy it now". Twice another person has clicked to buy the same item before I could remove it. I regret its happened but I work during the week and cannot remove auctions until the PM. I refunded payment to both buyers. I also sell items on Saturdays and Sundays and sometimes items get sold that are listed on my website.

I saw that a buyer left you a negative feedback ?
I would definitely love to explain this. I've never heard back from this buyer about wanting a refund or returning the item. No reply period good or bad. She just leaves me a negative feedback. I offer a money-back guarantee. Just hope this person never buys anything from you. I treat every buyer the same. Its funny how you can never satisfy 1% of the people no matter what you do.

Why are so many sellers leaving Ebay ?
There are 3 major reasons sellers are leaving Ebay opting for their own websites. Most buyers are unaware of these problems for Ebay sellers. 1) The fees have increased dramatically on the percentage of the final sale for each item sold. Sellers pay Ebay for all list fees,final value fees,and paypal acceptance fees. 2) Sellers can no longer leave negative feedback. How smart is this new rule ? Some guy bids $100 on your item and doesn't pay. You lose the sale and you can't even warn other sellers about this guy. It has happened more than 20 times to me. 3) Ebay makes its sellers accept Paypal as payment only. Many of my best Ebay buyers sent me money orders. But Ebay gets a percentage of every Paypal payment so that's why they require it.
