Seller Status and Rationale

I’m an individual seller, not a business, andeverything I list comes from my own home — including items inherited from mymother. I’m liquidating these pieces for a very specific reason, and because ofthat, I cannot and will not absorb shipping costs or negotiate them.

Some people may be surprised that I’m bluntabout this, but after answering the same messages over and over, I’ve learnedto be direct. I already price my items fairly. If you can’t understand thatshipping costs are simply part of buying anything online, then I’m not theseller for you.

It gets exhausting dealing with messages frombuyers who think the shipping cost should magically be cheaper than the itemitself. If you like the item but think the shipping cost makes the total morethan you want to pay, that’s perfectly fine — but please don’t message measking to negotiate it, and don’t purchase expecting a refund oradjustment afterward. I won’t negotiate shipping before or after the sale.

Thank you for understanding and respecting theboundaries of my shop.
