Regarding Shipping Costs, Please leave your 5-Star ratings by the actual costs you were charged, not what "you think" it should be, as I calculate by weight, distance, and insurance in most cases for accuracy, and have no control over seemingly high posted USPS service fees.
2021 UPDATES:  Small items will ship First Class up to 16 ounces with insurance where necessary; larger and heavier items travel via Priority rate calculated by weight and distance.  Shipping Fees requested reflect new rates for all new listings, also considering EBay takes commission from our collected postal fees. Our policy is to refund any overage that exceeds .00 if we can get the job done for a cheaper fee than quoted back into your PayPal account, depending mostly on final destination of item. Please take this into consideration when leaving 5-Star feedback. FedEx Ground or UPS Ground Services will be used for all stoneware, framed artwork, samplers, and furniture items from my licensed and bonded shipping agent at exact cost, we do not charge handling fees.. Secondly, the New Year has started with several non paying customers; be informed all untended open bills will be served an Unpaid Claim Strike after 7 days in order to recover costs associated with a no-sale transaction. Lady Ellen's Fine Ware is a small business that values its customers and expects prompt payment in order to continue EBay privileges. Thank you for your attention to these two friendly reminders!
