Re PAYMENT ... I will accept virtually ANYTHING you want to offer!
2. PayPal ..... I do not really fully understand how it works, or exactly what it costs us, (but I am told on small value purchases the % rate is quite horrific) but yes I do accept it if you absolutely MUST use it! Use my PayPal email address - glen@glenstephens.com to remit. HOWEVER, if you use PayPal to pay me, the fees to me are terrifying as PayPal slug me not only the 3.75% plus the flat fee, and use outrageously bad exchange rates (they slug 2.5% for that!) and add another 1% or so as I am a "Foreign" customer. I just got whacked by PayPal over $US10 fees on a $US250 sale. In general unless I agree otherwise, you MUST pay me in $A funds via PayPal, as that is the currency I am selling in. So I will add a flat 3% fee for anyone using PayPal to partly cover these many fees if you do not use option #1/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10! i.e. if you account is $A200 plus $10 shipping and insurance, you need to add a 3% fee to $A210 = $A216.30. By choosing to use PayPal you agree to this fee. I will ONLY accept PayPal if you are a PayPal "Verified" user .. i.e. the name and address I mail to, is the address PayPal has for you, and that you use for payment. I do not like PayPal and their often arrogant policies, but yes, it can be used.
3. Bank cheque in $Australian or Australia Post Money Order allows shipping the day I receive it - if I get around to it that is.4. Bank transfer. About 70% of clients use this method now. My bank account detail is Westpac Banking Corporation, Northbridge NSW branch, Glen Stephens .... BSB = 032199 ... Account Number = 824096 You MUST be specific on web data about your name and Lot - i.e. 'Jones, 2/- Roo $300' - and not just 'Stamp - $300' or I'll have no idea who paid me! Transfer from anywhere on earth the EXACT sum (nett to me) in $A owed for lot(s) plus shipping, using EXACTLY the figure the world's largest and most respected currency site shows that minute's rate as - www.xe.com and we are good to go. Unless you are an established client, goods will be shipped no earlier than 3 days after transfer shows on my account, to ensure cleared funds were transferred. Bank wire transfers from overseas to this account are fine, but you MUST add $A20 to the total, as my bank charges me that sum to “receive” it .. and your bank your end will charge you a fee as well – hence we all HATE banks! For ANY sum over $1000 to be bank transferred please contact me FIRST.
5. $A
personal cheques are fine.
Unless you are known to me these will be banked, and
WHEN and
only when, they are cleared, will I get around to mailing goods. My bank
takes three
WORKING days to clear cheques AFTER the day I bank them,
which is usually once a fortnight. My address to mail them to are Glen
Stephens - PO Box 4007, Castlecrag. NSW. 2068. Australia. Like all banks
here, Westpac charge horrific fees if I bank any cheque that 'bounces' for
any reason. Last time I heard it was a $A30 fee. If this occurs it messes
up my current account balance, and I also need to write to you, waste much
time, and get high blood pressure, so I will also add another $A30 to cover
that. The clear message is - please do NOT mail me cheques if there are not
adequate funds in the account. Or
you
will be $A60
out of pocket.
6. Foreign (Non Australian) CASH or Traveller Cheques. ONLY if mailed in a totally secure fashion (at your risk) will I accept this. i.e. Registered or Insured mail to me - PO Box 4007, Castlecrag. NSW. 2068. Australia. Currency banknotes only - NO coins accepted. $A currency cash is simple to deal with of course, and is accepted if mailed securely. If you want to mail me current banknotes of Euros, Sterling, $US, Laotian Kip, Cuban Pesos, or Mongolian Splats etc - go right ahead. HOWEVER - what I receive from my bank is what your account credit will be. Goods will NOT be mailed until after I have received and banked this form of payment. Banks screw us all on currency exchange - each and every day, and this fact of life is your problem if mailing me Cuban Pesos - i.e. NOT my problem, if they give me around half the newspaper exchange rate! $US, Sterling and Euros the bank does not play games with too much, (but of course they never pay for currency notes anything like the newspaper figures) but as for those Cuban Pesos ....
7. Mint "postage". Mint full gum 1966 onwards Australia and AAT valid postage stamps (i.e. all Decimal currency issues) I can always use for sending out parcels etc. I accept them at 60% of FACE value if in usable condition. i.e. if you owe me $A60 for a lot I will accept $A100 face of full gum stamps in payment. Toned, or scrappy or messy or 'bitsy' junk I will allow only 50% face. ONLY if mailed in a totally secure fashion at your cost will I accept these. i.e. Registered or Insured mail to me at PO Box 4007, Castlecrag. NSW. 2068. Australia. Overseas buyers and dealers seem to love using this system. You MUST attach a neat written or typed list, or adding tape print out of the face value of stamps you send me, so I can quickly double check your counting and mathematical skills! And you MUST contact me first if overseas, so I can advise on correct wording for customs form etc. Failure for YOU to do so may mean I get charged 10% GST import tax on them, and much paperwork, and that shall be entirely at your expense. Sorry, no gum unused Australian stamps are usually NEVER accepted as payment. However, I may occasionally consider them, at about 20% face value - please enquire on my current buying rate.8. Foreign Cheques - Please note - I do not accept foreign (non Australian) cheques or money orders of ANY kind from ANY country as my bank’s 'collection' fees are terrifying, and they take months to clear. Sorry. See point 4 … you can transfer via bank wire facility quickly and easily.
9. Western Union money transfers are fine As LONG as I receive the NETT amount owed to me - i.e. any fees for using this method are to be paid in advance at YOUR end.
10. Layaway or 'Lay-By'. No problem on purchases over $A400 as LONG as we agree on this in writing within 24 hours of sale ending. If you buy a lot that converts to $A400 and want me to debit your credit card $A100 a month for 4 months - no problem to me if this balances your books better than one large debit, or keeps you out of the divorce courts! There is no charge or surcharge whatever from me to use this system. Goods will be sent only after final debit or payment is made. Any default in completing this, and any and all previous payments are forfeited as I'll need to re-offer item. By requesting Layaway, you accept and agree to this condition. I often sell goods on commission and pay the vendor fast, so your defaulting costs me money. I far prefer layaways to be done by bank transfer from you – see point #4. This way you know it has been done, and we have ready records of it.

SECURITY NOTICE: I am a classic one-man business. We are ALL rightfully wary of all the Bank and Police warnings re rampant credit card fraud and illegal use etc. So please note - your card is secure in my hands. I have NO staff and NO assistants to possibly steal or sell or misuse card data. When you order from me I print out your order and process it and pack it myself. I keep NO data base of credit cards or address details whatever. I do NOT even create electronic invoices or receipts that may fall into the hands of a hacker. I just use the printed-out order form as your confirmation, that I mail back to you with your order. Old fashioned - YES, but in this day and age your card is not on ANY data base whatever that may fall into unfriendly hands. Nothing is 100% secure in this world of course, but be assured in 25 years of stamp dealing and accepting all credit cards there has NEVER been a single example of fraud or card leakage from orders to ME. No staff to steal or copy your info, and sell it to crooks and con-men on the Internet etc. |
