 The should I buy from tip-top.deal test:

Question  1:

Should antique or vintage items be perfect in every way.  YES or NO?

If you answered YES, please leave without bidding.

*The answer is NO, because antique or vintage items often have small imperfections, due to the fact that they are often over a century old, thus the name ANTIQUES. Only items listed as MINT or BRAND NEW, should be perfect!

Question 2:

If my parcel is arriving late, it is the sellers fault, and they should be punished with negative feedback.  YES or NO?

If you answered YES, please leave without bidding.

*We drop off all our parcels to Canada Post within 48 hours of receiving your full payment. What the Truck Driver, the Sorting Station, the Border Security, the Customs broker, the Airport Workers do from there on, is beyond our control! In addition, we advise all buyers by e-mail as soon as an item was mailed.

Question 3:

If my parcel, containing glass or ceramic, has been damaged in transport, it is the sellers fault and I should get a refund immediately, including postage fees.  TRUE or FALSE?

If you answered TRUE please do not bid on our items. Canada Post has a policy stating: Glass and Ceramics are not subject to coverage for damage!

*We have safely shipped many fragile and even super fragile items over the past five years. They get there safely 99 percent of the time. There is a 1% chance your item will be ruined by Canada Post or USPS, if you can’t afford to take that chance, please don’t bid!

Question 4:

Leaving negative feedback is a cool way to blow off some steam, when I didn’t read the listing text, and the item was different than I thought it would be. If items end-up being different than they were in my imagination, it’s the seller’s fault for not using a large enough font size to describe the item.  TRUE or FALSE?

If you answered TRUE, please leave without bidding.

*We describe our items thoroughly and a lot better than the average seller on E-bay does. Please read the entire listing text before you bid!

**We return all our feedback good for good and bad for bad.  Why do that to yourself??

Question 5:

Even though the shipping costs are clearly stated, or quoted based on your request, before auctions end, a buyer has the right to try and adjust shipping costs after the auction ends. The seller should just “EAT” some of the shipping costs to please the buyer.  TRUE or FALSE?

If you answered TRUE, please leave without bidding.

*The shipping costs are either stated in the listing or are quoted before- or calculated after auctions end depending on your location. That is the amount that will appear on your invoice. The only exception to this is when you buy multiple items, in which case a discount always applies!
