Re: all regular 10 day auctions, although you may request a payment total through eBay channels, PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE STATING ALL CHARGES BEFORE PAYING. For Buy-It-Now auctions, please follow thru with immediate payment. Otherwise, with regular auctions, payment is expected within 3 days. As all international sales are now being handled through eBay's Global Shipping Program, please wait for the eBay-generated invoice before paying. eBay now automatically collects any/all state sales taxes where applicable. As ALL SALES ARE FINAL, please ask questions before bidding. Thanks for viewing and Good Luck!
