NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT SALES TAX AND

 COMBINED SHIPPING WHEN PLACING MULTIPLE ORDERS

 

This section contains a lot of details. We believe you will better understand why sellers are compelled to adopt new rules if we explain the marketplace changes that cause the new rules.

 

As of October 2025, we are no longer accepting orders for shipment outside the United States due to unexpected surprises involving tariffs (import duty).  It seems tariff amounts are changing on a weekly basis.  In addition, changes in the American practice mean duty is no longer collected by the post office upon delivery, but must be prepaid by the seller before the item can leave its home country’s postal system.  Many shipping companies are charging fees as “customs brokers” with no practical limits and no advance notice, and if a seller or buyer does not pay them promptly the packages are being destroyed rather than being returned to the sender.  We all lose money when that happens, so we have to pull the plug on international transactions.

 

Sales tax will be refunded when a refund is processed on Ebay sales.  PayPal is not currently charging sales tax, so refunds for website sales on ZZZCOINS.COM do not involve sales tax or refunds of taxes.

 

EMAIL ME before completing the sale if you have any questions.  We will have options if you contact us before paying, but we will only have explanations after a sale has been processed.

 

COMBINED SHIPPING

 

These limits on refunds apply only when shipments can be combined.  We often process orders quickly and mail them to customers within hours, so a second order placed the same day may be shipped separately and will not be eligible for combined shipping refunds.

 

In the past, if we received multiple orders from the same buyer, each was assessed a pre-set shipping charge by the payment systems (Ebay and PayPal).  If 5 orders were placed, 5 separate shipping charges were assessed.  As a courtesy, we would combine shipping and refund most or all of the multiple shipping payments.

 

Now, Ebay and PayPal will no longer waive or rebate fees for sellers.  Both charge sellers for fees even if the buyer’s payment is fully or partially refunded. 

 

For refunds unrelated to combined shipping (for example, items out of stock or order canceled), you will receive a full refund without any offset.  You may be contacted by Ebay to confirm a cancellation – please approve it.

 

For refunds related to combined shipping, we are forced to limit refunds in the following ways:

 

U.S. customers:

 

For Ebay purchases or orders from our website, 50 cents will be deducted from each refund to cover labor & fees.  You can avoid this by adding items to your cart and paying all at one time.  If you do so, you will only be charged 10 cents for each additional lot on Ebay, and a flat shipping rate on our website.

 

 

OTHER REFUNDS

 

For refunds unrelated to combined shipping (for example, items out of stock or order canceled), you will receive a full refund without any offset.

SALES TAX IN THE U.S.A.

 

A majority of U.S. states are now imposing sales tax on certain e-commerce sales to their states.  There is still substantial uncertainty about the process.

 

For Ebay transactions, Ebay will automatically add the sales tax, when appropriate, to invoices.  Sellers will have no role in the process.  When buyers pay their invoices, Ebay and the payment provider will arrange to skim off the sales tax and remit it to the state.  Those sales taxes will never end up in the seller’s account, and thus you will not have to rely on the honesty of the seller to pass those payments along to your state.

 

For orders from our website, PayPal is not currently adding sales tax, so there is no tax to be included in a refund. 

 

For refunds, PayPal is refunding sales tax that was paid to Ebay.

 

Some states charge sales tax on the shipping charge in addition to the merchandise cost.  As a result, if you are entitled to a partial refund of shipping costs (see above section on Combined Shipping), PayPal is refunding that portion of sales tax related to shipping that was paid to Ebay. 

 

 

EMAIL ME before completing the sale if you have any questions.  We will have options if you contact us before paying, but we will only have explanations after a sale has been processed.
