We got back in the house late afternoon on Wednesday the 20, and everything has shipped out that was back due and we are back on our normal pattern now...hopefully no more gas leaks!

On January 4th, our oil fired water heater had a meltdown, and flooded our downstairs basement apartment.  It was to be switched to natural gas (bring it out of the 50's and into this new century).  Upon inspection, our natural gas forced air heater was installed incorrectly, and was being improperly vented....we had to take a motel room, (no heat or hot water) from the 4th until 12th, while it was fixed and upgraded.  We got to go back in, then on the 14th we started getting a very strong gas smell.  Lo and behold, upon inspection, there is a pipe leaking somewhere within the floors of the house!  It's been one thing after another so far this year!

The house we reside in was built in the 30's...but has been added onto extensively throughout the decades, and I am assuming that not all work was ever quite inspected each time it was done.  So we have started off the New Year in frustration!

Okay...E-Bay made some changes to the view page...and I am getting hit with quite a few questions in regards to shipping and such. 

First....in regards to languages...if you just scroll down past the Muze info that E-Bay puts up, you will see our description.  In that description we list all the languages and subtitles that a particular movie has.  Also....some ads have that full box Muze info....some they are changing over to a shorter box and if you want to know what the movie is about click the highlighted type that says see reviews or something like that, it will then give you a full screen of what its about.

Also...if you are logged in....your base shipping costs should come up under the price of the movie.  There is also a shipping tab that E-Bay has now done that gives your shipping info.  When you pull up an ad, you are automatically on the description tab.  Just above the Muze info you will see a shipping tab...click that.  That gives you the base shipping price for your country and the choices you get.  Now....in regards to combining...we always do...see OUR description (the paragraph above tells you where) and it gives you the rates....US and Canada are added at 1.00 each for regular dvds (not sets)...all other countries are added at 3.00 each (not sets).

I know it's confusing...I had problems with it went I went shopping on E-Bay at the first!  E-Bay just wants you to click more and scroll more on an ad!  If you are unhappy...e-mail E-Bay about it...they chose to listen to buyers more than they do the sellers these days, and your input is much more highly valued!

Folks...if your order comes in under 13 ounces, I automatically ship it first class...even when what you pay for shipping is less than what the post office charges.  Remember I am also charged for the delivery confirmation that everyone takes for granted, and first class parcel charges are more than what you think regular first class mail is. 

Now this is approximately 2 dvds, 3 if they are single title, lightweight without cardboard overcases or 2 disc editions.  Some sets do fall into the under 13 ounces, MOST do not.  After that 13 ounce mark it has to go either media, or priority as the choice, and if you do not want to wait for media mail you have the choice to pay for the upgrade to priority mail.  In some cases, some of you have seen free upgrades to priority...this depends on how many dvds are purchased in a lot, and since I have my postal worker pick up my packages I must include one priority package each time.  Most times I tend to pick reoccurring buyers and bidders, sometimes sets, it just depends.

Media mail is SLOW...I understand that but if it doesn't come under 13 ounces it cannot go that way.
