* I accept PayPal or personal check/money order as payment.
* NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PAYPAL ACCOUNT TO PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD. I can send you a paypal invoice and you have the option to pay with a credit card with out signing up for an account.
if you have any problems with the checkout process, please contact me and I will help you through it.
PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL: Payment must be submitted in full within 24 hours of purchasing. If payment has not been received after 24 hours, the sale will be cancelled and the item re-listed.
PAYMENT VIA CHECK: If you choose to pay by check via mail, I will ship your purchase when your check has been received and cleared by the bank. Payment must be received in full within 10 business days of purchasing. If payment has not been received after 10 days, the sale will be cancelled and the item re-listed. Please make checks payable to Sara Quintana.
LAYAWAYS: I would be happy to discuss a layaway plan for any item over $50.00. The maximum layaway term I offer is 2 months with a minimum 25% deposit. Items will be shipped once full payment has been received. Items not paid for in full after 2 months will be re-listed and any payments minus the 25% deposit will be refunded. Please contact me so we can work out your payment plan.
E-CHECKS: If you make payment via e-check, please be aware that they take a week - a week & 1/2, and occasionally longer depending on location if overseas, to clear and I cannot begin your order until that time.
On certain occasions, I will accept a USPS money order. You must CONTACT me PRIOR to purchase if you wish to use this option. This only is accepted for U.S. orders, and must be a certified USPS money order. The item paid for in this manner will not be shipped until the money order has cleared to me.
