Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know this site isn’t a scam?
A: Take a look at my eBay feedback. (eBay ID desert-ice-sports). I’ve been selling on eBay since 2003 and have flawless feedback.
Q: So, why should I buy items here instead of on eBay?
A: Because all of my items are cheaper here and you have the same buyer’s protections that you get on eBay. Take a look at ‘My Guarantee’ for details.
Q: What happens if I’m not happy with my purchase? Can I return it?
A: Yes, you can. Take a look at my Return Policy for details.
Q: Do you offer free shipping?
A: Yes! I offer free standard shipping on Domestic orders $150 or more if you pay with Venmo (max $500), Zelle, cashier’s checks, personal checks or money orders… I’ll also ship domestic orders $5000 or more free if you send a wire transfer… Payment with Venmo, Zelle and wire transfers are NOT available through standard checkout… Please click ‘Contact Us’ and either email or text me for details.

A: I accept credit cards, money orders, personal checks (held until they clear), cashier’s checks, Venmo, and Zelle… I will also accept wire transfers for high-dollar purchases… Cash is accepted for in-person transactions… Unfortunately, due to a complete lack of logical reasoning by the people who run PayPal, I’m not able to accept PayPal at this time.
