The following pertains to our listing terms and conditions. Please read so there is no surprises as to the total cost of your item or any of our polices: Q. How much will I owe for sales tax?
A. If you are not in California, and have no business presence/nexus in California, no sales tax will be added. If you are California resident, 9.25% sales tax will automatically be added by the ebay system. This is the highest conceivable district tax rate. If your actual rate is less than this, it will be adjusted accordingly in your invoice. If you've already paid, any difference will be refunded. The following is tax rates that California residents will be responsible for:
1) If you're in CA and have valid reseller's permit (and fill out reseller certificate): 0%
2) If you're in CA and using the equipment: 5.5% off your normal district tax rate via teleproduction partial exemption. You must fill out tax form 6378 to receive the sales tax discount. The equipment, and the nature of your business, must be predominantly related to post-production. EX: Your rate would be 3.5% if I delivered to Los Angeles county (which is normally 9%).
3) If you're in CA and don't qualify for the teleproduction partial exemption (i.e. you are a corporate user, hobbyist, rental company, this is predominantly production equipment, etc): must pay full district rate of the specific county item is delivered to or picked up from.

We would only ask that you fully cooperate with the insurance claim and save all the original packaging. Q. Do you sell to international buyers?
A. Yes, but not every item we sell can ship to every country. Please look at ebay's shipping and handling section (below the auction) to see which countries each particular item can be shipped to. Q. What forms of payment are accepted?
A. Due to ebay's new paperless payment rule, the only payment method we are currently allowed to accept is paypal. Q. How much is domestic shipping?
A. For most items, free shipping (including insurance) via FEDEX ground or USPS is included in the purchase price to any of the 48 states. Please take note if a particular item specifies free shipping or not. If you need anything faster than ground service, you will be responsible for the additional cost. Feel free to contact us for an express service shipping quote. Express shipping can also be billed to your own UPS/FEDEX/DHL account if you prefer. Q. How much is international shipping (including Alaska and Hawaii)?
A. Buyer is responsible for actual shipping costs. Default shipping method to international locations is USPS express. Please use the USPS shipping calculator or contact us to get a shipping quote. USPS has different dimensional restrictions for different countries. It may turn out that your item, once packaged, is too large to use USPS service. Also, some items are too valuable to be able to be fully insured by USPS (also this varies by country). If this is the case, you will be given the option to use FEDEX instead and given an appropriate quote for FEDEX international costs. International shipping prices vary greatly depending on your location. Please contact us before bidding for a precise shipping quote and confirmation that the item meets the size/value requirements to go USPS. Please note that any customs charges, taxes, or duties levied by your country is your responsibility.
