Online Sales Information

GUARANTEE: Total Auction Company guarantees every item(s) we have up for auction or for sale in any
of our stores is 100% as represented and clearly pictured.

We make every effort to carefully describe each item. Returns will be accepted only if an item received is not
as represented in the ad, or if there is a return policy otherwise stated in the item(s) ad.

Back To Top Of Page

WARRANTY: On new and used items, no warranty is either expressed or implied by Total Auction Company.
Unless a specific warranty is otherwise stated in a product description, all new and pre owned items sold
have no warranty, and are sold "AS IS". Item(s) sold by us that are listed in our ad descriptions as 'new', or
'refurbished', 'remanufactured', store 'shelf pulls', 'overstocked', 'closeouts', 'liquidations' or items that may
be 'like new' may still have some manufacturers warranty remaining.

Our Warranty Disclaimer in this FAQ outlines our responsibilities and also our return policies. Whatever
warranties that may be remaining (if any) on any item(s) we sell, the warranty (if any) would be in effect from
the manufacturer, and you must contact the product manufacturer(s) directly for warranty considerations
and/or service.

QUESTIONS: As stated above, we are delighted to answer any questions you have. Our email is regularly
checked — usually about every hour during the 9am-5pm (ET) Monday-Friday workday, and every couple
hours on Saturdays and Sundays. National holidays and Sundays we generally do give our staff off.

If for any reason you are not satisfied, we hope you would contact us to resolve whatever the issue might
be before you post a negative feedback (in the case of an auction item). Please take a moment to communicate
with us either via email or phone. Certainly if we are unable to satisfy you, we would expect a negative feedback
rating (and we really try hard to have all our customers satisfied). We love satisfied customers!

The time to ask questions is before you bid or buy. If you are asking a question about an item at auction,
please try to ask any questions prior to three hours before the auction ends. Thanks so much.

SERVICE & SUPPORT: We believe in good communications! As such we are quite prompt with replies to
emails we receive, even to the point of using wireless to insure continuous monitoring of all aspects of our
business operations. Our customers really love our quick, detailed, and personal responses, and we will
never automate this part of the buying / selling process. But sometimes emails have delays and sometimes
they just don't make it through (loss could be caused by an email system, servers, routers, SPAM filters,
anti-virus programs, or any other number of reasons).

To get around this cyber boulder, we simply ask that if you have not received a response from us within
three hours of sending us an email, please email us again at support@totalauctioncompany.com or call
us at 701.746.1378.

If you plan on mailing your payment to us, please complete the 'Checkout' before you send your payment
so we can gather all relevant information for shipping your product, and get your item(s) to the shipper.
Completing the 'Checkout' also records how you are paying (or have paid), and that you are sending a
payment to us via regular mail or other method. Completing the 'Checkout' confirms you have received the
'Checkout' email with all your purchase information, and will also prevent you from being considered late,
or a Non-Paying Bidder.

You will automatically be sent an email with the URL (link) to your 'Checkout' right after you have made
your purchase (or, in the case of an auction when the auction ends). If for any reason you do not receive the
first 'Checkout' email, you will automatically continue to receive 'Checkout' emails approximately every four
days as a reminder until you have completed the 'Checkout' process.

All information – your total price for the item(s), shipping cost(s), and insurance cost(s) for the item(s)
you purchased, payment methods, and our contact information and mailing address will all be found at
the "Checkout'. Once you complete the 'Checkout', you will easily be able to print an invoice, and if paying
online, also print out a receipt for your records (if you would like to have printed copies). We will be sending
you a receipt via email once we have physically received your payment.

In the case of multiple items purchased, all items you purchased will automatically show up in your
'Checkout' (if you used the same email address and other Buyer contact information on all of your purchases).
You will automatically receive a Shipping Credit in your 'Checkout' for multiple items that you purchased that
are being shipped at the same time.

If you used different order information and you would like to combine multiple orders for shipping savings,
just send us a request via email. Send your request to: service@totalauctioncompany.com. You only need to
do this if multiple items purchased by you were purchased using different customer information. Otherwise
if all items you purchased were ordered using the same customer information, you will automatically find
them in your 'Checkout'.

PAYMENT METHODS ACCEPTED: All prices on products in stores and in auction are US Dollars. Pay Pal
is our preferred payment method because it's so secure and hassle-free for everyone,
but we will be happy to accept your Check, Money Order, Cashiers Check —
whatever works best for you.

Motor Vehicles & Real Estate: On Motor Vehicle or Real Estate sales we do not accept credit card and Pay Pal
payments. The only forms of payment accepted are Cashiers, Money Orders, and Bank Wire Transfers.
Titles will not be released until funds have been verified as cleared (including Cashiers Checks and
Money Orders).

Every payment option will be presented in our Andale Checkout.

If you are paying by Personal or Business Check / Money Order / Cashiers Check by mail, we will ship your
item(s) once your payment is physically received by us and cleared by our bank. It takes about 12 days for
our bank to clear items.

INSURANCE/CLAIMS: We don't mandate insurance be purchased as some sellers do, but we do highly
recommend insurance on items purchased over $100.00 USD.

You are required to keep all packaging materials on damaged items. Insurers inspect items damaged,
and shipping materials. If you do have the materials that item(s) were shipped in - claim can be denied.
Lost/Damage Claims are between purchaser and insurer - not with Auction Company. We are not
responsible for items lost in shipping, or damage to items shipped. If insurance is elected, cost will be
at buyer’s expense unless stated otherwise in the item description. Insurance cost is usually .95 cents per
each hundred dollars in value insured (US).

If insurance is not shown as optional on an item you have won the bid on and you would like insurance,
please email and we will email the cost.

We are not responsible for item(s) shipped without insurance.

SHIPPING: We ship your purchase to you super fast. Check out our feedback!
SHIPPING & HANDLING COST: Shipping charges are the responsibility of the buyer.

We list the shipping charges when possible. We do not generally charge a separate handling fee. If the
shipping charge is not listed on an item(s), once the auction/sale is ended and we know the shipping
address, we will email the winning bidder/buyer the shipping charges. Occasionally we include these costs
as a special - and when we do, it will be clearly stated in the item description or title. If you want to pick your
purchased item(s) up locally, contact us, we can make arrangements.

The shipping charge covers all of the costs involved in shipping: There are two components to the shipping
charges. #1: the postage portion and #2: everything else.

The postage portion goes to the carrier (i.e. UPS, Fed Ex, USPS), and is determined by the carrier, not us.
The postage cost itself is determined by a variety of factors: shipping carrier used, type of service (i.e.
Ground, 2nd Day, Next Day, etc.), the item(s) weight and package size - and the shipping destination.

Then there is everything else, which includes the cost of packaging materials (boxes, tape, peanuts,
bubble wrap, etc), ink, and labels - labor to package item and prepare shipping label - then transportation
costs to the shipping company (gas, oil, insurance, drivers fees, etc), any other materials and anything else
necessary to ensure speedy delivery of an item.

With these considerations, we make every attempt to keep our shipping charges as low as possible.

Sidebar: Occasionally people get grumpy when they must pay a shipping cost that they perceive is out of
line with the cost of the item they won at auction.

Consider this, if you would: A set of two-hundred-dollar speakers could easily go for less than $5.00 at our
no-reserve penny auction this second week of July.

It would be wonderful if the postage portion could be reflected in the final price, wouldn't it? But so far we
haven't been able to convince the guys in blue and brown to ship the 52 pound speakers for less than
the actual charge — though we'll keep trying ;) We prefer to celebrate the fantastic deal on speakers which
that savvy buyer snapped up through us, and we invite everyone to adopt this healthy outlook.

MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING SAVINGS (CREDIT): Our Combined Shipping Policy: To help you save on shipping
cost, for three days following your purchase of an item, if you purchase additional items from us, we will
reduce by $2.00 the posted shipping costs on subsequent items purchased that are being shipped at the
same time. So, an example - when you bought the first item, let's say shipping on the first item was $6.00.
Then you bought a second item, and it was also listed at $6.00 shipping cost -- when you went to checkout
(using our Andale checkout, not eBay's) -- our checkout automatically reduces the subsequent
shipping cost on every item after the first item by $2.00. Isn't technology grand!

So -- you receive a $2.00% discount on the shipping cost on every item after the first item. So shipping cost
on the second item would be $4.00, you save $2.00 on shipping on the second item. This $2.00% savings
on the posted shipping charge on each additional item bought at the same time would continue (as it is
assumed on checkout that all items will be shipped at the same time).

FYI - because every individual item has its own weight (packed and unpacked), its own package girth (final
shipping box dimensions), and the final shipping destination, and when buyers are winning bids on a variety
of items both small and large, light and heavy — there is no way of knowing if multiple items may always be
able to fit into the same box. If, when shipping time comes and the items don't fit into the same box, this can
require two separate boxes, thereby increasing the cost. Even if they do fit in one box, multiple items may push
the box itself up to a larger, more costly one.

That said, we often take a gamble, and if we err, we want to err in favor of the customer. A lot of thought goes
into the shipping cost we post in each item auction ad, and the final cost is what we expect each item to be as
an average. With this shipping policy, on some items we may make a dollar, and on others we lose a dollar.
We hope long term it will average out, and overall breaking even is our goal.

Speaking frankly, at present we are running a trend of losing a small amount in the shipping department.
But we feel it's the best approach to use, considering the benefit. The benefit is even if we lose a little, it really
helps our buyers and potential bidders to relax and bid with confidence, knowing during the bidding process
just what the shipping cost is, instead of having to wait until the auction has ended to find out.

Judging from the grateful emails we receive on this subject, we will keep this policy. :)

WHEN WE SHIP: On Fed-ex Ground we ship every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If one of these days is a
holiday, we ship the next business day after the holiday. On 2nd Day and Next Day Air we ship the next day
(excluding Sundays) after payment has cleared. Exactly when your item(s) gets shipped is determined by your
method of payment. If you are paying by Pay Pal, we will ship your item(s) the next business day after we are
notified of your payment by Pay Pal. If you are paying by Personal or Business Check / Money Order / Cashiers
Check by mail, we will ship your item(s) once your payment is physically received by us (cleared by our bank).

You can also pick up your items won at auction or purchased in our stores. Please contact us if you wish to
make local pickup arrangements.

Back To Top Of Page

WHERE WE SHIP: We generally ship in the USA only. However, we will ship internationally. If you would like the
item(s) shipped outside of the continental USA and the auction ad of the tem(s) you are interested in reflect
'USA Only' shipping, please email us at shipping@totalauctioncompany.com.

We will certainly try to be flexible in shipping, as we recently were for our mate 'Down Under'. Please make sure
to contact us Mon-Sat, with a minimum of 24 hours remaining before the auctions end, or it won't be possible to
put this consideration in process for you. As a rule - we do not ship to PO Boxes.

Back To Top Of Page

SHIPPERS USED: In the continental USA, we ship DHL, Federal Express, and US Postal Service. We generally ship
Fed Ex Ground (7 day max delivery). On request we will ship 2nd Day, USPS Priority Mail, Fed EX Overnight, and
UPS Next Day. Any additional shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

RETURN POLICIES: Determined by how the item(s) were listed. Store / Auction Item (Stated as 'New'): We offer
some of the finest products available and we have high standards for quality products, accurate descriptions
including multiple finely detailed, large photos, and excellent customer service. If the item is not working properly
on arrival, item will be subject to original Manufacturers Warranty or guarantee (if any remain). Otherwise, if we
have another in stock, we will happily replace it, or you can exchange the value paid for the item toward another
item in our store. If item(s) is unopened, we will accept a return for a cash refund (a 20% restocking fee will apply).
Shipping fees are non-refundable. We are not responsible for item(s) damaged in shipping.

Store / Auction Items (Stated as 'Overstocks, Closeouts, Shelf Pulls'): We are able to offer these fantastic
savings on eBay and in our Online Stores by buying pallets of new items from stores in bulk, salvage, store
closeouts and shelf pulls. As such, the packaging or boxes may show wear. Some are shelf pulls due to
opened or damaged boxes, returns, and some are overstocked items. All items are personally inspected by
Auction Company and are in working order at the time we ship — or we don't ship. The damage to the boxes
(or packaging) does not affect the contents of the package unless otherwise stated in the description. See item
description for other specific details relating to the item (no directions, ripped or open package, etc.)

All Sales are 'final' on Overstocks, Closeouts, and Shelf Pull Items. Many items are one-of-a-kind, so if the item
is not working properly on arrival, you can exchange the value paid for the item toward another item in our store
(a 30% restocking fee will apply). Shipping fees are non-refundable. We are not responsible for item(s) damaged
in shipping.

Auction Items (Estate - All items sold): All Sales sold at a Total Auction Company auction are 'final' - unless stated
otherwise as an Overstock, Closeout, Shelf Pull, or Estate item (see above). Items are personally inspected by
Total Auction Company, and are in working order at the time we ship, unless otherwise stated in the description.
As such, we are not responsible if an item doesn't work when it arrives. All items sold are covered by our 100%
Guarantee. See item description in the item for other specific details relating to the item.

FEEDBACK: We invite and greatly value your feedback directly to us anytime, so please send any comments,
suggestions or ideas to us at feedback@totalauctioncompany.com.

Your Satisfaction Is Important To Us

Your Feedback: We feel that the sale is not complete till feedback has been left by both parties and you are
satisfied. Therefore we will post feedback after we see you posted it for us. This will tell us you are satisfied.
If you are not satisfied with the item please contact us so we can resolve any problems.

We are confident in our packaging and shipping methods and our quality control of items we put on the
auction block and in our stores. And if by some unforeseen quirk your item arrives late, or with issues,
we trust that you will email us and allow us to immediately correct the situation to your satisfaction -
before you might give us a negative.

Our Feedback: We have not done our job until we have shipped your item(s) to you, so we do not expect
you to post our feedback until you have received your item(s). Once you have received your item(s) and
all is well, we appreciate your positive feedback as it gives us validation that you have received your
item(s) and all is well.

If you would like to check out our Feedback at eBay, click here.

If for any reason you are not satisfied, we hope you would contact us to resolve whatever the issue
might be before you post a negative feedback. Certainly if we are unable to satisfy you, we would
expect a negative feedback rating (and we really try hard to have all our customers satisfied).

Non-Paying Bidders: It shouldn't happen, but it does. We found out that the three main reasons for
non-payment is lack of communication by the seller, surprising shipping charges, and 'seller
doesn't accept my preferred payment method'. None of these apply to Total Auction Company,
as we communicate well, tell you in advance of the shipping charge, and accept just about every
kind of payment method there is.

We do appreciate prompt payment. We take non-payment seriously, and we will post negative
feedback in order to do our part to keep the feedback system reliable for the online community.

Statistics show that over 50% of non-paying buyers occur by new eBay Members with a feedback
rating of 5 or less. Being new, they didn't read the auction ad, or didn't realize that bidding is a
commitment to buy. Please read the rules; bidding is a responsibility. We trust that any bidder on
our auctions understands that when they bid, they commit to buy the item (if they end up being the
high bidder).

We happily welcome new eBayers, and we look forward to a long relationship with those who put
their trust in us and purchase from us.

As mentioned above, statistics also show that another 40% of non-paying bidders haven't paid
because they either didn't get, missed, or possibly their email SPAM filters eliminated notification
emails (from eBay and Sellers). They are a bit lost as to what to do. Usually when notified again,
they pay immediately.

We highly value our fellow eBay Members and being part of the eBay Community. Feedback is your
reputation (and ours), and we handle posting feedback with the utmost care. It's important. We make
every possible effort to avoid posting a negative feedback. We know that things come up in life and
we are all busy, and there are the unexpected things that cause us to forget.

We utilize an email system that keeps track of all buyers, and who is due still, what notices they have
received, etc. We go out of our way to wait additional time for payments to be made (or come in by mail).
Under some circumstances, we have waited as long as 30 days before reporting a non-paying bidder.

Please know that if we place negative feedback, it is because the buyer would not either, respond to
all the notifications - just didn't intent to pay - or just bid carelessly - didn't care.
