By delivering your items to
iSellit-4u eBay Drop-Off Shop you agree to be legally bound
by these terms & conditions.
Please read them carefully.
1. Introduction
These terms & conditions (the Terms) shall
govern and be incorporated in every Contract between iSellit-4u.
(the Company) and the seller (the Seller) of an item or group of
items (a lot) on the eBay online sales venue or any other auction
platform (each a Site).
In these Terms, Contract means each individual arrangement for the
Company to place a lot or lots on the Site on behalf of the Seller,
and any purchaser of a lot is the Buyer.
The Company may require identification evidence from every Seller
(one of the following: passport, driving license, utility bill or
other photo IDs), before it can act on the Seller's behalf.
2. The Lots
The Company agrees to act as agent for the Seller. The Company
does not buy the lot from the Seller. The Seller remains solely
responsible for any:
• statement which the Seller makes about or description of a lot
including but not limited to references as to its ownership, origin,
date, age, or authenticity; and
• faults or defects in any lot; and
• other things the Seller does or says in relation to the lot
including but not limited to any breach of these Terms.
The Seller must satisfy itself that the
information which the Company records regarding each lot is true and
accurate.
3. The Buyer
The Company does not act on behalf of the Buyer. The Company
cannot guarantee the existence of, or bids made by, a Buyer or other
bidders and is not responsible for anything they do or say in
relation to a lot, including but not limited to any breach of the
rules of the Site (the Rules).
The Company will however use reasonable skill and care in offering
each lot for sale on the Site in accordance with the following
parameters:
• the Seller shall be entitled to put a reserve price on any lot but
must do so before the Company places the lot for sale on the Site (a
Reserve ). The Company charges a fee of £10 for setting such a
reserve price for items up to £200. For reserves between £200 and
£450 we charge £16 and for reserves above £500 we require £20 plus
1% of the reserve fee. (the Company will credit the Seller for this
fee should the lot sell); and
• subject to any Reserve:
• the Company has absolute discretion to refuse any bid, to divide
any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot from
sale as permitted by the Rules; and
• the highest bidder reasonably acceptable to the Company shall be
the Buyer; and
• subject to the provisions of the Rules if, during the sale of a
lot, the Company considers that a dispute has arisen, or in any
other circumstances in which it would be reasonable, the Company may
immediately put up the lot again for sale or, alternatively, it
shall be the sole arbitrator in any dispute between bidders and its
decision shall be final and binding on all concerned.
4. The Purchase Price & Commission
In return for the provision of its services, and in addition to any
Reserve fee, the Seller authorises the Company to deduct commission
of one third (or less if so specified on the Seller's receipt) of
the purchase price paid by the Seller.
Where the Company has to make Home Collections of items from the
Seller's home a fee of £12.50 plus the congestion charge, if
applicable, will also be charged. Where a Seller cancels
instructions for the sale, the Company will charge the higher of the
Reserve Fee or a fee of £10 as a contribution towards its reasonable
handling costs.
The Company shall remit the remainder of the purchase price received
from the Buyer to the Seller within six weeks of the end of seven
days of the Buyer receiving possession of the lot from the Company.
A dispute with the Site or a bank will pause this period.
• Where any lot fails to sell, the Company will notify the Seller
accordingly. The Seller will make arrangements:
• for the Company to re-offer the lot for sale for a fee of £10; or
• to collect the lot within 12 days of being so notified; or
• to authorise the Company to donate it or sell it with proceeds
minus a charge to cover its reasonable administration costs to go to
a recognised charity.
If such arrangements are not made within 12 days of notifying the
Seller that their lot has not sold, the Company shall donate it or
sell it with proceeds minus a charge to cover its reasonable
administration costs to go to a recognised charity.
5. The Seller's Obligations
The Seller confirms that:
• all information supplied regarding the Seller's identity and each
lot is true and accurate; and
• it is the owner of the lot, or is properly authorised to sell the
lot by the true owner, and that it is able to transfer full
ownership of the lot to the Buyer free from any other claim; and
• it is selling as a private individual and not acting in the course
of a business, accordingly any agreement between Seller and Buyer
will be a private sale; and
• it is not registered for VAT. If this is not the case, the Seller
should notify the Company in writing giving the VAT registration
number.
• in addition to these Terms & Conditions it will comply with the
Rules for each Site, which for the main current site eBay can be
accessed on
pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/index.html.
6. Personal Data
The Company shall use the personal
information supplied regarding the Seller to provide the services as
requested by the Supplier under each Contract. The Company will not
publish the Seller's personal information on the Site or pass it to
any third party unless required to do so by the Rules of the Site,
e.g. in the event of dispute, or by law. The Company may from time
to time contact the Seller with information about the Company's
services but the Seller shall be given an opportunity to opt-out of
receiving such information during registration or may subsequently
do so at any time.
7. General
All Contracts to which these Terms apply
shall be governed by the laws of the relevant territory within the
UK in which the Seller lives and the courts of that territory shall
have the exclusive right to deal with any dispute.
The Seller acknowledges that the Company will commence supplying its
services to the Seller when a Contract is agreed. As a result the
Seller should be aware that it does not have the right to cancel a
Contract under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling)
Regulations 2000 or any equivalent legislation.
The Company's rights under each Contract remain in force at all
times. If the Company does not enforce any or all of these rights
for any period it does not mean that it has given them up.
The Company will compensate the Seller for any loss or damage that
the Seller may suffer if it fails to carry out its obligations under
each Contract to a reasonable standard or breach any duties imposed
on it by law (including if it causes death or personal injury by its
negligence) unless that failure is attributed to: (a) the Seller's
own fault; (b) a third party unconnected with the Company's
provision of services under this Agreement; or (c) events which
neither the Company nor its suppliers could have foreseen or
forestalled even if they have taken reasonable care. Prior to an
auction being concluded the company the value of each lot for the
purpose of possible compensation shall be the higher of its Start
Price and Reserve Price. After the conclusion of an auction it will
be the higher of its Start Price and the highest bona fide bid.
