Welcome to my ebay listings.
My aim is to make shopping with me on ebay a friendly, efficient and successful experience for both of us. Will you find a million lines of terms and conditions on here, or on my listings? No! Why is that? Because I provide the level of service I would hope to receive, and if you're in anyway unhappy with your purchase I expect to do something about it. I don't need complex terms and conditions because I'm not trying to protect myself from having to do the right thing!
If you have any questions about my ebay auctions, please don't hesitate to send me a question.
You are always welcome to collect your item personally, and save on postage. I do not charge for collection. However, please do check in advance, as collection is only available by arrangement - I need a date and time! Thanks.

Please note, this is not a shop premises - no browsers or casual callers, thank you.
Not sure what postal zone your country is in? You can check the Royal Mail
list of countries, to see if you're "Europe" or "Rest of World", on my list at
www.bykimbo.com/europe.htm.
Confused by bookseller jargon? Not sure what a "front end paper" is, or
where on a book you'll find the "hinge"? Unclear about the difference between
"sunned" and "foxed", or think they both sound like countryside pursuits? You
can find out these things and much more thanks to my jargon busting glossary at www.bykimbo.com/glossary.htm
How do ebay's shop categories work? And where, in my store, will you find particular books?
Ebay only allows shop-keepers to attached two categories to any one item. So if a book could actually be described as belonging to three of them, a choice has to be made. If, for example, a book is a First Edition, pre-1960, and an autobiography, I can only make it appear in two of those categories. So it's worth looking around the store thoroughly for books, not just in the most obvious place!
If you have any questions about how my categories work, or where is the best place to look for a particular type of book, please feel free to drop me a line (use ask seller a question or contact me via my web page). I'm always happy to talk about books!
