Philatino

Terms and Conditions for Buyers


1. Philatino is an interactive site where qualified third parties (professional stamp auctioneers) offer their best material to be sold at auction.

2. Bids will be processed by clever bidding software that increases all previously offered bids by u$ 1.- only -no fractions, no matter how high you new bid is. The remaining amount will be used only if further bids make it necessary.

3. No bid can be withdrawn in any case and for no reason; so please, take good care to push the submit button only when you are certain you didn't enter a wrong amount or are not bidding on a wrong lot. Remember you are committing yourself to honour all your bids, even those entered by mistake.

4. Bidder agrees to honour all his commitments in full and in a timely manner. Failure to abide by this requirement will produce the immediate suspension of membership privileges and no further bids may be taken into consideration on all other auctions in our site. Also notice of this behaviour may be made to the trade.

5. Privacy policy: the personal information you are submitting herewith, will be strictly confidential, and will be only provided to seller in order to forward purchases.

6. Philatino may survey the proper description, the authenticity and the fairness on every posted item. However, we are not fully responsible for third parties procedures. In every instance of a dispute (where parties do not reach an agreement), Philatino will arbitrate, and has on file dealers funds to face (up to u$500.-) every seller improper behaviour conduct.

7. Philatino will keep all bids and bidders in secret; those will not be revealed to any member or seller in any case and for no reason. In fact, the software denies any information in this regard, even to Philatino operators.

8. Philatino wants to give bidders the best possible service and is eager to help everybody to reach satisfaction. Be aware that to act on your behalf, we need fluid information about every difficulty you may face with a specific seller. To fill this purpose Philatino will publicize all seller feedback and antecedents in order to help the bidder decide if a specific seller deserves or not buyers confidence (though Philatino had already made a severe selection among seller member proposals).

9. When a lot is won, the buyer will receive a detailed invoice that must be settled within 4 days of the reception in the manner that each dealer suggests in his "Profile" page (personal check, bank draft, credit cards, or other means). Delayed payments may produce cancellation of the sale and, at dealer's convenience, item may be resold.

10. "No questions asked returns" will be accepted if made within 4 days of the reception and cash refunds must be made in a timely manner by seller. Unless otherwise stated in any dealer's profile page.
