Our Guarantee:
i-  We believe that Ebay's money back guarantee suffices to ensure our items' actual condition would correspond with the description provided  in the listing of the items. Hence, we feel any additional "return policy" would be redundant;
ii- More importantly, however, to protect our clients against buying counterfeits as well as misrepresentations of provenance, we offer a unique
guarantee of authenticity
with no time-limit constraints.
Such a guarantee of authenticity provides ironclad protection to Ebay buyers; whereas, a 14, or even 30, day "return policy" could fail miserably in many cases involving antique silver.
Consider (hypothetically speaking , of course) the case of an unsuspecting buyer who spends over ,000 on a silver item posed as original on the pretext that it was acquired from the estate of a Russian family who had fled to Canada in the first quarter of the twentieth century.
Upon receiving
the
anointed treasure
, the purchaser would inspect
it
for condition issues; and once satisfied would probably leave the seller a positive feedback comment.
Months, if not years, later the purchaser decides to have the item appraised. It would be then that he/she finds out about the actual provenance of the item: an auction house whose description of the item explicitly mentions "bearing questionable marks" for a Faberge work-master.
