Frequently Asked Questions
1. What kind of items do you sell?
I specialize in WW2 militaria — primarily German and Soviet-era helmets, military binoculars, and field gear. You'll also find a broader selection of collectibles from other eras and countries. Every item is carefully sourced and accurately described.
2. How can I be sure the items are authentic?
Authenticity is backed by my track record: I've been selling militaria on eBay since 2016 with over 1,000 items sold and a strong positive feedback rating. Every listing includes detailed photos from multiple angles. If you have doubts about a specific item, reach out before purchasing — I'm happy to provide more photos or information.
3. Are your items also on eBay?
Yes, most items are listed on my eBay store. Buying directly here saves you ~20% — that's what eBay charges in fees. Same item, same seller, lower price.
4. How do I make an offer?
On any item page, click the "Make an Offer" button. Fill in your name, email, and the price you'd like to propose — add a message if needed. I'll reply to your email within the same day.
5. Are prices negotiable?
Yes. Direct prices are already ~20% below eBay, but I'm open to reasonable offers. Use the "Make an Offer" button on any item page.
6. How does a direct purchase work?
Once we agree on a price, you send payment via PayPal and share your shipping address. I ship the item within 2 business days and send you the tracking number by email. If you'd rather buy through eBay, that option is always available on the listing page.
7. What payment methods do you accept?
For direct purchases: PayPal (secure, with buyer protection). If you buy through eBay, standard eBay payment methods apply.
8. Do you ship internationally?
Yes, worldwide — except Russia and Belarus. See the Shipping page for full details on costs and delivery times.
9. What is your return policy?
In 10 years and 1,000+ sales, not a single buyer has needed to return an item — because every listing is photographed and described in detail before purchase. If something were genuinely not as described, contact me at bodean930@gmail.com and we'll resolve it directly, without hassle.
10. Are all items legal to buy and own?
Yes. All items in my collection are legal historical collectibles that comply with Ukrainian postal regulations and international shipping laws. I do not sell, and strictly refuse to ship, any items prohibited by law — including weapons, live ammunition, or any materials banned by postal services. Every item has passed eBay's compliance review, which independently verifies that listings meet legal standards.
11. Can I request a specific item?
If you're looking for something specific, let me know. I source items regularly and may be able to find what you're after.
12. How do I contact you?
Email: bodean930@gmail.com. I respond within the same day.
