We accept all major credit cards by phone: 512-642-6810 - and on our Secure Online Webform.
We accept PayPal instant and eCheck payments, our main PayPal id is sales@redplanettrading.com
Officially, Ebay requires sellers to say they only accept only PayPal and Credit Cards, but allow for other payment types if specifically requested by the buyer. So, if you wish to pay with another form of payment, simply request it and we will certainly take it just as we always have.
- Please make payments payable in US $ to RED PLANET TRADING.
Regardless of how you pay, we will delay your shipping until all funds have been received and Cleared.
PayPal eCheck payments often take 3-4 business days to clear, so if you have paid via eCheck instead of Instant Payment, we will delay your shipping until the eCheck has cleared.
We are required to collect 8.25% sales tax for items shipped to Texas addresses.
Local pickup is $5 for orders under $100 (credit cards, money orders, or exact change cash only).
Winning bidder is responsible for ALL shipping/handling charges for original shipments, returns, or charges beyond the quoted shipping,
including items such as Customs Fees, Special Taxes, Additional Delivery Attempts, etc. We cannot mark international orders as GIFT. Please inquire for more information.
Auction checkout is expected within 3 days of auction close and payment within 7 business days.
If there is no communication from the buyer, unpaid auctions will be forfeited, we will re-list your item, and file an unpaid item claim with eBay.

We Ship VERY Quickly! Most items are shipped within 1-2 business days of your Cleared Payment! If you order
express shipping but need to change your address, or have a special request for your order, you should phone us immediately after purchase so your
concerns can be met before the item flies out the door! Call 512-642-6810!
You will receive notification of shipping when your label is created, including tracking information if available. If you have
paid with paypal, you may be able to track your shipping progress through your paypal account. We will attempt to provide your tracking information
in multiple ways, including email and via carrier notification. If you cannot locate your tracking information, please contact us.
For orders valued over $250 USD and paid with PayPal, we will ship immediately if you have a Confirmed PayPal Address. If
your PayPal address is unconfirmed or you would like shipment to an alternate address, you should contact us Before Payment or expect delays in
your order processing. We do our best to minimize fraudulent transactions, any suspicious activity will result in further delays.
If you pay via PayPal eCheck, we will not ship, nor will we even be aware of your order, until the payment
clears! eCheck payments take 3-4 business days to clear, and we have NO CONTROL over this progress. Ordering express shipping but paying with
eCheck is a common mistake! Buyers assume responsibility for delays due to eCheck payments.
Combined shipping discounts are available for many, but not ALL items. If you have purchased several items, please
message us to combine them and discount your shipping before making payment.
We use UPS, USPS, and DHL as our carriers for Continental USA addresses. We want you to receive your items quickly,
and WE WILL CHOOSE which carrier to use, even though eBay only allows their choice of carriers
for calculated shipping. In most cases we will use the carrier(s) indicated in the listing, however there are many factors influencing our decision
of carrier, including time of payment, projected delivery times, tracking options, etc, and we reserve the right to choose the final carrier. If you
wish to specify a particular carrier, please contact us to make sure we can honor your request. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not bid.
USPS offers relatively inexpensive express shipping for Continental USA addresses - however their definition
of EXPRESS MAIL is not 'Guaranteed Overnight'. Instead, USPS Express Mail delivers in 'One or Two Days'. We cannot guarantee the
delivery time for USPS Express shipments as 'Overnight'.
We use USPS Priority Mail International for most international shipments. We cannot guarantee the delivery time for USPS shipments
despite the 4-10 days advertised by USPS. Customers should be aware we have had orders take up to 2 months for delivery. Please note that we cannot mark items as 'GIFT'
Please expect to pay Additional Fees for any of the following situations:
Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, APO, or International Addresses
Expedited/Overnight Shipping - Yes we can ship it today and get it there tomorrow!
Shipping to Post Office Boxes
Shipping via your Specific Carrier, or via Third Party Billing
All Specialty Services: Saturday Delivery, Insurance, Registered Mail, etc.
If a customer receives an item that appears damaged by shipping, customer should contact us immediately for instructions.
Customers are responsible for all shipping and handling costs related to their order, and these charges are non-refundable under most
circumstances. These include the original shipping of the order,
shipping a return to Red Planet, purchasing shipping upgrades,
and any Customs Fees, Special Taxes, Shipping Change Fees, Additional Delivery Attempt Charges, etc. Please see our warranty section
below for more details regarding refunds of shipping.
The shipping fees and conditions stated in the listing are not negotiable. The shipping cost posted is the cost we charge to ship. If the price appears too
high, then please do not bid on this item. In some circumstances as listed above, we may even need to assess additional shipping charges.
Local pickup for orders under $100 is a flat $5 per visit.
Many of our listings offer FREE Shipping. While the shipping costs are often included in pricing of the product, actual shipping costs with the carrier are
never free. Changing parameters related to your order such as upgrading to express shipping, or requesting deliver to a P.O. box, or similar may require additional fees.
Additionally, because shipping costs are non-refundable, refunds may have shipping charges deducted even though the shipping was listed as free in the listing.
Customers assume all the risk associated with ordering express shipping because express shipping costs are never refundable, regardless
of fault or error. Generally, replacement orders are shipped at no cost to the customer but are always shipped via basic ground service regardless
of how the original item was shipped - unless the customer pays additional funds for a second express service. Red Planet will do our best to ensure a
customer's order is correct, functional, and arrives on time, however customers assume all the risk when ordering express shipping. Please see our Warranty
section below for more information. If you do not
agree to these terms, please do not buy our item.

THE RED PLANET GUARANTEE: Buy with confidence! Your order is guaranteed to arrive without defects or
errors on our part
or you are entitled to a 100% refund or replacement, including shipping costs in certain situations. Our primary goal is your satisfaction, and we offer a NO-HASSLE return policy
that allows
you to return your order for any reason within 30 days. Rules and restrictions do apply, so please read the following very carefully before
bidding on our items. Purchasing items from Red Planet Trading assumes agreement with our terms - if you do not agree to abide by these rules, please do not bid.
- Most all listings/items are eligible for the guarantee, but some listings may be exempt. The product
description in each listing will indicate if the item is covered under this guarantee and for
how long, or may indicate the item is sold AS-IS with no guarantee. Due to the extreme shipping cost and transit times
international orders are usually not covered under our Red Planet Guarantee.
- Our Red Planet Guarantee is simple and easy to support. We appreciate your choosing Red Planet as your online electronics vendor, and your complete satisfaction is important to us.
Therefore, we allow any order to be returned for any reason within 30 days of purchase. We do have rules for the return process and restrictions for certain situations, but our
customer service department will work hard to earn your business and MAKE IT RIGHT!
- While our guarantee is HASSLE-FREE, it is certainly TIME-SENSITIVE! There are two periods for return processing. If the return arrives within
7 days of original delivery, customer may choose to receive a replacement order shipped at no charge, or a full refund of the entire purchase price. This is
ideal for immediately apparent issues such as DOA items, order errors, condition discrepancies, etc. The other case is for returns that arrive after this
intial period but within 30 days of purchase date. This is for warranty failure claims or other reasons. In this case customer may choose to receive a
replacement order shipped at no charge, or a refund of the purchase price, less shipping and handling charges.
- If you would like to return your order for refund or replacement, you must first contact us for Return Authorization. Customers must obtain
and purchase their own shipping for returning orders to Red Planet(unless the customer uses our Second
Order process as explained below). Return shipping costs are not refundable. In order to process the return, customers will be asked to
1) End any eBay, PayPal, or other transaction dispute that customer may have initiated.
2) Agree to our formal eBay request to mutually cancel transaction.
3) Leave us a 5 Star rating and positive feedback for prompt handling of your customer service needs.
We realize that there are customers who desire
their replacement products arrive faster than the standard return procedure allows, so we encourage 'second orders' for the same product
be purchased so that customers can get their part faster.
- SECOND ORDERS: If a customer wants a quick order solution guaranteed to offer 100% refund including all shipping costs,
and wants Red Planet to pre-pay all shipping related to returns or replacements, regardless of fault or error, then he should choose our Second Order solution. Second
orders are encouraged for situations that require faster resolution than the standard return
process offers. If you experience a problem with your original order and wish to
purchase a second order, do as follows: 1) Proceed to purchase another item as
normal via ebay or direct contact. 2) Contact us by phone, email, or messaging to inform us of your situation. We will include pre-paid postage in this second order for returning your original
order. Regardless of the outcome, customers will never be required to repay this postage. Second orders require significant trust that we will
send a functioning unit immediately and will refund the defective order in a timely fashion.
- For us to offer the very best customer service, we assume you will not file a dispute, claim, or chargeback with eBay or Paypal. We also assume you will not leave a negative
feedback before giving us the opportunity to service your needs. Furthermore, aggressive or threatening communication is never appreciated. We expend great effort
to provide excellent customer service options, so it would be unwise to circumvent our efforts. If a customer does any of the above, our return policy will
immediately be replaced by the less flexible paypal/ebay standard policy, which we can assure is never as satisfying.
MANUFACTURER WARRANTY?: Buyers assume there is NO MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY unless specifically explained in the listing's product description. If there is a time-sensitive
manufacturer's warranty, it is the buyer's responsibility to acquire and exercise their warranty rights via the manufacturer, not via Red Planet Trading. In general, our Dell branded products do not come with
any Dell warranty, all items were purchased from recycling vendors, never from Dell! If buyer contacts Dell, they will not recognize any warranty related to any products sold by Red Planet Trading.
However, product warranties for many of our products are available through squaretrade.com after purchase.
SUPPORT: Specialized technical support for products and related software is not provided by Red Planet Trading. We are happy to answer a question or two when able, but we are unable to
provide extensive support to diagnose your issue or optimize your performance. For detailed assistance with products, buyers must contact the
manufacturer or acquire local support at their own expense.
FEEDBACK POLICY: Our feedback system is automated, and will leave positive feedback within 12 hours after receiving your positive feedback.
Before leaving negative or neutral feedback, we strongly suggest you contact us with your issue and we will do our best to make you a satisfied customer. We offer
some of the best customer service on eBay, there is no reason not to be satisfied! Please note, leaving hasty negative feedback is considered a rejection of our
customer service attempts and voids all warranties.
COMPLAINT POLICY:
We work hard to earn your loyalty, your positive feedback, and your business by
providing honest product bargains and backing them up with the finest customer service we can offer. Our machine runs perfectly over 99.5% of the time, as our reputation
suggests. However, there are occasional product issues, human errors, and unforseen shipping problems that appear from time to time. Fortunately, we have a whole department
dedicated to meeting your needs after the sale! So, if you experience a problem, help us help you by contacting us for a solution first. Do not leave poor ratings, file
eBay complaints, file PayPal disputes, or file credit chargebacks before contacting us.
THE NATURE OF THIS BUSINESS:
Please read and understand the following information regarding the purchase of our used/refurbished items and how it might create exceptions to our rules:
We are a liquidation company, and a large part of our business is selling recycled/used computer components. Customers are very attracted to our super low prices on high
quality items! However, as simple as it sounds,
our used/refurbished items are not new!! We do routine testing of all of our used items before shipping, however we cannot test each item for 48 hours nor do we plan
to test every aspect of every item in every situation. All items ship as working units, but occasionally an item will arrive dead or fail within a very short time. THIS IS THE NATURE OF THIS
PURCHASE! Our customers must acknowledge this basic risk when purchasing used items. If receiving a defective product on the first shipment is completely unacceptable, then please
do not buy a used item - instead buy a new one!!!
Yes, of course we offer EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, and will try to solve your issue right away! Our warranty is designed to cover your item failing for a very short period after ordering.
We offer refunds and ship replacements regularly, however customers should not expect Rolls Royce Service on a Dirt Cheap Item!!!
We can only do so much for your order and we can only stay in business if we stick to our rules for servicing our products.. A 30 day guarantee must end at 30 days from purchase, not
when the buyer finally gets around to using his order, and not
at 30 days of actual use of a product. Please buy a third party extended warranty if you are concerned about your order failing at day 31.
Shipping costs are usually a significant percentage of a customer's purchase, and for many of our items the costs are higher than the item itself. Our return/refund rules regarding
shipping refunds are strict and required for us to stay in business and continue to offer the products and service at the low prices customers appreciate. Although
our customer satisfaction is very high, and our error rates are low, there is still a
chance you may experience a problem with your order. After reading these terms, if you are not comfortable with our policy, please do not buy our item.
If you have any questions about any of our items, contact us via phone: 512-642-6810 or
