Welcome and thanks for checking out Riverbeat Books ebay store! I scour some secret sources that I have found for books and occasionally other things for you. In my searching I find lots to help others build their own personal library.

The selection that I offer on eBay pretty much describes what I like and what interests me so if you buy a book from me I think you will see we have a lot in common. Do you like working hard and helping people out?...So do I. I strongly believe in honesty and hard work. I do not plan on making my millions selling used books on ebay and I also will not rip anyone off. My integrity and your trust in me means more than a few dollars. Also what you see listed here is only a small part of what I have. Working and three kids means the book store opens its doors on the weekend and the evening so getting everything listed is never possible. There is thousands of other titles here I may never get around to listing so if you have a request, let me know as I might have it. 

I like books. To me my books are my friends for life. They are companions that I can spend a few minutes with or a few weeks. I do my best to describe as best I can what I am offering on eBay as I want you to get off on the right foot with your new companion. If I make a mistake or if my description does not live up to your expectations I will work hard to make you pleased with your transaction. I believe that you should be happy with what you purchase. I feel that I price my books fairly based on condition and scarcity compared to what is offered elsewhere. When I tell you a book is in very good condition I mean it is something that you would be happy to see on your bookshelf and its pretty close to being new. If it is an older book in very good condition it will be something you would want to own and any faults will be noted ahead of time. I will not try to flog something that is in bad shape and make it sound better than it is. I also do not use "stock photos" off the web. I scan or photograph the actual book you are getting and I will not sub in a different copy of a title. Check my feedback and see what you can expect.

I invite you also to check any of my books on www.abebooks.com, www.used.addall.com or www.amazon.com to compare. Check the title and year of publication and compare my price to what is available elsewhere. At the end of the day I want you to be happy with the product and service I offer. Thanks for looking at my auctions and know that I want you to be pleased with your purchase above all else.

I ship from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Canada Post offers very fast service to the United States and your packaged is insured. Canada Post rates to the United States are comparable to rates that USPS charges to ship from your location to me here on the "best coast".

I leave positive feedback for successful transactions but in fairness to those who misuse ebay I report non-paying bidders and although ebay no longer makes it possible for sellers to leave negative or neutral feedback for poor performing buyers, I will report non-payers and you will be prohibited from future purchases from me. Non-paying bidders and those sellers who do not treat buyers with respect spoil the ebay experience. This is our community and we need to be creating something to be proud of. A good ebay seller promotes honesty and respect for others and that improves the experience for all of us.

Payment is expected within 30 days. Sometimes unforseen circumstances occur and that is understood. If that happens please let me know and we can work out alternatives for you. Understanding comes through communication so lets talk.

There are some neat things on ebay but it’s the people that make it all rewarding. Thanks again for looking at my store and good luck with all of your ebay transactions!
