Definately not! Not professional cleaning can decrease the value of your item, it is possible to make damage. Please also take care about stamps, papers, banknotes and other papers and never fold them because it can also decrease their value.

After closing an auction, the remaining items are still on sell for a few days. After the auction we need about two weeks before we can pay you. (For example, if the auction is closed on the 1st of the month we will pay from the 19th of the month, in case of closing an auction on the 15th of a month we can pay you on the 4th of the next month) You can always find current information about paying and the closing of an auction on our main page.
