PAYMENT POLICIES FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS ONLY
(If you are not in the United States, click here)
For U.S. postage and packaging prices and policies, click here


ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS for U.S. customers only:

  • PREFERRED: Major credit cards, checking account, or savings account through PAYPAL (this will get you the very FASTEST service)
  • Cash (at your own risk) via "snail mail" (address below)
  • Personal, business, or bank checks via "snail mail" (address below)
  • Money orders (postal, bank, or store) via "snail mail" (address below)
  • PLEASE NOTE that I can NOT accept your credit card info directly from you - you MUST go through the PayPal system in order to use a credit card. See below for details.

  • IMPORTANT NOTES:

    PayPal is my preferred method of payment, and it will get you the very fastest service possible. PayPal is a great online service that allows you to electronically transfer funds from any major credit card, or a checking account, or a savings account, directly to me. If you do not yet have a PayPal account, and are interested in signing up for one (it's free), click on the link below under "helpful links and info."

    To save money order fees, cash may be sent (but at your own risk; I recommend sending it via registered mail or wrapping it in either dark paper, carbon paper, or aluminum foil).

    You may also "wire" payment to me, using services such as Western Union or MoneyGram - but ONLY for amounts of $30.00 or more. If you use either of these methods, you must e-mail me with all the necessary information, so I can pick up the cash (confirmation and/or pickup number, and "password" if applicable).

    Please make all payments payable to Stephen M. Caraco - NOT to The Madonna Catalog!!

    For your order to be filled accurately and shipped as quickly as possible, please carefully read and follow my newly-updated ORDERING AND POSTAGE policies before sending payment.

    Items placed on "hold" for you must be paid for by the "hold" date that I give you in your e-mail - if payment is not received by the "hold" date, the item(s) will be returned to stock that same day, WITHOUT NOTICE, and offered to the next interested collector. So if you are truly serious about buying an item, please make sure that your payment reaches me on time - I always give you enough time for the mail to reach me. If you do not come through with your payment of merchandise, I reserve the right to refuse service to you in the future.

    TO AVOID CONFUSION, PLEASE E-MAIL ME before sending payment, to reserve the items and confrm your order. If you just send me money without first reserving items, then be prepared for a possible disappointment when certain item(s) you want might not be in stock at the time your payment arrives!

    MOST-ASKED QUESTION:

    I'M WORRIED ABOUT BUYING SOMETHING THROUGH THE INTERNET, FROM SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?

    Well, of course it's normal to be concerned about buying something through the internet, especially from somebody you might not know very well, or not know at all. But I assure you that I am a professional Madonna dealer, and I even have over EIGHT HUNDRED positive feedbacks on the eBay auction web site, to back it up. I have well over 1,500 customers from around the world, and I can send you a list of e-mail addresses, any of which you can write to, to verify my trustworthiness. I am in this business to help other Madonna fans out there complete their collections, and I am not out to rip people off! If you'd like to see my eBay feedback profile, just CLICK HERE.
