Gold Aurora Borealis Dangle Earrings

PAYMENT:
~ALL CUSTOMERS: I accept payment via Etsy's Direct Checkout, Etsy Gift Cards, and Paypal. I send payment reminders after 7 days for Custom Orders, etc that have not been paid.

~SALES TAX: TEXAS residents will automatically be charged 8.025% tax rate with payment. I am required to pay this amount to the state of Texas. Washington state, PA and other state tax will be collected by Etsy on my behalf as per your state tax rules/laws.

SALES TAX EXEMPT CUSTOMERS: I do not have any control on whether or not you pay sales tax on Etsy. Many states require Etsy to collect sales tax for them. If you are sales tax exempt, you will have to petition your state via Etsy to receive a refund for the tax you paid. There is a place on Etsy to fill out these forms.
