Payment should be made through Paypal, unless special permission is granted. Non-paying winners who make no arrangements with the seller will be reported to eBay. International bidders should not bid until checking with the seller for a shipping cost estimate and to confirm that the seller can ship to their country. First class and priority flat rate envelopes used for international shipping are not tracked by USPS after leaving the USA and may be targets for theft in many nations, so the buyer assumes all responsibility for these shipping methods. Orders are typically shipped out the same or next business day, and combined The machine's top cover snaps onto the entire typewriter and includes a special compartment to hold the electric cord. Note that the small plastic plate that covers the typing mechanism is missing, so the ribbon and action are visible when typing. The machine comes without an owner's manual, but the lift-off correction process requires you to backspace, then overtype the errors using the correction key and the erroneous letter key. The correction tape used in the Brother XL-1 is the same as that in later Brother portables, such as the AX and GX series, but the ribbon is not. The ribbon is still available but only used in the Brother 7200, 7300, 7600, 7800 "Correct-O-Ball" models, and the Sears "Correct-O-Sphere" models produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The ribbon features a 1/2"-wide once-through film ribbon that alternately types on upper and lower portions of the ribbon. The correction tape is also installed, and additional correction tapes can be included upon request. Combined shipping is available for CDs and DVDs.

Those interested in learning more about the Brother Portable "Ball" Electronic Typewriter XL-1 can find a writeup on this model on the museum website http://www.mrmartinweb.com/type.htm. The Brother Portable "Ball" Electronic Typewriter XL-1 is a unique machine that utilizes a ball and typing mechanism that stays in place while the carriage moves as you type, similar to earlier mechanical and electric-assist typewriters. The keys are designed with a light touch, making electrical contact, unlike old mechanical typewriters that required finger force to work each key.
