• EXTRA INSURANCE ALWAYS AVAILABLE JUST ASK. IT COSTS 50p EXTRA WITH PARCEL FORCE FOR £100 INSURANCE ON A UK PARCEL. AND £1 OUTSIDE THE UK FOR UP TO £100

• PROOF OF POSTAGE ALWAYS KEPT I WILL CLAIM FOR LOST ITEMS BUT THIS TAKES UP TO THREE MONTHS THROUGH THE ROYAL MAIL AS THEY CARRY OUT AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE LOSS.

• POSTAGE DISCOUNTS FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES PLEASE E-MAIL

• WHEN YOU GET THE E-BAY INVOICE I WILL SEND OUT SHORTLY AFTER THE AUCTIONS END PLEASE USE THE “PAY NOW” BUTTON AND SELECT YOUR METHOD OF PAYMENT (INCLUDING CHEQUES AND OTHER PAYMENT METHODS)  IT WILL THEN GIVE YOU ALL THE DETAILS (ADDRESS ETC ) YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PAY.
