COMBINED SHIPPING: I will weigh all your wins and treat as one package according to the combined weight.  There is always a saving on the individual amounts quoted – the heavier the overall package, the greater the saving.

MULTIPLE WINS in U.S. DOLLARS & GB POUNDS: I list on eBay.co.uk in GB pounds and eBay.com in US dollars.  If you win items from both, I will still combine the shipping and reduce one of the shipping totals.  With Paypal you will need to make TWO payments – one for the GB pound wins and one for the US dollar wins.

PAYMENT FOR UK BIDDERS: By Paypal, UK cheque, or postal order.  For UK winners paying by cheque, I will send you a combined total, so you can make one payment for all your wins together. 

POSTAGE UK BIDDERS:  If you require registered post - "sign for" - then this will be an extra 75p per package (UK purchasers only).

PAYMENT FOR OVERSEAS BIDDERS: You may use PAYPAL.  International money orders & cashiers checks are acceptable in GB Pounds ONLY, but will probably be expensive for you.  Sorry, but overseas (non UK) personal checks are NOT accepted due to huge bank charges.

POSTAGE OVERSEAS BIDDERS:  Please note that Surface Mail is very slow (6 to 12 weeks).  If you require international insurance this will cost 4.50 GB Pounds in addition to any Surface or Air Mail costs.
