New Ebay rules for Ebay.co.uk  state that Booksellers MUST offer FREE insured delivery in the UK , despite the actual cost of postage , insurance and protective wrapping being at least £6 per book ( usually about £9 ) . 

This means that especially on low cost books , I MUST increase the opening bid to ensure that UK postage costs are covered.

In order that my International Buyers are not unfairly affected by this new rule, their shipping charges invoiced will now be discounted to a percentage of the actual expected cost.




In the unlikely event that you are not 100% happy with your purchase, please contact me before leaving feedback. We have many satisfied customers who return again and again - we would like you to become another.
