From FD's fees page:

'Inward payments received from banks within UK in currency above £100 equivalent £8.00'

It doesn't say anything about IBAN payments in euros from European banks, which is what it would be if you do it the best way. Normally these are free, with perhaps a few pence lost to the exchange spread.

Actually it does say here that payments up to 50,000 euros or 500,000 Swedish Krona from a country in the EU will be received free of charge provided the BIC and IBAN numbers are provided with the payment.

I don't know how long that has been the case, as it was at least 3/4 years ago when I enquired.

I did say people should check first.

Right I've got my act together. Found some scales, then another half hour finding some working batteries for scales :rolleyes:

Anyway my parcel to Belgium (I'm still sorting out the Germany ones) is 2.2kg and 32cm x 32cm x 8cm.

Interparcels charge £15. plus VAT

Royal mails website is down at the moment (for me anyway)

I havent contacted that ebay delivery company yet as i only need a quote and I don't have addresses or anything of the buyer. I don't want to mess them about if the buyer doesn't actually go ahead.

To be honest if I were the buyer I wouldn't pay £17ish for something thats not worth much more than that buy hey, each to their own.

I will try royal mail again soon and see if they are back online but just wanted to update
