    You could have charged him extra as non UK postage is allowed to be added. If you know the rules you can argue back to the buyer about them with much more ease.

    You would think by now sellers would realise that they are responsible for the goods getting to the buyers! If this was not the case they could just list stuff and not bother posting it, claiming it was lost in the post.

    On the other hand, I think that's what a few people have been doing anyway!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    the seller has listed an item
    tucked at the bottom they have made a vague reference to postage
    not quite a transparent listing wouldnt you say?

    no but you have noticed it before buying so what's the issue? just don't buy it...simples.

    yet here you are starting a thread (at least the millionth one on the subject) and even discussing buying the item just so you can refuse to pay the added postage.......get a life....seriously.

    no need to scroll down
    you can view P&P at the top tab
    so why scroll down?

    why?the P&P is stated in the ................P&P section
    also bearing in mind the seller in this case added their vague P&P reference 1 day before the auction ended
    do you need ot keep checking right up to the end?
