    No, you're not. Anything purchased from the official site is OK, but I've been horrified to see the price these are going for on ebay, with no mention of donations.

    It's a shame, but you'll always find someone cashing in on other peoples' misfortunes, and if that makes me a cynical git too, I'm happy to join you! :beer:

    I've just ordered mine from the Poppy site...wasn't quick enough this morning on QVC...But pleased I managed to get one for next year. :T

    Totally disgusted however about people on Ebay selling them... :mad:...Stupid prices.

    Well I ordered one on 1st November and they have taken the money by the 3rd November but I still havent received it. I know its for a good cause but I do feel its wrong taking peoples money before they even have stock! And an email update wouldnt go amiss either!

    Same situation here. Not very impressed with their service to be honest.

    Ebay should be taking those listings off the site if they're not sending payments to the charity.
  • Do we have to pay VAT on these? Doesn't this charity qualify for Gift Aid?
  • I watched the Buckley jewellery show this morning on QVC, and Adrian said that the brooches are donated to the Royal British Legion - he doesn't make a penny (a bit like all the companies who donate products free of charge for Breast Cancer Awareness night), so that's really nice to know.

    It could be the design he donated, because QVC obviously aren't giving any money because if they were they would be displaying the fact quite prominently on the website.
