    Thanks Nikki - no, I'm not VAT registered and it'd be a private sale - but wasn't sure if there were rules covering electrical goods or items worth over a certain value. Now had an enquiry as to whether we'd send it to Australia so hope they don't win the auction!!

    just place in your listing that any orders overeas then the buyer may have to pay import duty.

    I'd be more concerned about finding a suitable courier that will ship this item and supply tracking and insurance.
