Buying from a foreign seller - shipping to UK

I ordered a buy-it-now item from a German trader. The transaction stalled because the supplier didn't have a price for the item shipped to the UK. As suggested, I contacted the seller and asked for a quote. Eventually, I got a price for the shipping costs - but cannot see, or get the seller to explain, how I can proceed with the purchase.

Am I missing something? TIA

    Hi

    Ask the seller to send you an invoice with the postage charge amended to the agreed price.

    If they're a business seller, I'm surprised they haven't already done so.
    Exclamation and question marks - ONE exclamation mark or question mark is sufficient to exclaim or ask about something. More than one just makes you look/sound like a prat.

    . Dear oh dear. You really should have, or should've listened at school when that nice English teacher was explaining how words get abbreviated.
