    the transfer will be free (due to EU legislation)

    Any idea what legislation that is? I am being charged £20 by Barclays for a € transfer!

    It's free incoming, not outgoing! Blame all the people who didn't want us to have the euro ;)

    hi i have recently started to sell stuff on ebay just small bits, clothing etc
    to try and make some extra cash for xmas

    i have listed a bundle of clothing and i have put postage only within the uk,this is only because i am wary about posting abroad because i know nothing about it !

    even so someone has contacted me to see if i will post to germany,i would imagine the bundle will probably go for about £50 but to buy it new it would have been about £450

    if i knew it was safe then i would consider international postage,can someone tell me what i need to do ensure it definately gets there,what kind of compensation level i should place and what i should charge the item i really heavy probably about 15/20kg,also is there anything i should check with the buyer the feedback if over 200 and its 100% at the minute

    thanks in advance boots

    Post office do a service called " air-sure " and this tracks the package from sender to reciever with insurance included.

    Look into this for security. :)
