Explanation of Shipping and Handling Charges

Please note that in addition to actual postage cost, and the packing costs, Ebay permits the addition of a reasonable handling fee, to cover the unseen costs of posting an item. This handling fee is allowed to include a contribution to the cost of fees associated with payment - ie. paypal fees, banking charges, currency exchange charges, etc.

Depending on the structure and policies of the business you are dealing with, handling costs can vary considerably (different businesses have different costs). Therefore, when buying any item on Ebay, it is always advisable to confirm the postage and handling cost prior to bidding, then add this to your bid price and consider the price as a whole before making your purchasing decision.

We do not make any profit from our shipping costs, and for your peace of mind, we are happy to provide an explanation of how we have calculated our postage costs.

So, for those of you who wonder why you pay £1.50 for "postage" yet your package only has a first class stamp, here's a list of the costs we incur in the postage of your item:

- the actual cost of the postage stamp
- a contribution towards the monthly Smart Stamp subscription fee (Royal mail charge for the privilege of saving them paper and ink)
- the printing of the stamp - ink, sticky label, electricity 
- a jiffy bag / mailer
- the printing of a dispatch note - ink, paper
- documents enclosed envelope
- fragile and return address labels
- a contribution to the wages of packing staff - we are power sellers with a lot of items to package up!
- a contribution to the cost of accepting payment, as detailed above
- a contribution to transport costs to actually post the order

Please also bear in mind that your order is sent fully insured. 

We're sure that you will find our shipping costs to be both reasonable and competitive
