[QUOTE="Frunkstar, post: 540987, member: 314"] Holy crap - long time, I assume you are one & the same? we used to chat a lot, you had a stormie focus right??, if so hello hello there & good to see you back at it, oddly enough you just came up in conversating the other day with another collecting buddy. As for the ebay thing, it's not known as the global shitting programe for nothing mate, I opted out as they forced everyone to join years back when it wwas first implimented, even though I opted out they enrolled me but after some googling I found a way to get back out of it. You just know the packaging department are not going to put the same effort into making the parcel sercure & bomb proof like they need to be for fragile vintage items (yes they do repack them), I refuse point blank to use it, if sellers only offers it I have someone stateside buy it & have it sent to them & then on to myself, I spent many weeks bending HMRC's ear to finally get the correct 5% comodity code out of them (blood from a stone) 1st parcel (& only) one I sent with it had the code marked on all 6 sides in 2" block capitals in red marker, suffice to say they totally ignored the code & charged me the full 20% + the criminal handling charge so I had to jump through hoops to claim my 15% back which was hell, so now everything goes low value (£15) / gift / plastic toy & I just run the gauntlet.
