On the shipping issue, I dont mind getting quotes for people by weighing the item and checking prices on the postoffice website, but its a pain as the postoffice website is never accurate- example:

I sold some boots the other day, and the online postage estimater said £5.50 for 2nd class signed for delivery, great I says, so thats what I state in the auction for shipping (inside the UK). When it comes to posting the item, I get to the postoffice and they say they cant do 2nd class signed for as its too heavy, I have to use 1st class recorded which is nearly £9. Suffice to say I took the loss on postage as I couldnt be assed with the hassle, but I understand the annoyance of overseas bidders wanting to buy something and then not being prepared to pay what you ask of them- I always round up the shipping costs anyway, but I never make much profit out of shipping, its not the done thing you know?
