The Item Description: How has the item been described and what condition is it in. Read this thoroughly to ensure you know what you are getting D. Item location & Postage costs; If you want to bid on an item that it located outside of the UK, make sure that the seller is willing to ship internationally and at what cost. E.

With PayPal you can pay for items using your debit card, credit card or bank account and your financial details are never shared with the Seller. F.

G. Contact the Seller: if you still have questions about the item, email the seller BEFORE placing a bid.
