Normal for Bury

It's a pity ebay don't offer a drop down menu that includes copies as a reason to report an item. I can't see a way to inform ebay that describes the problem, but I guess that is just the way they like it - no hassle and fees received.

Here you go Pete......I have one slabbed UNC, but I already have a pic of this one.

I don't know what the regular mail insurance limit is in the US, but suspect it will be aligned with this country where the maximum insured value is £250. Over that and you are using a courier (including Parcelforce) which is considerably higher, or if you have separate insurance, you can send it regular mail. Prices can escalate. If I want to send a higher value thing to the US with a courier, the price is in the £30 area, but can be more depending on value. For imports from the US to me, $30 is a minimum charge whichever auction house it comes from. They won't send it on a wing and a prayer as they are responsible for it getting to you, so arses will be covered.

I was fully aware of the buyer's premium, but $50 USD for postage and $10 USD for insurance was covered by some phrase to the effect of "postage may be higher for international destinations". For heaven's sake! The coin only weighs three grams! $35 USD wire charge? Hmm. I could ask them to consider using a more economical postal service, but don't like my chances. I'll certainly be challenging the wire charge, though.

Can we keep the politics to the non-coin section of the forum. I came here to avoid thinking about it!

Yes unfortunately i think it will be correct ,although yes the fees are high 😊 The commision of 20% plus if you convert to english pounds the £70 for the other bits and pieces. I think looking in Australia you dont have to pay any customs ,although i may be wrong and that would of bumped it up even more. I am sure the amount to pay will be broken down and will be exactly what it says in there terms. Unfortunately you will just have to pay them and one of those lessons most of us have learned at some point.

Ouch! I would try and find a way to pay promptly, their terms appear fairly strict (though I have no personal experience of them) and I suspect any default would work out expensive in the long run. Can you not eliminate the wire fee by paying with PayPal, as a ‘gift’ if necessary? Even a standard PayPal fee would probably be cheaper than the wire charge. They give the sale price as $336, I presume this includes the buyers premium? Nice coin though. Jerry
