Whats the alternative if I can't use recorded?

How much will it cost??

(sorry, I've only ever sold a few bits and bobs on ebay so this is all abit scary sending stuff overseas)

yes you can send it 'international signed for'

royal mail sending abroad

on the same site you can also use the drop-down menu at the top to calculate how much it will cost by weight. I always found it more expensive than I hoped and gave up selling ebay items abroad!

international signed for or airsure (tracked right to the end, and more compensation if it goes missing) you have to fill in a declaration form too

We're selling the old smart media card from our digital camera so it shouldn't weigh more than normal letter.
Will I have to fill forms in fo rthat too??

Seems a bit of a faff.

don't know, you're probably meant to.

You're right it does all seem a bit of a faff.

How much is the card worth ?

southeastastra · 24/11/2006 13:02

if it's just a normal letter size just stick an airmail sticker on it, take to the po and post! if you want it signed for do international signed for - cheapest option.

LOL, £1.24 atm Hub! I've got my first bid this morning.

I've emailed him and said I'm keeping it a s aUK auction, can't be asked with all the faff of sending it so far.
It scares me enough selling here!!

Know the feeling LOL. I was only asking as IIRC and you get a proof of posting, an item is automatically covered for up to £20 (I think I've got that right, but possibly not !).

LadyTophamHatt · 24/11/2006 16:10

Well, after i'd emailed him to say UK only the cheeky bugger put a bid in anyway!!!

He's been outbid now but thats besides the point, isn't it!!??
