All About MeWhat everyone should know about me
I'm English but live in Netherlands. I believe in courtesy as a necessary value, it means much and costs nothing.
If any of the buyer conditions below do not meet with your approval, please feel free to take whatever steps you deem appropriate.
Things I buy
Languages spoken:
Dutch, English, German, Spanish
InterestsFeedback.
Sellers, I always pay promptly and from my bank account so that you will incur no Paypal credit card fees. Please be aware that I will not leave feedback for you unless you have done so previously for me. My part of the job is done with payment. If this is not acceptable, please feel free to cancel my bids. Nothing you have for sale is more important than decorum.
Business InformationShipping information
More and more, sellers are claiming outrageous rates for shipping in order to make up their Ebay fees. In all business, even at 'proper' auction, sellers have costs to pay.
Please note that I will only pay actual shipping plus a reasonable amount for packaging, if you inflate your prices I won't buy and you'll lose a possible higher sale. All information pertaining is available at www.royalmail.com. Also, I would like all items sent either by 'Royal Mail International Signed For', or 'Airsure'. It should make no difference to the seller, you're going to the post office anyway and I'm paying for it. As I am not at home much of the day it is a great help to have the tracking number so as to ascertain on which day delivery might take place. That way I can contact, or be contacted by, my local delivery depot to make arrangements. It works a little differently here, mainly because of my remote location but also because we have a decent postal service.
Paypal Payments.
Due to rigid and highly efficient Government privacy regulations, Paypal.NL members cannot have 'verified addresses'. Apart from a few countries, The UK, US, Germany and a handful of others, Paypal do not do verified addresses worldwide! I have no way of changing this, it is a Paypal thing and fully checkable online. Any seller whose system is set up to receive Paypal payments automatically will return my payment as unacceptable if this feature is turned on. Those with this system will know what I mean. I will always pay, directly from my bank account, as close to end of auction as possible, sometimes sleep or waiting for invoices might get in the way. I do not bid on anything that ends while I'm away from home.
