Getting one this side of Xmas?

[HaHaUK]

I've just been asked to cover the paypal fees. Can you select that as an option or do you have to add the percentage onto the total yourself?

As I paid using eBay checkout I couldnt add the extra on top, so I sent an extra payment to him to cover fees.
Its against eBay regulations to make buyer pay the fees, so there is no option for this.

So basicly to go german is the way to have one before xmas?

I cant see no harm in it can u?

ist cheap too! near retail prices.

only prob is loading first time be in german or english as if german might be a bit ahrd to set to english.
Did you guys do buy it now or auctions?

I ask them questions like "SHIP TO UK!" and get no reply and then they end.
LOL

Aye, you add it manually. I think most people round it up to 4%. It's a bit dodgy really. If the seller has listed paypal as a payment method on the auction then they are liable for the fees, not the buyer. Probably best to avoid creating friction though

Thanks for the pointers, and thanks for the gift code (it covered the paypal fee).

I not sure what ones to bid on.. though I usinga translator cant tell who will ship to Uk or not.

[WazMeister]

is there a ebay french worth trying?

[HaHaUK]

I not sure what ones to bid on.. though I usinga translator cant tell who will ship to Uk or not.

See if it states Europa or EU under shipping, and French ebay (ebay.fr) they go for around 500-600euro.

Look for ones that say "Europa" or "World-weit" next to "Versand nach".

Some say "Europa nein Gro?britannien" which means mainland Europe only (surface mail).

Careful you don't bid on some kerazy auction where they only accept payment by bank transfer or will only make the goods available for collection. Germans are loony like that.

There lying ive bought pinball machines from Germany via ebay and paypal using my credit card for funds. If they want you to transfer funds into an account dont do it as it sounds dodgy besides you have more cover if you use your credit card for the transaction as you can get them to resind the monies if it doesnt turn up thereby going above Paypals head.
Paypal surcharge is 3% I used to pay it (?1600 pinball machine is a lot of a surcharge!) from the seller I used but now its against Ebay to charge for it with the seller so you can report them for it if your happy to you can do it privatly.

Its always the same with Ebay if in doubt dont send the money

[WazMeister]

Do these I cant see I think he says "E-mail me for europe p&P" somewhere lol

There was hardly anything on eBay.fr when I looked today - even less on eBay.it (less than one page of Premiums).

Seems Deutschland got all the 360s :/ Either that, or they just plain don't want them.

[WazMeister]

Whats this mean anyone?
Input at least EUR 427.50. Input please without 1000er-Trennzeichen, for example 1000.00

[anephric]

Btw, I really don't trust one of those dinky crap little Maplins Shuko adaptors on a 360 - I was gonna rewire.

What you mean dinky crap little maplins shuko things?

How do we rewire for Uk plug, I thought the whole lead is diffrent right?

[HaHaUK]

All you need is a replacement plug, which plugs into the massive 360 power box (like with the PSP charger or PStwo power box.) Although only way to get this is direct from M$. Or you can just use a travel adapter. Thats what Im gonna do, and if it doesnt feel safe, then Ill try and blag a power cable.
