Phantom Photon Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Yes you can use your UK login details - it's all the same.As long as they will ship to the UK and you pay by an acceptable method (most German ebay users don't use PayPal) it should be ok style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Photon Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I mean acceptable to them. Most German sellers I've delt with will only either accept cash (Euros) by registered post or payment by bank transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr ColinG Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) It will say on the listing if they accept paypal. I have bought a few things from German e-bay no problem.If in doubt send an e-mail before you bid asking if they will ship to UK and shipping cost and which methods of payment are acceptable.

Philplop Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Bare in mind that bank transfers can be expensive, it would have cost me £25 to send €45 to Germany, so check with your bank first.Try to be sure that what you are buying is what you want, as the language barrier can be difficult if something is wrong. As long as the description is ok, you should have no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
