wants 20 euros to send to the UK. Steep. Very. But not insane. He wants
Western Union though. While they're not as dodgy as eBay say they are, it's
still true that the seller ONLY accepts payment methods that offer NO
protection to the buyer! At least with insured banknotes sent by Airsure, I
get to claim them off the post office if they go awol, and so far far he
won't accept a method than gives me ANY cover, let alone cover against
problems caused by the seller directly.
It's not a great way to do international business. If he wants to restrict
that much, he ought to have appropriately restricted his market area to the
country he's in.

He finally responded. Took three tries over five days but it worked. HeLostgallifreyan wrote:

the (national) postage is given as Euro 10.00 (this excludes
insurance). This is a bit on the high side, but within reason.
National. I asked about international. He never answered. If
answering that is too hard to do, but expecting me to go outside eBay
for all 3000 is preferable then I don't want to do business with the
man. As it is, none of his accepted payment methods give ANY
protection for eBayers. Curious, no?
Within the EU AIUI, postage is supposed to be the same as national
postage to any country within the Union.
OTOH if the guy won't answer questions, I'd have nothing to do with
him.
