Don't want to wait for the auction to end? If there have been no bids, makes an offer above the starting price for a chance to win without the risk of being outbid.
UK buyers, I always combine postage where possible, subject to weight and value limits.
Non-UK buyers, all my sales outside the country of listing go via eBay's Global Shipping Programme. If you want to buy multiple items, please let me know before you make any bids or offers and I will combine into as few listings as possible to minimise your shipping costs.
