Discounts, Best Offers, or Markdowns Tips:- Discounts (%) deducted at checkout are not valid if Best Offer is used. If you benefit more from the discount amount, just Buy It Now instead of making an offer and the Discount will be deducted at checkout. Best offers are available on some items. Please offer reasonable offers, as very low offers will be rejected. Markdowns will show the previous price and the new marked down offer price. Some markdowns may have Best Offer on the listing. It is unlikely that a Best Offer will be considered if the item is already Marked Down. Combined Postage. We are happy to combine postage costs on most multiple buys. This has already been set up automatically on our listings where we usually stock more than one of that particular item. Just add the items to your basket and checkout and the postage discount will be applied. For one off listings, buyers may request a total BEFORE paying. You may want to look up the process to do this on Ebay. We do not combine postage costs once items are paid for but we reserve the right to send out multiple orders to the same address in the same parcel. Ebay (not Pillar Box Gifts) does not allow combined postage on items that are already discounted and you may find that the request total button is greyed out and inactive. This is an automatic Ebay system setting and not our choice. If you are unsure about anything, please ask before buying and/or paying. Brexit and how it may affect you as an International buyer. As of 01/01/21, the UK left the European Union and so therefore international buyers will be responsible for any sales tax that will be applicable in their country. This tax may be payable before your country's postal/customs system will release your item to you. We, Pillar Box Gifts Ltd, are not in any way, responsible for delays, charges, or costs to you the buyer, either for collection of any taxes or your collection of held items. This is the buyers' responsibility and you should investigate your own country's rules/laws regarding these new regulations. Customs Declarations. Please do not ask for us to fill in a lower value than the actual purchase value on any documentation. Firstly, this is an illegal act, and both buyer and seller can be fined, and second, it is against Ebay policy. There are no exceptions to this.
