IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING PAYMENT

Instances are still occuring where overseas buyers are making payment without checking the shipping costs to destinations outside of the U.K.While fast payment is much appreciated,the substantial difference in rates cannot be absorbed.We try to make shipping costs on each item as clear as possible and rates are quoted for all destinations on each listing.When payment is made via Paypal it is not adequate just to pay the balance via a second payment as Paypal make a further charge as if a separate transaction.This invariably seems to occur on small monetary value items and the charges become totally disproportionate to the cost of the item.If you are not sure of the shipping charges PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL AN INVOICE IS RECEIVED FROM FIREBIRD RECORDS.If incorrect payment is made we will have no alternative but to refund the total payment and request that the correct amount be paid.On several occasions recently where underpayment has occured,requests for additional payment have been ignored but despite this we have forwarded the goods.In future no items will be sent until correct single payment has been made.If no response is obtained within 7 days of request,the sale will be declared void and the item withdrawn from offer.Again we would apologise to the great majority of our ebay customers for having to restate this and who seem to have no problem reading and understanding our shipping costs.

If there is a problem with making payment within the specified period [holidays etc] please advise us before bidding. Receipt of payment is always ackowledged and items are normally posted out within a maximum of 48 hours after payment. We do not post over weekends so there may be a slight delay where payments are received on Friday or Saturday. Regarding feedback, in the past we have always left feedback on receipt of payment. However due to the increasing number of members who in return seem incapable of observing this most basic of Ebay protocols,this policy is now under review.

Would successful bidders please not use checkout but await receipt of invoice from Firebird Records before paying.
