Hi William, These do look like great moments in TV history! Wow, Patrick Duffy's green contact lenses and webbed feet, what a cheesy brilliant hoot! I would love to bid on them, but can you explain your payment options. One of the problems with international payments is the variation between banks in central Europe and the UK. I sold films to a buyer in the Netherlands who could only pay by bank transfer. My bank told me it would be free to receive (subsequently I was charged!). I would happily use the bank, but they will charge me between £10 and £20 for this service. Will you accept Paypal from the UK? Maybe you can explain why the rest of Europe trust each other so much more than the UK seem to? Bank transfer is very common and mainly preferred by almost all German ebay users (and I presume Belgian ebay users), yet here in the UK, asking for the sort and account number of someone's bank has most people in a panic that their details are going to be abused in some way! I fascinated to hear your thoughts on bank to bank payments and why they are so popular with you and so uncommon with UK users? It would save so much £ on paypal fees, and I presume ebay offer the seller protection if there is an issue? Many thanks
Thanks for your interest in my TV shows. As for payment don't worry, you can pay with Paypal, since you live in the UK. Everyone who lives in a European country that has the Euro as currency, can pay without any extra costs, thru money transfer. And I prefer this, because then there's no fee for that greedy paypal. But in your case and "the rest of world's" case, I just have to live with it. Happy bidding!
