There are a few bits would like to buy i have looked through similar questions but just wanted to clarify before I make any bids... the advance payment is this a bank transfer you can do via internet banking?

Thanks for your help..

That's how it usually works, unless you are picking up the item and pay when you do that. The seller will give you their bank details, you pay, they send. Works great and the bank doesn't rob the seller like Paypal does.

Thanks for the quick reply... v. helpful wish i had never looked on there as lot of bargains prices for what im after!
