The Society of St James (SSJ), trading as Jamie's Computers, is a UK registered charity. SSJ is a Southampton-based homelessness charity, providing a range of supported living services in Southampton, Portsmouth and across Hampshire. We provide a wide range of support to people from all walks of life experiencing homelessness, problematic alcohol or substance use and mental health problems.
Set up by SSJ in 2002, Jamies helps recycle all kinds of IT and computer equipment, both professionally and ethically. We're located in Southampton. 70% of donated equipment is reused, recycled and upcycled to Microsoft standards. The rest is broken down into components and recycled, meaning that 0% of material goes to landfill. We also provide volunteering opportunities to give individuals the chance to learn practical skills in a real business environment.
| Payment | Jamie's computers only accepts payments through eBay for items purchased on eBay. Items sold through auction must be paid for within 30 days. After 30 days the item is then offered to the next highest bidder. |

| Shipping | Jamie's Computers will only accept orders with a UK mainland shipping address. We aim to ship all items within 3 working days of payment using DHL, Royal Mail or FedEx. We do not ship items over the weekends. Items may be collected from our storefront on weekdays between 09:00 and 16:00 by arrangement. Please ensure you bring your eBay collection code with you. |
| VAT Invoices | Jamie's Computers is the trading arm of The Society of St James, a registered charity. Under UK tax law, charities are entitled to a specific VAT relief known as "zero-rating" on the sale of donated goods. Because the items we sell were donated to us for the purpose of fundraising, the VAT rate applied to these sales is 0%. Since no VAT is actually charged on the transaction, we cannot provide an invoice showing a standard 20% VAT amount. This government relief is designed to ensure that 100% of your purchase price goes directly toward supporting our mission rather than being diverted to tax. |
| Returns |
All returns must be conducted via eBay, we cannot organise returns via email or any other channel. |
