IMPORTANT ANTI FRAUD PROCEDURE. 

I have placed security seals over some of the screws. Please do not open this item if you intend to return it. I have taken a video proving it works. If you find upon receipt it does not work you will have to provide video evidence. DO NOT OPEN IT. Buyers outside of the UK pay for the return postage. Only bid if you intend to buy it.

I had a situation where a fully item was returned as faulty. The person who bought it swapped out the working CD mechanism with a faulty one and returned it. BEWARE FELLOW EBAY SELLERS. Protect yourselves.

Buyers overseas: If you want to return an item you have purchased you must factor the cost to return the item. I add weights and mesures to the prefilled section on the listing and you have my return address. You can ask me for this information if you cant find it so you can calculate the cost before you bid. It could exceed the cost of the items value. I got the blame for the high cost of returning an item from the US to the UK. Cant see why this my fault.

When shipping goods from Great Britain (the UK) to the USA, the primary customs consideration for individuals and small shipments is the de minimis threshold. Shipments valued at $800 USD or less are generally exempt from import duties and taxes, meaning no customs fees are charged by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for these amounts. This exemption applies to most personal imports, including clothing and other consumer goods, and is a significant factor in making cross-border shopping affordable for individuals. For shipments exceeding $800, import duties are calculated based on the Harmonized System (HS) code of the goods, which determines the applicable duty rate. These rates can vary significantly depending on the product category, ranging from 0% to over 12%. For example, the duty rate for umbrellas is 6.5%. The duty is calculated on the total value of the goods, including the cost of the items, freight, and insurance.
