How to buy an item
Contact Bazza’s Bazaar via phone, fax or email or, if you are using the service for the first time, use the on-line form. Please quote the reference number of the item. You will be required to supply your name, contact address, contact telephone number and email address. Once Bazza’s Bazaar has confirmed that the listed item is still available and you wish to proceed with a purchase you will be required to pay Bazza’s Bazaar in full. This will include shipping costs and taxes etc. where applicable. If import duties and other import taxes apply the buyer will be responsible for them. The money received by Bazaar’s Bazaar will be paid into the Clients Account and held there until the item has been delivered. BB List Ltd offers an Escrow Service. Please see the guide for buyers and sellers
Buyers must agree to the Conditions of Sale (Buyers Contract)
For the prices of items listed in currencies other than your own there is a link to a currency calculator on they web site.
Your first move is to contact Bazza’s Bazaar by mail, email, fax or phone or use the on-line form. Unless we already have your contact details we require your name, a contact postal address, telephone/fax numbers, mobile phone number and email address. A mobile phone number would be useful because we intend to SMS messaging as a quick method of contacting you during negotiations.
Any further information you require about a listed item will be obtained from the Vendor by the Agent (Bazza’s Bazaar), on your behalf and communicated to you.

Payment
After negotiating the price should you wish to proceed with buying the item you will then pay the agreed price plus carriage, insurance and any VAT, or the equivalent, or other taxes. Payment will be made to the Agent who will deposit the money in the non-interest bearing Clients Account. The Buyer will be responsible for shipping costs and any import duties or other taxes due on delivery, where applicable. For British Residents a useful site if you wish to calculate Duty and Vat to be paid on imported goods is http://www.hmce.gov.uk/
Payment will be in pounds sterling by cash or a cheque drawn of a British Bank, or a Banker’s Draft drawn of a British Bank or BACS. All payments must be cleared by the bank before the items are despatched.
If the Buyer does not have a British bank account then payment may be made either by Eurogiro. Obtainable from a post office in Europe and also cheapest method of payment.

• International Payment Order. Obtainable from Banks. You then send this to us by mail.
• Electronic transfer, via SWIFT MT100. SWIFT is the safest and quickest method of payment. All bank charges must be paid by the remitter. Payment will be in Sterling. Bazza’s Bazaar will issue you with a receipt for the payment.

Value Added Tax (VAT) or its equivalent in an EC country
Where a Vendor is registered for VAT, VAT must be paid by the Buyer.
If the Vendor is registered for VAT in an EC country and the Buyer is registered for VAT in a different EC country, VAT will not be charged by the Vendor provided the buyer provides a valid VAT registration number.
If the Buyer is resident outside the EC, VAT will not be charged provided the item is shipped by a recognised carrier and a commercial invoice and Air Way Bill is used for the export.
Payment for items under £100 in value will only be accepted by BACS. We can no longer accept payment by cheque for amounts below £100.
Bazza’s Bazaar will contact the Vendor to assist in aranging the despatch and subsequent delivery of the item to the Buyer. The buyer will be informed when the item was despatched and when it is likely to be delivered. A tracking number, provided by the carrier, will be made available by the vendor to Bazza’s Bazaar and the buyer so that all three parties will be able to track the progress of the item during transit. Items will only be shipped to the contact postal address provided.
The Buyer will be given 24 hours to examine the item. If the item is not as described in the listings, Bazza’s Bazaar must be contacted immediately so that the item is collected within 48 hours of delivery and then returned to the Vendor.
If Bazza’s Bazaar is not contacted by the Buyer within 24 hours of delivery of the item it will be assumed that the Buyer is satisfied and the Vendor will be paid by Bazza’s Bazaar.
On delivery, please examine the packaging carefully to see whether or not the package has been opened or damaged. It has been known for Customs Officers to damage items when examining them. The shipping company and the Agent must be informed immediately of any damage.
It might be useful to take photographs of the damage so that an insurance claim against the shipping company can be substantiated.
The only other reason for returning the item, if it is undamaged, is that it clearly is not as described in the listing. In case of dispute provide Bazza’s Bazaar with an inventory of the item/s received with serial numbers and possibly photographs. Bazza’s Bazaar must be informed within 24 hours of delivery. No claim will be considered after that time.

Escrow Service
Buying at a distance raises the concern about sending money, cash or a cheque, to an unknown person in the hope that they will send you the item you wish to buy. Another concern is that when the item arrives it may not be what is expected or in the condition described.
The Vendor’s dilemma is whether or not to send the goods before receiving payment.
Bazza’s Bazaar will now ease those problems for you by providing our escrow service
Any item listed in Bazza’s Bazaar Catalogue or published on the web site database can only be sold or purchased through the Escrow Service offered by BB List Ltd. This will effectively be a five stage process

• 1 A deal agreed
• 2 The Buyer pays BB List Ltd
• 3 The merchandise is shipped by the Vendor to the Buyer
• 4 The Buyer is allowed to examine and approve the merchandise
• 5 The Vendor is paid

Payment for any item will be made to BB List Ltd where it will be paid into the Escrow bank account. When the payment has been cleared by the bank, and not before, BB List Ltd will contact a shipping company and instruct it to collect the item from the Vendor.
Only carriers (shipping companies) which offer the facility to track items via the Internet, should be used. This tracking facility will enable BB List Ltd., the Buyer and the Vendor to know the time and date when the item was collected, where it is in transit and, importantly, the delivery time and place. Unless otherwise agreed by the Vendor, shipping charges and insurance will be paid by the Buyer. The Buyer will be given 24 hours maximum to examine and approve the item. Should it not be as described in the catalogue or not functioning if it was sold as a functioning item the item must be returned by the same carrier used to ship the item, and collected by that carrier within 48 hours of delivery. If the item is not returned within that period it is deemed that the Buyer is satisfied and the Vendor will be immediately paid by BB List Ltd., less any commission and any other charges and VAT, where this is applicable.
It must also be pointed out that the sale is not between BB List Ltd and the buyer but between the vendor and the buyer. Therefore the buyer should immediately notify the seller of any problem. Of course BB list should be notified too so the payment can be withheld from the vendor until the problem is settled.
This system will now give Vendors greater confidence in that they will receive payment or, in the unlikely event that the goods have been inaccurately described, they will have their property returned.
Buyers can be confident that they will receive the goods, and with some guarantee that the condition will be as stated by the Vendor.

Feedback
On completion of any transaction we will ask buyers to provide us with feedback. This is not compulsory, of course. Feedback is published alongside any listing or future listing by the vendor.
