    Thank you for looking

    So this is a first for me. As I have made many purchases on EBay in the UK over the years. I have never run into this. Mind you this is my first purchase this year from the UK.

    The Ebay seller says he needs my national ID to ship. What is that and what’s up. He sent a screen shot of the info. Any and all input will be very much appreciated.

    Tom, I think he is looking for your UK tax ID number. It’s like the equivalent of your social security number in America. That sounds like a new requirement.

    Not going to give that out. Guess I am done buying out of the US. Thanks for the info.

    I've never had to do that on any int'l purchase, which would include UK, Bulgaria, India, China, & Portugal.
    Are you purchasing as a reseller or non-profit, instead of as a consumer? That would make a difference here in US, and might internationally as well.

    Private person. I am thinking they may have not shipped over seas before.

    That would make sense. There're a lot of small vendors on EBay. And if they're new....

    GSP?
    Or is this for a courier?

    All good. The seller filled it out without the ID and the Courier took the parcel no issues. Now the long wait.:happy108:

    I've heard that some wabbits can be waskewy but I'd never thought to require proof or ID. Huh.

    I’ve never seen one of those I don’t think. What is the threaded rod looking thing by the razor, and the other item closest to the hinge?

    These are wedge blade razors. So the threaded rod thing is the blade holder to strop the blades. The blades are the things up by the hinge. There are 3 blades in this set.
    This razor can also accept an SE blade also.
    They call this particular model a 3 day Pall Mall set.
    Made by Wilkinson.

    Just received the razor. The seller mailed on Friday from the UK. I got it in Cali today Wednesday. 5 days that must be some kind of record. It can take that long to get something from Arizona.
