If the print arrives fingerprinted and generally dog eared what is the come back? I see they have a visa machine on the counter. I've emailed and asked if they will accept the old card. The bank says ยฃ25 charge plus potentially a charge from their bank too. Hmmmm.

Sooooooo annoying that they wouldnt take amex,visa,mastercard or paypal buy hey whatcha gunna do!?! |

I would have liked Ben to have had all of the sold ones sent back to UK (or wherever, but mainly UK buyers) in one packaged marked 'returns' , no duty or postage to pay, and then send them out when they are home in London. Individually sending from UAE seems a pi take

I emailed Sossy and asked if I could ring through a credit card payment but was advised they needed the actual card to do that. Not sure about that.
Anyway bank transfer tomorrow and crossed fingers.

I don't blame you. Just remember that although Dubai appears shiny on the outside, really it's not. I'm not suggesting that this gallery is anything but stand-up and genuine, as I have no reason to doubt they're not. But as a frequent visitor to the UAE, I would still suggest thst the buyer is protected while making transactions.

I don't think that there will be any additional bank transfer charges as the account is a sterling account so I think that ยฃ20 is the lot. With regards to import duty and VAT, duty is nil and VAT is 5%. I will be claiming back any overpaid vat or duty.
