Well i buy a lot from the states so that is not a problem BUT does that seller accept international sales?

Are you paying in USD and not sterling?

Does the seller accept paypal?

Thank you for your help, the problem have been resolved now as the seller contacted PayPal themselves and for some reason after that I was able to go though with the payment through PayPal Thank you
