The way I read it is that you are selling the tickets for £3.00 to make money for the appeal, and then charging £7.00 post and packing to send them out, which won't be going to the appeal. If it were all going to the appeal, why set it up in this way?

Brian, what he is doing is a fee dodge employed now by many eBay sellers.

Ebay charges are based on the actual cost of the item and not the delivery charge.

So sellers are now placing say a Guitar on for Buy It Now £50 with a delivery charge of £200. The costs to the seller are much reduced and eBay are missing out on some fees.

as for the auction..........I don't agree with anyone setting up their own collection as noone knows where the dosh goes no matter what the collector says............better to give to the big 12 official peeps. Even there, it is purported that only 1/3 gets to the people that need it.

Also if you donate directly to the charities involved, you tick the little gift aid box and that nice Chancellor gives them your tax back as well (assuming that one is a UK taxpayer). I know some years ago there was some concern over the amount of money some charities actually passed on, I hope there has been some improvement more recently.
