Yup, that's fine. I've just gone through exactly the same process with them. Some research shows that afterbuy.de is an auction completion site which was bought by ebay. I was wary when I received the link but it's all kosher and the goods arrived without problem.

+1 to Andy
I went through that process as well, and everything was fine. The goods arrived about 3 days later.

Hi guys, shinies arrived this morning. Excellent service, paid Thursday night and arrived Tuesday morning.
The 100l pots bigger than I thought.

What's the procedure when you buy from these people -- is it that you buy the item and then ask for the p&P? Just wondering, 'cos I bought a stockpot off them a week ago and haven't heard back from them yet.

The item I wanted was listed on ebay.fr but the postage specified was France only. So I emailed them via ebay asking if they'd ship to UK, they replied asking me NOT to purchase the item on ebay.fr and sent me a purchase link which did the trick.

Same process for me, I sent them a "ask seller Question" via eBay France using google chrome browser which translated it into english and logged in via my normal eBay login. Asked about combined price and postage for 2 items. Got message back via eBay which was in French but again copied to google and it traslated it. It had a link which takes you to a page called afterbuy. Never heard of it which prompted original post. Did the PayPal link on Thursday and all arrived this morning. You get a good discount from the ebay price by the way. Well chuffed.
I did originally send an email to their company email which has been listed on previous posts but didn't get a reply so went with the ask seller option

Was 19 euros I think for both items.(cant find email) They came in 2 big boxes bound together but there was no internal protection. There was a slight dent in the 100 l pot but it was slight and I'm very very happy with the items. Don't hesitate to buy if you want shiny. Can't wait to out grow them so I can buy more.

It's very tempting to wait an extra few months and save up a bit more and go shiny.
