Han Dynasty Hu Jar Allen's Antiques Ltd 10 DAY AUCTION We Do Not Accept Paypal. It is not just PayPal's usurious charges we object to, but also the poor foreign exchange rate they give us when we repatriate our money to New Zealand. In addition, PayPal places the onus of responsibility for loss or damage in transit, on to the seller, even when the buyer insists the goods be sent by uninsured economy or air post. Please pay by Visa, Mastercard, telegraphic transfer or cashier's check (cheque).
