We have an exciting new initiative; The Overseal Village Life Shop.

We have linked up with another organisation called ‘buy.at’ who effectively enable local organisations and communities to raise money from simply shopping online! Every year online retailers pay out billions in advertising and commission for adverts in order to generate business – what we are doing is claiming some of that money for our own good causes!
The commission earned by your group comes out of the retailers profit margin – it is their marketing spend.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is buy.at?
Buy.at/ is a simple concept. All online purchases via links on this page generate commission. Transactions by cheque or over the telephone (unless specified by the retailer, such as Laterooms) do not generate commission. At no time during the experience on the retailers sites should you edit the web address in the address bar. This will disable the commission being earned.
How does it work?
When you click on any links you will be taken through to specific retailers’ own websites. They are responsible for your order and credit card security.
Are there any charges for using buy.at?
buy.at is a completely free service.
Commission rates
The commission rate for a retailer is displayed with the retailer names in the A-Z tab at the top of the page. Any other information you need to know about this retailer will also be displayed. This information and the commissions apply equally whether a link or an image (such as the special offers images) is used to reach the retailers sites.
Occasionally a retailer may pay commission on only part of their product range. When this is the case it is detailed as clearly as possible. In cases where retailers link to third party shops commission is unlikely to be earned.
How do we receive the commission?
The commission is sent out to us as a cheque at the end of the month when we reach £20 or more. Not reaching £20 in a month simply means the money carries over until we do.
