I have a question, for I'm completely unaware of how works a bid. Urulókë when you say : "£1,050, not including the 20% buyer's premium and the 3.95% online commission.", that's a total paiement of 1,300£ for a bid of 1,050£ ? Or maybe more with the shipping ?

Correct. Looking at their terms and conditions, shipping is also additional (they have an in house team or there is another shipping company close by that you can arrange to pick up your lot and pack and ship if you prefer.)
Also found this quote, thought it was funny.
It should be noted that books and magazines can be affected by wormholes
