I am going to UK this week, and then need to go to Paris for 11 days
via Euro, then back to London, and don't know if I should buy my
Eurostar ticket when I get there or here?

You have already lost your biggest savings by not booking 21 days out.

I booked at home for the EuroStar, it was the listed fare plus 3% for
CC clearing fee.

You are almost certainly better off buying them in London - especially
given that you are not going to get any benefit from buying them
significantly in advance if you are travelling this week. You
*should* be able to cost out prices from London on the web using
http://www.eurostar.com/

You could try www.railbookers.com they also arrange accomodation if
required. No connection just a satisfied customer. BobS

Can you buy the tickets and have them delivered in time for your
trip...??? I would just buy them in London..... Went to the Eurostar
counter at Waterloo station, no problem for the next days travel.
Before I left the States, I paid a premium price for tickets to the
Louvre hoping I would avoid the lines..... tickets arrived the day
after I left for London, ticket kiosk at the Louvre was easy, and no
line at all..... oh well...... Just buy them there, and have a
great trip....!

Why have them delivered and rely on mail-service when you can book on-line
at home any time and pick upp the tickets at the station just before
departure.
You have to confirm with the same cc used for the booking but that's all.

No problems , but you can't take advantage of the good pre-booking offers.
Best offers are for prebooking 21days or more

Eurostar train system isn't the Louvre..... !

Might be better to order online and pick up at the will-call window...
shorter line for me the 1st week of this month and a lot easier too.

You could order them online and pick them up at a Virgin/Virgin
MegaStore.
