So, my little experience here.
I am on ebay from 2002. I bought and sold a lot of stuff (I definitively prefer to buy), but not so much as you. I bought from Italy, Germany, UK, France, Switzerland, Beglium, Denmark, Spain, Holland and some other european countries. Also from USA, Canada, China and Australia.
Germans - Are good people. Usually they do not like talk about facts but like to do facts, and I prefer like that. Extremely patients. Often they are very helpful and kindly persons, more than others.
French - Generally are decents, but sometimes superficial...It may depends
English - Are good people too. Efficients and honest persons. Very quick. Sometimes you find someone is bored and not so cooperative as you would expected.
Canadians - Good and friendly, nothig wrong with them
Australians - Very good people. It seems they like communicate with buyers. Cooperative and kindly too.
Americans - Well, very similar to whatever good sellers you could find. Very patiens. But, I agree with paul when he said they tend to ignore anyone who lives outside the USA when asked about shipping. I found someone was very sweet!
Italians - Hahahaha...well, what I can say...They are perfectly able to be the best seller on ebay. Very cooperative, like to do a lot of bla bla bla (
). Kindly, friendly, they can work hard in order to make you happy. But they perfectly can be the WORST on ebay. They are able to invent the worst bullshit to persuade you they are right (
). I was frauded from italian ebayers one or two times... Someone say:
Italians do it better...well, it is true, but it depends for whom is
better The world is the same wherever you go!
