Okay this in my mini-rant about eBay.

EBAY USERS AND THEIR BEHAVIOUR
=========================

UK eBayers - are usually the least patient when waiting for goods (I know as I'm sometimes impatient too!).

German eBayers - do not like PayPal or any other online payment system. ???

French eBayers - usually pretty deceitful, so beware of them.

American eBayers - tend to ignore anyone who lives outside the USA when asked about shipping.
(to Europe for example)

Australian eBayers - YAY for the good guys, seriously...I can't think of anything bad to say about them!

Japanese eBayers - always get the coolest items FIRST! 8)

I also do business with other countries, but these are the main ones...

Anyone else wants to add to my eBay rant - feel free!

VENT THY FURY AT EBAY!

LOL!

Ihave bent because Ebay has allowed a banned seller to resurface and sell items I won & paid for again!

My experience:

UK ebayers - Friendly folk
US ebayers - Friendly folk too
Italian ebayers - Friendly folk three
German ebayers - General friendly folk but my advice is to inquire some more before bidding; about condition of packaging and the payment methods they accept. (I came across a German fellow who accepted foreign bank transfers but did not have IBAN or BIC. How you gonna accept foreign payments then? )

Australian eBayers , personally been burnt twice

Aussies can be as dodgy as anyone else , i should know lived here all my life !

eBay just trys to hush it up !

Well ive only had 3 bad and 4 or 5 semi bad problems so far out of abot 150 things ive bought.

FIRST -  ive learned is it doesnt matter what it looks like or how its listed and what their feedback rating is.

SECOND - ebay/paypal could careless about anything but there money no matter how wrong the other guy is.

Just had a phone i sold turn into a giant f@#* dunghill of problems for me, sold a phone to a guy who after the 3rd day reported me for not sending it to him(no where did it say overnight or imediate shipping), i told him it was on its way but that wasnt good enough for him, he reported it to paypal who he told i said i would send phone right away and didnt(never said) then paypal  put a hold on my account so i had to put money back into paypay so i could even buy something if i wanted, the only option paypay gave me in my account was to give him his money back, i called paypal and their man told me the case was being dropped in 3 days because he got the phone so case closed. 5 days later paypal sends me a messege saying they are going to refund his money including shipping as soon as phone is shipped out of my papal account. week later phone shows up in a shirt bag(cheap punk took it outta box i shipped it in to save shipping for himself) and phone box is smashed, i call paypal and they say their sry but nothing they can do but that they are sorry, week later i get messege from buyer who is asking for his money back, i look up my paypal and see they havent paid him and have now denied his attempt for a refund..........so know i have a phone in damaged box and someone expecting their money returned, im wordering what paypay is gonna tell me to do next....heh this is better than the other 2 bad times ive had on ebay at least.

The part about the "oh pretty please mr officer lemme have my package and I will accidentally forget my nice bottle of vodka on your table" was funny

Not really but the way you told it was


I'm sorry to hear about your Mercury sub-System. I have a cable coming soon. I hope mine works


Same seller I think ???

If you don't mind sending both together... Yours would solve the lack of a medusa problem for testing. If the brick is good, I plan to make a medusa and use my black cable. I could then return yours
