International buttholes on eBay

Red,
  I admit I haven't read all three pages of this thread... But I know what you mean, I am getting them too. It seems that the Italian Post Office is the worst offender.
I have a question though - IF the tracking # does go far enough to say the package was accepted by your local Post Office - who is responsible? Us, or the USPS/ foreign Post Office.
I really hate to kill off the foreign buyers right now with the U.S. Dollar so weak - but we are damned either way we turn.

You have no place to call Red a scammer. just because one transaction doesn't work does not mean you have to go and slander this guy. I have heard nothing but good things about Red so you and red should work it out your issues rather than you Ideal go whining like a little kid who hurt himself.

I have dealt with Red for a couple of years, and know other people in the trade who know him. He is as honest and fair as anyone will come across.
We will suffer greatly from his leaving this field. I don't think the average Amiga user realizes this yet.

A note on shipping to Italy:
   A package was finally delivered, some 43 days after it was mailed Priority Mail International from just outside of Washington D.C.!  Now I'll never know if the Paypal Seller Protection Plan works....

It looks like Italy is a singularly dangerous country to mail to, unless we use Express Mail International. Much of the trouble seems to be the Italian Postal Service. One package I had mailed Priority Mail International took 43 days to get delivered!!! I am so glad I have an honest customer, who told me it had been delivered, because the tracking on this one died asfter leaving my city.
It's getting harder to win....
