I agree. I switched to US Postal the very next day. Sadly, eBay's calculator isn't working outside the US so I'm providing estimates on an individual basis.

Perhaps the problem is just UPS. I thought they shipped everywhere. Maybe not. I will try switching to USPS.


If you're going to ship internationally, UPS should be avoided like the plague. They charge completely insane brokerage fees.

A common misconception for americans is that America is the ONLY civilised country on the planet with the new fangled idea of electricity.

A *MAJOR* portion of Amiga's userbase reside in the UK and european countries, a fair number in Australia and scatterings of other users in Other countries.

Some of us have *DEEP* pockets too.


Some common problems amongst Australians are mindless anti-Americanism and the unthinking perpetuation of stupid myths - such as "Americans think that America is the only civilised country on the planet".

Deep pockets or not, plenty of them have a big complex when it comes to the only global superpower.


Äh.... what has China to do with this ?  :-P  :lol:
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

So a gentleman from France won the auction but hasn't been too good about answering several of my emails. A necessary part of the shipping label generation involves the inclusion of a phone number. I cannot proceed without it. I found one instance in the invoice report where a ten digit number was listed under his address. The first three digits begin with 013. Can anyone tell me if this could be part of a valid telephone number for Saint Germain en Laye, Yvelines, France?

Strangely, this winning bidder was able to send me TWO invoice requests before I was forced to pick a shipping method for him (again, he never responded to my direct emails) as well as making the PayPal payment. Without a valid phone, however, I am stuck. I do not want to just make something up as it may be necessary to reach him. My only other option is to refund his payment. That might get his attention.

Thanks in advance for the help.
