I had already passed on the info to the buyer that these fees would be refunded. So my reputation with him was tarnished. To make it right, I offered him to refund the fees myself, even though I will be out the entire amount. So, no, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus at eBay Global Shipping. Steve[/QUOTE]
