[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2370819, member: 1892"]That works. It's [B]clear[/B] this mistake is on him, and it should be noted I react to these kind of threads with the viewpoint of a seller, not a buyer; I've sold far more than I've bought on Ebay. True story: Years ago I sold a camera and a lens independently in one batch of auctions, to two different buyers in Canada. I brainfarted and switched the shipping destinations. Worse, one of the two - forget which - was subject to import duty and the other wasn't. So the wrong guy got stuck with duty for an item he didn't buy, just to receive it and find out it wasn't what he bought. I made all that right with both of them, paid for them to cross-ship, refunded the one guy's duty, and took a [B]bath[/B] on the whole thing. My personal loss on the deal was into three figures for $750 worth of sale, even though I broke even on the original transactions from my viewpoint, which is all I wanted from selling used camera gear. I still have neither a Neg or a Neutral in 17 years of selling, nor have I ever had a return. They both gave me Positives. [B]That's[/B] what it takes to be able to say that.[/QUOTE]
