This is soooo true. I've sold the Brooklyn Bridge 3 times on Ebay this month alone. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Maybe, but I left you both crappy feedback. You will never sell again.

Actually there was that guy on german ebay a couple months ago who was shipping bricks, old books and wood instead of digital cameras or notebooks. Even after he had around 15-20 very bad feedback entries where people said that they just got bricks or old books, there were other people dumb enough to still make buisiness with the guy. Well guess what they got for their money.

What I can't understand Fidel is why he would ship anything at all?

I thought about that too LRB. We really only have one postal service in germany. It´s called "Post". When you recieve a parcel from the Post you have to sign electronicly on a palm. Maybe this signing is completing a contract between the buyer and the guy who sells his stuff on ebay? I´m really not an expert in legal stuff like that but that´s the only explanation I can think of. The guy signs for recieving the package which completes the deal. How does he prove afterwards that there were stones in the package and no digital camera? He could be lying too.
