Wow Terry, that's highly unusual. What did the seller have to say? "Sorry it
must have been lost in the post, but hey that's not my fault?" He should take it
up with the postal carrier then. There's an old saying - The Customer Comes
First. eBay has a $200 or $500 guarantee don't they? Or maybe that was a PayPal
guarantee? Read the fine print, hopefully you're not out anything.
Every purchase I've made on eBay has been excellent so far. Even bought a
motorcycle last year, [paid with a banker's cheque for that one.] Did you use
PayPal? Not that it mattered I guess. I've even bought things from Taiwan twice,
no problems. In fact, it only took about two extra days to ship from Taiwan, and
the prices were lower.
