I purchased some items from USA. Being in the Netherlands, that means
transport via "EBAY International Shipping". For those who don't know,
items are sent to Ebay in IL, some admin done, then sent from Ebay to
the receiver.This second leg is done vi...
When selling to someone in Europe, EBAY says to use the "international
shipping center".Seller sends to EBAY in Illinois, EBAY does customs,

Before people say "this is an American forum" - if you are an American

this document. However, if I look at th...
Thank you for your insights that a mishap on the 2nd leg of the
transaction (from EIS to me) won't hurt the seller. I didn't know and,
as I explained before, I was cautious with the score of the seller,
especially since the incident happened through ...
Thank you for your response.It is true that you, as seller, can also
