The whole point is that when on the couple of occasions I have messed up, I have taken the loss and posted the item.  My fault, my problem.  🙂 

I don't see why people feel the need to have digs at those who choose to buy from overseas or bang on about supporting/buying Aussie. If an Aussie has an item I am after at a price I can afford I will 'support' them but I am more than happy to continue shopping around and if that includes overseas purchases so be it.

Let's be realistic. If it is NOT cool to buy from overseas, then it is also not cool to go on holidays overseas and certainly not cool to use that pen, clothing, computer, gadget, bedding etc that originated overseas. Oh and should we send all the migrants back too???

So true cheezy, how many people here can take a good look around their house, in their cupboards, shed and so on and say that at least 80% of it is imported from other countries! Yes you may have bought it here, but the seller purchased overseas and put a good mark up on it. If the items were comparable with prices here then people would not bother purchasing overseas. I'll buy here if the price is comparable if not overseas it is, more change for me to purchase something else I may need. Cheers

ps, Australian point of view.

pss. As Australians aren't we all of immigrant background? ]:)

I am curious as well! How does eBay justify continuing to let a seller who has 1,373 Neutral feedback hits and 1,315 NEGATIVE feedbacks in 12 months, continue to sell on eBay? Anyone got a clue? Am I missing something here?!!!

Percentage.

I'll guess their positives and in the tens, or probably, hundreds of thousands.
