Many thanks digitalghost. That was a great exposition of the issues, and you've helped solidify a few things that were whirling uncertainly in my brain.

You are one great resource. I wIsh they'd hire you to write the help & info section.

Kopenhagen, how funny.... I'll keep an eye out for a Danish windsurfer. In fact if I see anyone windsurfing in this weather I'm just going to assume it's you. 

He'll probably be wearing a Hachimaki, so should be easy to spot ....................

Thank you 🙂 

To be honest, though, they (probably) couldn't pay me enough to have to say "I do", when someone says "you must work for eBay". 😄 

A little update on this:

After only a little faffing around, AP actually mailed me a money order covering both item & postage cost. Faintly stunned I was! I wonder how many 'discrentionary' payments like this they're prepared to do? One a year, etc? Interesting!

Still not heard a word from the buyer, but refunded their original payment and sent another message as to why, to be done with it. Strange that they seem to've been quite active in their buying yet haven't noticed/cared what happened to this purchase. Nice for some I guess! Ah well, at least they got their money back for a genuine AP-fauIt INR, whether they notice or not 🙂

Excellent outcome.
