you have no idea how long a sigh of relief i just did!
anyway, i'm so happy for you. as an (former) ebay seller/buyer, i totally understand where you're coming from. it's really all about mutual trust and cooperation. i guess this is what the society is lacking these days.
i'm so glad for you! yay! i didn't report to the police because i made no bank transfers (didn't think it was safe, i always preferred payp*l so we have black and white evidence) but on payp*l, i had to go through a dispute (took about 2 - 3 weeks to settle) to get my moolah back cause the seller went unregistered (but not on payp*l, so thank goodness!) and i didn't receive my item as expected! yikes! thank god we came through safe and sound!
xoxo, C
