A big request or...not you be the judge. I have won a machine Ebay Italy . The seller is considering turning my bid down because I am not in Italy??( the only other bidders I was up against were from NZ. I don't know what he reasons are ( free translations are not perfect). Does anybody have a family member / friend there that could be up for being the ship to address and then ship the package on to me? I could pay them in advance and something for their trouble..

Thanks for your ears and thoughts. reply here or to me personally

Thanks

Greg Moore


P.S.


Here she is , if I can ever get my new bride home( the cremina is going to be a little jealous):

Well, if I had a friend in Italia I'd just have him ship it to me instead! :twisted:

I've been watching those Caravels go by on Ebay myself, and have often considered bidding. We're all looking forward to hearing your review when you get it.

Not to be a judge, but doesn't ebay state that one should not bid on items where the seller does not quote that he/she is willing to deliver to your country of residence? I also assume there may be a language barrier involved.

My mother lives in Rome and I'll be there for a couple of days in two weeks' time plus I'll be further up North in Tuscany from June 10th for three weeks. I could try and help you out if this is still a going concern. Drop me an email...

You may be correct on the Ebay instructions.. I'm a rule follower and questioner by nature- a sometimes paradoxical combination. When I say that no-one was bidding on this Caravel except a Kiwi and myself- I took it upon myself to ask the buyer. He said he just didn't want to hassle with out of country stuff. So....... I did find a neighbor with daughters in Venice, problem solved. Thank you for your consideration
