Help!! Fellow LMWDP ers- anybody have a friend in Italy?

[mogogear]

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

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

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
