I won and paid for a Caravel this week and I see he's listed it again. I feel a little uneasy about it. Does anyone have any experience with this seller?
Thanks,
Sam.

Have you contacted him already?
Also, i presume you've paid via Paypal, and then you've got buyer protection.

Weird.....I noticed that Orange Caravel show up again but I thought it was like the "new" one with free shipping a while back that sold a couple of times. Then I assumed I was confused but it is a pretty distinctive sideways Caravel picture. Hard saying about most European ebay sellers. We have never had a big problem, just ever changing shipping costs and such, and it can be hard to keep track of a particular seller since due to the tax laws they have a tendency to sell for a while and then change their name with a new identity, but you can usually tell by the pictures if it is the same seller.
I was getting pretty excited about that sideways orange Caravel but then again, if it is your sideways orange Caravel then we may have to tamp back our enthusiasm.....wait a second, is this a trick to get us not to bid????

The seller says he ships only to Italy....was this you understanding? Barb says the seller may have refunded and the money is sitting in Paypal limbo somewhere. Seems like there is a little problem with that Caravel somewhere along the line.

I think I have seen that one sell twice already- and it is listed again right now...

is the seller answering emails? If not after a week or so I would put in the paypal claim... assuming you paid by paypal...good luck.

I don't see that one listed. When I bought mine the seller also noted shipping to Italy, but he was willing to ship to the US after I asked.

OK update. I have received a reply and he said he hadn't noticed my payment and email. Hmm. He now says he's going to ship it to me and I see that he has withdrawn the auction. He requested my phone number for the parcel so maybe that's a good sign. I know his auction said shipping to Italy but he agreed to ship it here.
Hey Jack, are you sure it was this one you saw sell before or was it the "Free Shipping" one I watched sell 3 times. I did pay by paypal so I'll start reading up on that in case. Grrr. I'm really starting to wonder if I'm ever supposed to have a working Caravel.

I've really been wanting to pick up a Caravel. I don't use steam really, and they seem a good build quality.

Does anyone know anything about the seller that's up right now? ilvecchiocheavanza with an orange Caravel. He only ships to Italy as well and states it multiple times in the auction.

How would you react if someone from Israel won your auction in which you stated numerous times that you wouldn't ship outside of Italy?

Haha, wow...lot of assumptions in that statement. I have a friend in Italy, and auction I mentioned doesn't look like the same one mentioned here.

But I had posted more to ask about eBay italy sellers and other people's experiences with them. I know many people have bought from there from sellers that do ship international.

There is always buyer feedback. As a rule, steer clear of anyone with a feedback below 99% for high volume sellers (200+ sales). But the seller you were referring to has a 100% feedback, so i don't think you can go wrong with that. He does however not allow paypal payments, which adds risk.

Also, i made just one assumption. The assumption that "i want to buy" means "i want to have shipped by the seller to the place were i live". Which isn't a far fetched assumption by any means.
