Hmm. I once bought an oscilloscope from a guy in the US for $400. It never arrived and no money back. Did not stop me buying from the US though. If you stop buying from country X because somebody living in country X has cheated on you, eventually there are no places to buy from, including your own Cheers, Frank

I had tome NE3 bulbs take 90 days from Russian, I gave up and demanded my refund after 25 days. I was lucky. They eventually arrived and they were all used and abused, Far from the NOS bulbs I bought. I refuse to buy from Russia now. I stick to Ukraine and Bulgaria. Or my preferred Hungary or Romania/Moldova Shame ebay is not wiling to do any thing, Confused and mad is the only things that comes to my mind! I bought 2 OG4 dekatrons, If they arrive and work I will throw you one, As I have use for only 1. Take care.

The transaction was for four (4) OG-3 dekatrons for $40.35, shipping included. I had previous Russian transactions take over a month, but this one never showed. So I filed a case with eBay and guess what -- they guarantee nothing after 30 days (my bad for not realizing that). Then after 60 days they clean the purchase list so you cannot even post negative feedback. And the idiots on the help line are...well, helpless top do anything. I asked them to place that purchase back on the purchase list for negative feedback and "Oh, we cannot do anything about that." I had opened a case (which was when I found out eBay wasn't liable for anything), and the seller responded to eBay and said she (he) would refund the amount to Paypal since "it must be lost in the mail". No response to my email...nothing. And eBay won't do a thing either. Here is the information I gathered on this individual: Seller Name: fruwlo who shows on my Paypal account as Bashkevich Irina (I suspect the first name is Irina) Email address: [email protected]. PAYPAL Name: *IRVI85" Item #: 271273419962 Location: Central, Russian Federation So another "buyer beware" for Russia (and for eBay). I'm out $40.35 now (at least it wasn't for a large sum). Probably no orders from Russia ever again. Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
