Not to UPS! Actually, remembering back now, *my* shipment was
prepaid by the seller, too! That's the other reason why I was so p*ssed
off about the brokerage fee. And, when I complained, the lady at UPS
just said, "Don't pay the brokerage fee.... we'll just sell your $100
camera and give you what's leftover!"

I *do* hope it works out for you! Sounds like the seller is honest and
will make it right? Hopefully so! At least *you* didn't get a lecture
about how L**c*/N*k*n owners have "discerning eyes," and Olympus
owners are idiots for being picky about fungus-farm lenses!
