I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, Brian, it was quite fun because they
were so obviously completely in the wrong.
After all, it was only NZ$10 at stake.
Oh, and a PRINCIPLE!

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with them. They do seem to be rather
naïve when it comes to dealing with people outside NZ/Aust. I wonder if they
have fears about or are trying to discourage people from using eBay.
I have no fears about Trademe; this week I have bought 5 very nice books
about roses through them, each virtually for a song and much cheaper than I
could have got them through www.bookfinder.com which I also use. I have done
about 140 deals one way or another there. I have also used ebay in the past,
but probably not much again as (believe it or not) I don't want much of what
they offer.
