I've just spent the last hour arguing and trying to fix the auction I put up this morning. Pete is selling a piece of his gear and our ebay ad clearly states US bidders only. A guy from France e-mailed me and then without waiting to hear what I said bought it. When I told him there were other people interested he just kept asking if I would ship to France. I spoke with Ebay and they told me I didn't have to sell to him if I didn't want to. Thanks @ss for messing up the original listing, I ended up having to re-list it with a new number, so the original people watching it think it's been bought. Then to top it all off his sent me a little note in french at the bottom of one of his messages. Nothing nasty, like I originally thought, but still what's up with that? Just more of the french arrogance coming through? I wrote back letting him know that it was a nice attempt to baffle me but I understood. For some reason I haven't heard back. And even if I didn't speak it who can't use Google Translator? Jerk!
