I saw this listing at the weekend and couldn't stop laughing at the state of the 'original' base rivets!!! Never mind the base colour :lol: :lol:

Probably because a lot of German buyers refuse to use PayPal for some odd reason, preferring expensive bank transfers :?

Well it sold pretty quickly in the end. I've sold many things to German buyers without a problem using Paypal. I really don't know why some sellers exclude Germany, how big is the problem?

I seldom buy in GB due to the horrendous shipping costs. I can send this book to you for 3,70 Euro, but this seller asks more than three times this sum! I guess, he is tired of answering questions about this ridiculous costs.

As i have two ebay shops, i´m forced to offer paypal, but i hate it! As i mostly sell out of the EU, they bite 5.2 % of the sale. We got 19% VAT, 10% eGay fee and 5.2% Paypal, which means 34,2 % of an asking price is gone before it comes to me.

Bank transfers are mostly free in Germany, so that may be a reason, why we prefer that.
