Actually I am automatically blocked by many sellers on Ebay just because I do not live in the same country as the sellers and many sellers do not want to ship overseas because of difficulties in the past that have no connection with me or all of the other buyers who didn't have connections with them. It is a fact of buying on Ebay that I have to get used to.

Can I ask if you are the buyer that left the recent negative comments for Tim on Ebay? Until those, he had 100% rating from a large number of sales. While we are all aware of the limitations of Ebay feedback, the comments do give an indication that the vast majority of buyers are happy with the service they have received.
