But good luck hope you get a helpful representative , take GreenBean's advice always top notch | this is true. it is especially true of italy sales. one sale to italy, they said they did not receive it and it was tracked to their door. took 3 mos for tracking to prove it via usps. by then, they had the item and the money from chargeback.
or, they buy and after you say you sent it, they file a claim and win.
i know that happens domestically US, too - buy and say its not the right size - and the seller gets a chargeback - but there should be some consideration given for shipping times and return times for oveseas.
granted, the smartest thing to do is not sell out of country for that very reason.
however, the german items are often have so much character, especially old snapshots. so buying from there is always fun. i think german buyers should have the same option, but it's not worth it on higher priced items.
and, i've been "told" to invoice the contents at less and i won't do that. they try to get you to say you shipped a dishonest invoice and if you don't say that, they say they won't pay the customs and file a claim. they always win, too and the items arrives and you never see it again and you get billed by PP.
