Buying from an overseas eBay seller
adavisus wrote: Lenses sold across borders will be the same
International shipping can be horribly slow, which is a terrible mess for the seller, having buyers rip off the item, rip off a refund and leave negative feedback.
Which can easily wreck a sellers dsr rating, get them (and their household) kicked off ebay permanently. That's just how bad ebay is these days, never mind crooked feedback ratings, high fees, lowball sellers, high levels of fraud and counterfeit sellers.
Good luck, hope it turns out ok.
I'd sooner use ebid, bonanza, webstore, straightforward no fuss listing websites, which are what ebay used to be like before it became a hostile environment to sellers. Those dsr ratings are just a naaaaasty way to churn and burn small sellers
High feedback ratings on ebay are false and misleading as big sellers get the option of canceling negs, small sellers don't, sellers can use multiple identities, folk with negs are probably targets of dishonest and malicious feedback. Utterly arbitrary, ebay feedback ratings.
Amazon is woooonderful, btw
