Wel condisering how many peopel have been ripped off on eBay this is no surprise. they are protecting themselves. Recently I bought a replica of the Man From Unvle gun. and waited three month for it to get here. The problem was due to the fat that the seller had made a change to a gas powered airsoft pistol from a spring powered one and that cause delays in making it look right. That meant new parts needed to be made for the grips and thus the wait.
In the mean time I didn't get anyword of this till two months later after the sale when I asked where was my stuff. I was real close to puting in Negative comments nad gettingeBay to get my money back. The good thing was I got and answer and my item by talking to the seller and everyone was happy. However there are many that get ripped off especailly on overseas sales.
