So recently Ive been making some purchases on Ebay Germany, but the folks on the other side of the water aren't being too kind.
I made a mistake of purchasing from a guy who did not accept paypal payments. Anyways he asked the money to be sent via bank wire. I knew the fees were very high for international transfer fees, but this dude insisted. After sending the money, he said he only received about 80% of the payment. ...Duh you idiot, there is a huge bank fee.
After waiting a few weeks, I couldnt wait any longer, so i opened the case. Ideal thing to do wouldve been to call ebay, but I dont speak german and never made a int'l call. I ran all of the sellers responses on Google translator, and it was just all excuses followed by few "pig" and "shit"...Nice fella. After making some comments about the situation, this is what ebay germany says:
:hitler::hitler::hitler::hitler::hitler::hitler: They closed the case and now its time for me to enjoy the product I never received.
Few weeks later, I made another purchase from a different german seller. The product arrived this time (thank god!) but the product was wrongly described, and half of the parts are crap.
I contact the seller when he sends me the usual "hey why you no leave me positive feedback!" I tell him the item does not fit, and something needs to be done. We agreed on a $10 partial return (far less than replacement part) if I leave him a positive feedback. I do so right away, and about a month later, still no word from the seller.
This is the only 2 transactions Ive made with the germans, and both have become a nightmare! Its not like they weren't aware I was in the US, as Ive asked permission before making the purchases.

Even though you receive the items, but then stated that the article may substantially differ from the seller's description. You have already opened another case for clarification of the problem with the seller.
