eBay Deutschland payments

[Steve Sears]

Lee,
I haven't had that experience at all - I've made quite a few eBay.de deals 
and they've always arrived in good condition, even the eurolights for my DKW 
arrived in pristine shape.  I guess it may be the folks we're dealing with 
(people selling fairly new stuff versus those selling vintage items).  I did 
have one box arrive that was ripped open and bandaged back up with Canada 
Customs tape - the letter from CC inside said that they were releasing the 
DKW hubcaps to me, but were confiscating the 355 mL can of Falken Haus 
beer............
BTW, as a data point, I've used currency in envelope for all of my dealings 
with Germany, all of the purchases were less than 100 bucks.  The local 
Continental Currency Exchange has rates better than the bank.
Cheers!
