I don't blame people for wanting to know how it ends- all I was trying to say is, put away the pitchforks, it's possible the OP is still out a beautiful army And the payment.

I think damage is possible even on well packed international shipments. Add to that Paypal's bias to the buyer, and that's why I'd never sell something like this internationally.

Note: This isn't a transaction report or in the Swap Shop. Both of these posts are just my opinion. I also think that the buyer should have insured/gotten signature required on the return shipment, and it would simply be a failed sale. As it is, it could be much worse.

Also, I apologize if my prior post came off too strongly. Simply, I am saying we have no new information, so don't assume the OP got the army back (or anything about the buyer- again, apologies if I did so).

However, we are rightful to assume that if the buyer contacted us here in this very thread after sending back the army and asked for clarification from the seller ( which puts him in a better position than the seller who just went quiet ) that the buyer indeed has done everything he could to get the army back to the seller.

The fact that the seller is not forthcoming with any info and suddenly disappeared does not add credence to his story.

Also, do note that the thread is titled "Stolen army" which is a strong accusation that now just amounts to libel.

Real life work has delayed my posting. I apologize for that. I got the army from the post office last week and 2 trips across the seas has taken its toll on the damages.

As for the accusations, considering it took 4 months for the army to come back I assumed the worse and thought the army was stolen. This thread served its purpose and I got the army back which was the goal and thank you for the buyer for coming on and I have no ill will towards him.

This is a classic case miscommunication and misunderstanding.

I will also say that PayPal and eBay need to consolidate their resolution center because it had been an extremely frustrating experience trying to navigate a resolution center in German and talking to German reps.
