Hi all,

I have had contact with Giftsix just recently (writing via ebay) and had to wait quite long for the answer.I got a detailed answer to my questions plus the comment...due to the earthquake in the aerea there are computer problems...
There was also a report on German TV saying it will take about three weeks to fix the computer/internet problems.
I had a look to the Giftsix feedback ,too and must say it´s looking good to me.Selling on ebay myself all around the world I have had my experiences with silly buyers from all kind of countries, not checking their email account,not answering at all, not reading auction texts,not knowing about international money transfer.I´m sorry to say this, but so far I had zero problems with buyers from Asia or South America but lots of problems with chaps from Europe or from the US.Sometimes I had to ask myself do these people really know what business is or is it so much different there?
If you expect a seller to have a positive feedback of 99% or better you must live in dreamland,try it yourself before you critisise. I know there are bad guys in Asia selling on ebay but there are others,too.
The 35mm lens deal seems to be a victim of the earthquake, try to contact Giftsix again.

Cheers,Jo
