BAD seller on ebay, rips me off for Weird Tapes #3 & #6

[William Duffy]

Hi there

I also won bids for 3 of the Weird Tapes from him as well. It was also in
February (not the same ones), I only received them last week (I'm in
Australia). He may have actually posted yours but sent it surface mail
(which is what happened with mine, even though I paid for air mail!).
I found it very difficult getting a reply from him, but eventually
discovered he had changed email addresses. I had tried posting negative
feedback about him, but couldn't get it to work.

So the moral of the story is, you may still get it, but not by the postal
service you paid the money for.

William
