EXCESSIVE POSTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all it is the bad taste left behind. Concerning the manuals, I just wanted them.

Concerning feedback it's not really my style to leave negative feedback (although in this case I will).

However keep In mind that these were 10 separate listings, therefore 10 eBay non paying warnings which can really block your account. But in my case this is no issue as I already had a phone discussion with the customer support and they will take care of it just in case.

As I also sell some B&O my self (but privately as it is not for business) I always try to support a s much as possible, usually ending up in paying more shipping cost than actually asked for!! And because I act this way I was hoping for the same as a buyer. Just this!!

Were these manuals not available here on Beoworld?

On the US bay there is a lot of high shipping costs, in April I bought a BM 4000 located in Washington state, I paid USD 12.00 for shipping to McAllen Texas 3,500 Km, but checking shipping prices on items like that, I offen see 40-50 USD and I back of. The sellers post the most expensive shipping price they can find, and then ships the cheapest way they find, on the other hand packing a BM secure, double boxed does give an additional cost, but as far as I know the bay has no regulation for this, except for, its sellers responsability that the goods arrive without damage.

But for dokuments arriving in a an envelope I dont see how Spiros can go wrong with his claim.

Dear Soren, Many thanks for your kind words. Concerning the question arose for the download of the manuals, I guess it is a matter of collection to have these in original form instead of printouts!!

I have done tens of thousands of dollars selling ebay items, including a *LOT* of B&O, and $40-50 USD charge for shipping on a BM 4000 would be very reasonable from Washington to Texas.  I also live in Washington state.  It's probably more than what they spent but not much. 

Still a BM4400 has a quite large packaging and is heavy as well. Now he opened unpaid item cases x 10!!!!!!!

It could be much

Ohhhhhhhhhh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
