No reason to be going back and forth with this guys. Especially in the thread, as all it will get you is a warning from the mods. I would PM Azumangaman if you haven't already. Sounds as if he has been busy, but I hope that wouldn't keep him from a quick PM response at worst.
As for international shipping, I can empathize with him as I most shipping does not have tracking, so all I can do is say that I shipped it and hope it arrives on time.
If you want a good example of the postal service almost screwing me over and, therefore, screwing over the buyer, talk to Aegith. More than once he got something from me that usually arrives within 2 weeks and it took over a month. Post mark proved it. Sometimes things randomly get stuck... I don't know why.
As for the seller rules in the lowball, all of the sellers were expected to conduct themselves the way any good trader would, that's why there was a feedback limit in order to participate. The bad news is, feedback is not 100% reliable. For example, if tlp won something from me and I said hey tlp, I have no money for shipping, can you wait a little while? and then shipped a month later, is that a little while? I'm thinking no, but will tlp leave me a negative or a neutral?
You bet your ass he would!
I mean, probably not, as we know each other. Sometimes feedback numbers alone don't tell the whole story so, the best I can say is to take note of who you had positive and negative experiences with and take that into consideration in the future.
Sorry I can't do any better than that, but I do my best to pick good sellers to participate.
EDIT: Seems I was typing a response while everyone else was. LOL
