I have not been refunded...
I have been refunded.
I am sorry that this what can only be seen as a kind deed, went sour.
In the interest of future conflict avoidance, I offer this summary and my POV.
Frankly, I don't think the deal needed to fail at all:

It's yours for the postage.
Let me know your zip and I'll see what it will cost.
Ok, well I was slow in responding, it is true, but by days not weeks,
and from the first PM till shipping was sent just 7 days passed.
Since the giver stated there was no big hurry,
"No big hurry if your still figuring out were you want it sent,
just wanted find out whats happening."
I felt there was no need to hurry.
I usually never have any trouble when there is no anxiety or "rush" involved,
but I must observe that on more than would seem normal,
I have had people back out mid-stream!
This is perplexing to me.
I do not see 1 week as abnormal, in normal friendly deals.
The best I can surmise is that
some people feel uncomfortable dealing with people overseas.
I sent a package to New Mexico today and filled out a customs post-it.
It really was not a big deal.
Perhaps it is more troublesome stateside - I don't know.
I really feel badly that this deal went sour!
This is a wonderful thread and, being a second class "member",
I feel it especially important that members work hard not to do anything
that would endanger their status/privliages.
Well anyway,
Sorry to rtbadman - for whatever stress I caused you
and Thanks to everyone - for letting me vent!
Time for a cool drink!
:munch:
