Hi, I have bought loads of items from German ebay ( mostly diecast models but some other stuff as well ) I have never had anything go missing and always found them to be polite and answer emails. There are a couple of downsides ~ the cost of postage is horrendous and hardly any of them accept Paypal. I have looked at hundreds of sets of smoked rear lights for my C and not one of the sellers accepts Paypal. Anyone else found this. Cheers.
