Thats so frustrating.. I hate that.
I've had ot deal with people like him on eBay before and its a no win situation generally, thats why i try to stay clear of it these days.
Look on the positive side of things though. Based on how he has acted so far with the sale, and how much of a idiot he appears to be, you're probably lucky not to have goen through with the sale. As i bet it wouldnt be as he advertised, or he would of still sent the thing to Austria and you would of probably never got it.. haha
Think of it as a blessing in disguise.. Still frustrating you cant meet him face to face and tell him off though.
Well thats how i feel in these situations anyway, haha
