As I understand it, George or the buyer elected to use eBay's shipping 
"services" and they refused to send it on. They allowed the buyer's money to 
go to George, but since they refused to send the unit on to the seller, they 
refunded his money.

If this is what happened, it is really, really stupid, but what can you expect 
from eBay? Those b******s are a bunch of socialists who want to 
"redistrubute" the wealth.

My sister had a serious run-in with them over something similar. That was 
never resolved either.

Whenever I have shipped such stuff, I always called it Old Radio Parts: after 
reading what Robert mentioned, I think that from now on I'll leave out the 
word "Radio".

Sometime ago, I sold, via eBay, one of those "football" DF loop antennas to 
a fellow in Poland who was involved with restoring a B-24, manned by an 
all-Polish crew, which crashed during WWII. The only way the thing got to 
Poland in one piece was that the Polish Ambassador to the U.S. in 
Washington D.C. contacted me directly and took it home in his diplomatic 
luggage. He then gave me a very nice autographed book on the Polish pilots 
of WWII entitled, "A Question of Honor".
