Francesco,
I am just tired of losing my money. I work hard to
acquire my meteorites, and doing hundreds of ebay
auctions a month is a full-time job. To see 40 or 50%
of items I send to Italy continually vanish is just no
longer acceptable. I do not know or care where the
problem it, but it is clearly on the Italian side. I
am not the only one with the problem, it has been
ongoing for years. I am simply no longer willing to
throw my meteorites and money away by risking shipment
to Italy if the meteorites are paid for via paypal.
