Well unfortunately, I've had to remain out of this GB due to the fact that.......... 1) Even more than before, I now refuse to use Paypal (more about that further on) and 2) although I could have imposed upon other Aust., GB participants, I felt it may not be fair to them, especially if the inclusion of items I was interested in put their total costs over the Aust., import duty limits.
Ebay Australia have recently announced that as of June this year, the only acceptable methods of payment will be either Paypal or "pay on pick up"..........cheques, money orders, COD, etc., etc., will not be acceptable forms of payment for Ebay auctions in Aust., (watch out you o/seas guys, it may be heading your way)............by doing this, Ebay, as "owners" of Paypal, are looking to further increase their already burgeoning profits to the detriment of the sellers and buyers that have placed them in the position they are currently in.
Chance, it's too late for the current GB, but I would urge you to consider alternative methods of payment should there be future GBs.
Cheers to all and enjoy your new gear, I just regret that on principle I could not participate.
