Nope! seller never responded and ebay said too bad we will not reimburse. Over 4 months dicking around stalling. Finally I went to my bank and disputed the whole thing. Crazy...

Yeah, I avoid Italy for pretty much the same reasons. I sold two cameras to Italy on eBay, one never arrived, the second smashed to pieces (and the packaging was fine).
Luckily I sent them insured and could reimburse the buyers, but I was out two cameras...

Buying from Italy may not be so bad (depending on the seller of course), but their postal system needs some work..
