eBuyer respond!

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

After sending a recorded delivery complaint to eBuyer some time last week they have emailed (stamps obviously cost too much) a response to me today. I still have a burning question left unanswered though; should I have had to go through this shit anyway?!
