Welcome to RC10Talk.
Don't worry about your English, most of us are natives and can't speak it too well.

Re: Newbie from Italy
Hello and welcome, unfortunately al ot of ebayers and forum sellers seem to ahve major problems with the Italian postal service, and items never reaching their destinations, If paypal can't track as with this service, they refund the seller no matter what, and thsoe 2 things combined put a lot of people off I am afraid.

Re: Newbie from Italy
A Venetian! Welcome to the site. I love Italy, I was lucky enough to visit your city when I was a student in 1997. I've been back to Italy twice since, but haven't made it back up to Venice. Are you still flooded?
The Italian postal service is horrible. That's putting it mildly. When I was a student there it took about 3 weeks for a post card to get to my family in Iowa.toykilla wrote:Do you know why ebayers won't ship to italy? Just a questions since I see that in alot of auctions

What the heck kind of Enrish is that? The only Milano we know around here is named Melissa, and she sure as heck isn't from your neck of the woodsjeekelemental wrote: An example: this summer I've buyed a Tamiya Subaru Brat re-re in Uk:

I'm kidding, of course! Glad you saw the humor in the previous posts, as it was meant to be. (this post too, btw ... )

Re: Newbie from Italy
I'm actually curious - for curiosity's sake - if you speak English, (Americanese, if you prefer ) or do you use a translator.
If you speak the language you've probably got a good handle on our idioms, if you use a translator, then I'll have to be more precise in my verbiage.
Regardless, we welcome all parts of the world into our little home. Even those darned Canadians ...

Re: Newbie from Italy
Ciao Halgar!
Sometimes is difficult for me to understand some words (and I use a translator or I ask to my girlfriend) or some expressions (and I use intuition or).
I speak something that I like to think as English and I use the translator only for the words I don’t know or I forgot.Halgar wrote:I'm actually curious - for curiosity's sake - if you speak English, (Americanese, if you prefer ) or do you use a translator.

Re: Newbie from Italy
What can I say, I posted that at 2am, and I probably had a couple too many adult type beverages. I had a V-8 moment just now when I saw my post - Uh, yeah, Alyssa ...

Just goes to show that jeekelemental speaks better Engrish than I do (or I speak Italian and don't know it ), because he knew what I meant.
