Hi all from Venice!
I'm new on the board but not in the hobby .


p. s. : sorry for bad english

Welcome to RC10Talk.

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

Do you know why ebayers won't ship to italy? Just a questions since I see that in alot of auctions

Welcome jeekelemental,Like Halgar said, Don't worry about your English.

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.

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.

The simply truth is that our postal service it's a calamity not a service

An example: this summer I've buyed a Tamiya Subaru Brat re-re in Uk:
2 days from Uk to Milano (via Germany)
A week from Milano to my home.

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 woods

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

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 ...

Ciao Halgar!

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.
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 emailed to Santa Claus that today you have been good with me

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 ... Hey, I was close!

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.
