    Never let facts get in the way of your arguement do you? Don't have a go at me for pointing out that you are unhelpfully guessing! I'm sorry you find concept of knowing the facts before making judgements to so difficult to comprehend.

    Fortunatly I don't have the time (or inclination) to rack up 7000 odd posts inflicting my opinions on others.

    OP got their money back, no need for getting upset, as I said originally.

    Feel free to have the last word if it makes you feel better.

    The OP does not seem to need anymore 'help'.

    I have no further comments to add.

    Ps I know a good cure for ulcers ;)

    After how much time and effort? Depending on your earning potential, that's quite a potential loss.

    Putting the seller ID on here would be very foolish as I'm sure the last thing the OP wants is to id her self and also let the seller know the story has been recounted on here.

    I can't imagine the 'brother' bothering to go down the the post office and pay to send an item recorded delivery for a prank, can you?

    Total Scam - hope you do leave a negative!

    What would have happened if the "seller" had posted the single piece of lego in an appropriate size box for the listing, padded out with packaging to make up weight and correct postage for the item as described? Would a buyer still be able to defend themselves against that, please?
