German speaker to act as go-between?

[mightymouse]

I have ordered a Spektrum dx6 off ebay, good news.

Bad news, the guy is austrian. He does not take paypal, he wants a money transfer. I have contacted him to ask for his bank details and the reply was in german. I ran this thro babel and it said I had to go to a link on his e-mail, which I did. This linked me to ebay austria - in german - but the sign in page is the same, but my username and password are not valid. I e-mailed again but got the same reply. I spelled out the problem and ran that thro babel - into german - I have yet to recieve a reply.

I contacted ebay and they said that they would send the austrian my contact details - Doggghhh - it seems they cannot understand english either.

Is there anyone who can perhaps act as a go-between for me? hopefully I will not need anyone.

PS he has 19 sets for sale - not surprising when you see how hard he makes it to pay for them.

Leo, or Babs can help you.

This sounds like a scam to me. Be careful.

Watch out for UK Bank charges... If you go ahead ...they can be very high for IBAN / BIC payments.

Hmm what he states about switching mode 2 to mode 1 is actually incorrect. Not that it matters much for roboteers but the mixing would be wrong if you would do as he says.

There always seems to be a selection on the BMFA.

MODE 2 is I believe the Roboteers prefered option.

[leorcc]

Mode 2 (throttle on the left up-down, self centering springs on the right stick) is by far the preferred option worldwide. Although some heli flyers prefer Mode 1 (throttle on the right) but I would probably crash in 2 seconds if I tried that.

If you get a response like that like Kane says be carefull it might be a scam (phishing attempt).
