Hi, I am located in the US, and I found an item (for my E30) on Ebay UK that i would like to purchase. The only problem is that the seller won't ship AT ALL. So, I am looking for someone trustworthy to pick this item up from the lazy seller and ship it to me. Apparently, the seller lives: 10 minutes from Junction 11 or 12 of the M6. If anyone on here can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Send me a message and we can figure out the details. thanks!

PS, I am not a spammer or scammer, just looking for a little help!

Seller states in his ad that he will not ship at all, to ANYWHERE. That, in my book, is lazy. I do understand that there is additional work in shipping overseas, and I don't expect every person to be willing to do this. But I am looking for someone that IS willing.

This is the item:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/E30-325i-Door-Car ... 240%3A1318

I know that this will be expensive to ship (I'm thinking around $100 USD) but that is ok with me, as these don't ever pop up in the States.

They're my door cards - most stuff I sell on Ebay I am happy to post worldwide, however I draw the line at heavy/bulky items due to bad experiences in the past both buying and selling. I've bought stuff from overseas which either hasn't arrived at all or has arrived poorly packaged and damaged, and also sent bigger stuff overseas very well packed and still had it arrive damaged and has cost me money. International carriers just don't seem to give a toss about how they handle packages - if anything if its well packed they seem to think that means they can throw it about even more. Thats in addition to the hassle involved in finding suitable packaging to post something that size overseas. As far as I was aware this item was only listed on Ebay UK and clearly states collection only - if you can't collect don't bid - simple !

As for being lazy and not being prepared to ship anywhere - 18 of the 21 items I'm currently selling I am quite happy to ship ANYWHERE in the world.

And that's pretty much the point of this thread. I am trying to find someone who can collect, and then ship these to me.

I happen to know that you have listed these on Ebay UK multiple times and they have not sold. If you ever get tired of looking at them sitting around wasting space, and tired of relisting them over and over, and want to ship them to me, send me a PM and we can figure something out.
