    That is quite possibly one of the most messed up cases I've ever seen. I guess the seller feels like he's a character in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern...Are Dead, and doesn't want to keep getting heads (in this case, tails)

    The seller clearly stated in the item description that he will not ship to the U.K. yet the bidder completely ignored them and wasted the seller's time and money. The high bidder was wrong and deserves the negative that he received.

    The whole damned auction was a waste of time... how many US and Cdns are going to be able to USE a PAL SNES anyway?

    :/

    Agreed, although judging by the seller's previous feedback, he's also an almighty prick who everyone is probably best off steering well clear of.

    Just how many US or Canadian buyers are going to want to pay £45 (~$85) shipping to play bordered 50Hz games anyway? (assuming they have a PAL-compatible monitor?)

    Just a thought here. Did you ever think that the dude was going to drive to the person's house and pick up the SNES?

    if the seller really didn't want to sell to the UK, why list on the UK site?? List it on ebay.com, select not to ship to the UK, and select the option that bars people from bidding if they are not from the specified countries that you ship to!!

    Sure, the bidder didn't read the auction, or else thought that he was above the stipulations .. as such he should have at least expected the possiblity of a negative feedback.

    But the seller is an idiot. x_x

    Wow! That's some scarily consistent negative feedback! I have to admit to ahving a couple of negatives myself from arsehole sellers but anyone with that many isn't just unlucky in my book...

    Although, I have to say, the UK 'winner' was a bit of a twit to have bidded.
