Noel,
I thought you might want to be aware that your auctions are being discussed at thechipboard.com. The consensus opinion there is that they are misleading. Just an FYI.
Here's the thread so far in a nutshell:

HERE IS WHAT THE GUY SAYS.. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AGAINST THE RULES.. = Your choice of any ONE chip listed in this photo of the Borland Commemorative collection = LINK =

Nice one... I agree. Worse than that, IMHO, is the $10.00 UPS Ground shipping to Canada. If he/she sent it US Air Mail it would only cost him a buck.
=================================================================
I saw that when he listed. He has two auctions running like it. Someone is not going to read it properly and get caught.

This is why I would never sell Chips on eBay. If I did I would have somebody find it and pick it apart by the way I worded it or how much I charged for postage or how I said it
What Rules? Ebay (had no idea they had a rule like this). You can't Post a picture of a bunch of chips and say "Choose One" when you Won the Auction. I think they explained that ok. At least I got that right in my mind. If I WON I get to choose which one I want. Gee that was simple.
Priority Mail is now $4.05 any where in the USA. To Canada I think it would have to be taken up with the seller before the auction if you won (how much it cost). If it was $10 I would tell him to "Shove it". I would think any place outside North America it would cost the $10.00. It cost me $6.00 to ship lottery tickets to China and that will take 4-6 weeks by Air-letter post.
My opinion. Now inform me more with how it should read.
