At last for me.
I ordered a few hundred dollars of merchandise, from all around the globe (ok, USA and Hong Kong) right in the middle of the holidays, including my first eBay purchase. Yes, I’m not longer a virgin! oohrrah!
Only one seller replied with a shipping confirmation. Unfortunately, the cheapest and less useful (and desirable) item. I’ll not mention it, don’t want to hurt the seller’s feelings.
Now, let’s see if the Old Ninja Trick of ordering small packages and low-priced things work as a tax-avoidance maneuver. I really don’t want to pay taxes over some chinese crap, even if that chinese crap IS highly desirable.
Oh, no. My orders do not include a chinese bride. I think it’s very tempting, but I don’t speak chinese, the girls most likely will not speak portuguese. What would we do, if we can’t talk about our feelings and discuss our relationship all the time?? :):):):)
OK, chinese brides are expensive, that’s the real reason.
