that ebay listing wrote:Pickup is Possible If pickup is not suitable payment can be made by bank deposit and I will ship. I wont accept any other methood of payment. I dont want to ship this itm outside of Australia

With a feedback rating of 5 I reckon he could jam that deal up his arse.

mind you, that's only $150 more than my 350D cost me.... so

indeed

I was using an antique point and shot camera with film for the last few days. I got to the end of the film and wasn't sure if the camera had wound it back inside the case. It hadn't

Opened the back and lost all the pics.

Damnation. That kind of thing hasn't happened to me since I was a littley and Dad gave me my first SLR (with a separate light meter!)

Been keeping and eye on the feedback since it ended.

"Paid $ 1,145 by direct credit.. item not received, unable to make contact

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 12:30 pm

whoever paid that is a tosser.....

I would NEVER accept those terms.... for items of $400 and over from sellers with less than 50 feedback score escrowaustralia.com.au or STFU, for sellers over 50 rated paypal is fine. bank transfer no way hose

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 12:32 pm

I thought Paypal offered up to $3k protection if you buy it through paypal bank transfer??

Jinx · Post by **Jinx** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 12:34 pm

Yeah for something like that you would be stupid to not use escrow.

mixtress wrote:I thought Paypal offered up to $3k protection if you buy it through paypal bank transfer??

only if the seller has a feedback rating of 50 or more, then it's only $400

bank transfer is NOT covered at all, ebay esspressly states in the terms and conditions that it does not condone direct bank transfer, western union, money gram or any other non-secure payment method.

I used escrow for my 350D and it worked a treat

That lumix is looking like a very strong contender, simple, cheap, good....

Didnt sell on ebay for what I was asking

So I'll go one lower here before putting it on ebay again. Will take $1000, selling due to going on round the world trip in 5weeks.

sooooo worth it....

the pentax K100d is reportedly very good.... you can get them for around $680

backwards compatible with most pentax lenses too.

Post by **fooishbar** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 7:01 pm

and yeah, the 400d is a mad camera, and the deal is mad cheap. you're insane if you don't take it, and you'll be kicking yourself for years afterwards.

Depends on how funds work out at the last minute. I have long service leave owing but because im only young and its only on a part time basis I really have no idea what to expect. Could be an upgrade to a 40D or 5D with a 16-35mm 2.8 II or could be a cheap point and shoot so I can afford to do everything I want while I'm away
