I'm not surprised in the least that you're having this kind of trouble. I've heard from more than one chipper in the Deep South chapter who say they won't even do business with him in person, let alone through the boards or eBay - where another collector left negative feedback for his highly questionable shipping and handling gouging.

I just can't figure it out, so I'm left to draw my own conclusions - and they ain't pretty.

Best,
