Hi Guys i know we have some german friends here that i have shipped chips to and they have shipped me chips as well. I bought a couple of chips from a seller on ebay, whome we all probly know, and i am not out to trash him or anything, but its been a month since i had payed him and still no chips to me yet. When i shipped out to germany using just regualr first class mail it usually take 7-10 days to get there and thats about how long the last ones i got from germany to get to me, but this transaction was done a month ago and i still havent got anything yet, I was charged $15 for shipping which i dont mind as long as i get the chips , but is there any way to track a package from there, i have mailed him a couple times and the first time i asked what the date was he shipped them out on and he replied with some broken english and a couple of pics that showed a package with my name on it like that was the package he shipped me, My next question is how did he get a pic of it, if it was already shipped , or is it common to take a pic of a parcel before shipping it? My next question is do you guys think i should file a non recieved goods complaint with paypal and ebay so i can at least get my money back? Any help is appreciated.

Maybe he took the picture at the post office. I don't remember if anybody from Germany ever sent me a picture like this, but some Chinese collectors and sellers did.

Here is the pic of the package, i cant trace it thru deutch mail without a shippoing date, and even tho i tried every day in the date fields it doesnt show up as anything. I erased the senders name because like i said i am not looking to trah him yet, i would just like to have some sort of answer as to where the package might be.

That isn't any proof. Where are stamps ? That picture is before shipping.

That picture shows the parcel definitive before shipping. No stamp, no postmark on it.

jupp, this is nothing.
No "Paket" or "Einschreiben" or "Wertbrief" what can be tracked.
$15 for this a bit overpriced.
Depending on the weight I pay 5.05 or 6.05 Euro for such a package tracked.

so that number below the UPC bars is not a tracking number at all? That explains why i couldnt do anything with it when i went to the Deutsche web site and tried to track it.
