That's very strange. eBay isn't the seller, and you shouldn't have to send it to their US headquarters.

Contacted Paypal via chat, they respond within seconds, they gave me a return address in Switzerland.

BTW Dave, opening the dispute I mentioned the "used" definition that you have cleverly spotted, and I overlooked. So I owe you.

Happy to help!

Switzerland is a lot better than having to send it to eBay's HQ.

After some back and forth with PayPal, I got a full refund on the back-bowed Klira. Wouldn't have happened without Dave's input. Thanks again mate.

Update on the Höfner inventory situation: won this Verithin for £600 (US$812) on eBay.

Non-original pickups, but so many of the original pickups don't make it without a rewind, and I really like toaster-tops, so for the price I'm okay with this. If I don't like them I can always get a pair of staple-top reissues, they are excellent pickups that sound exactly like the old ones.

Never had a Verithin before. Now the wait.

Acoustically, my 2½" deep 500/3 is way better than my 2" deep Senator, that extra half inch really makes a huge difference, so understandably I have low expectations from a 1¼" deep Verithin in that aspect. I'm curious how it will sound plugged in.
