McDuck 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 Hey Dan, I can assist with translating a few things over there in the Fatherland... am more than happy to help with correspondence for items purchased. Are you after assistance with setting up an ebay account through the German site, or a bank account there? The latter option will be quite bureaucratic, to say the least... it's hard enough dealing with my existing German bank account from afar! (they are incapable of comprehending that a NZ student ID card is valid for the whole year and different to their system, so keep charging me fees! Always takes alot of time and paper work to sort out). I'm warning you here! Am perusing ebay.de at the moment and am using my NZ log-in, haven't bought anything yet but this should be fine. Have my eyes on an E30 M-Tech II steering wheel, which keep popping up there. Cheers, Patrick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have bought clusters, business radios, engine parts from there.

jpp 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2007 I know two people who live over there, both speak good Engrish. One in Rostock, so if you buy any parts, I can make them do the bashing if something doesn't work out, or can get them to send for you etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
