Yep the Italians and I have had trouble with Greece too. Always ensure it is signed for or they will say it never arrived and Ebay will always side with the buyer. Also always add no returns as there next trick is to say it is damaged to try to get money off. With no returns this would mean that they have to foot the return postage which would mean everyone looses out and not just the seller.
There are still other ways you can be stung like them returning a different item and it is defiantly a buyers market with Ebay totally biased to the buyer, as a seller you cannot even leave negative feedback any more. Plus Ebay really sting you with there questionable hidden fees. Try to sell on the forums with gift payments for a much more secure transaction for yourself, good luck mate.

As Warren said the fees are a bastard. Add a note to your auction to say you're open to offers to end the item early, use eBay for advertising to avoid the fees.

If you aren't in a massive hurry for the cash, Rene. I'd stick them on individual lots according to figure. One of those multi listings where you can choose from a drop down. (BAT 1, BAT 2, BAT 3 etc etc) then put the pics of each individual fig in the html description. And leave them as a BIN with your preferred price £16 for each BAT? and then wait. It might take 3 months but at least you'll be selling to 'end users' and getting top dollar.

Another one selling large chunks :( I'd recommend selling on forums first at it'll be less hassle than ebay, you will probably get more as well once you factor in all ebay's fees.

Remember to mention, in the listings title, that the item's are "Rare" & use lots of exclamation marks.
Oh & don't forget to start the listing title with the word LOOK.
