So, I get a neutral feedback from an italian bidder and have no idea what it means. Is there anyone here who knows Italian? This is what it states, "nonostante i problemi di spedizione tutto bene oggetto discreto non nelle miglio"

Babelfish translates it as:
"although the shipment problems all good discreet object not in the mile"
Since people use colloquialisms in everyday speech, Babelfish translations can be a bit rough
To me it seems to be saying that a shipping problem was made good, but that some small object didn't make it?

I have had terrible luck on shipping to Italy, they do not take global priority so you can not use the USPS on it for global priority. Don't know if UPS is any better. My problems were it took forever to get the item there. Also people in the US military say it always takes a while for there stuff to get to them too. They pay top dollar in our case the mail is just very slow.

The shipment is okay if i just gulp it down with chianti red wine.

Well, I emailed the bidder to tell them I noticed the feedback, and asked if they could explain. No response....
The only problem I had with this transaction was that they wanted to use Paypal, and I don't accept it for International payments (seller protection issues). It was noted in the auction, and I had to explain it to them. They didn't seem to have any issues with it after I told them why, but now a neutral.
