Can anyone give me a clue as to what this Italian buyer is asking? I sent her the invoice, the shipping is $6.90, which was in the listing of course.
"hi excuse but which invoice? is it more of 6,90 US the consignment? "

Perhaps they want to be sure the shipping is $6.90 in U.S. dollars? Not sure about the invoice reference.

Maybe that's it. I don't know what the "consignment" means either. I had explained that the postage was $6.90 US. This is her first purchase, I don't think it's going to go well.

Don't forget, Ebay sends our their own EOA notices, also. Perhaps it was different than the one you sent. I've had it happen to me and not just with international transactions.

A consignment is something to be transferred or given to another party. I think she wants to know if the $6.90 is included in the original invoice (sent by eBay?) or is there another invoice for an additional $6.90.
I don't think things are going badly, at least not yet.

Thanks for the suggestions, I guess I answered her question, I wrote it in English and then translated into Italian on Babelfish.
Got this reply this morning "hi I wanted to tell you that I have sent you the payment with paypal aspect your news for the consignment hi thanks"

I think she wants to know if the shipping is the same for 2 items as it is for on 1. Just a guess from some of my past experiences.

Thanks, that is what I thought, but she only bid on one, and I only have one. I think I would prefer messages in their own language and then translate it on babelfish, it would probably be more understandable.

Or maybe she wants to know if the shipping is the same as the last time? Hopefully she doesn't want 'combined shipping' pricing when she has all ready received one.

Surely she can't expect combined shipping when she already has one. The shipping on this pattern is cheaper than the book she bought. I just sent an invoice, so I hope that will be enough, I just don't know how to answer the question.
Her message about receiving it was so cute
"hi I wanted to tell you that I have received this morning??? I don't feel like believing! fast consignment! I immediately leave you the feedback! thanks thousand! but do you have others of it? hi;"

My guess is that she was using Babelfish to translate from Italian to English!

Well, I was doing the same thing back to her. From English to Italian that is.
