I have tried loads of translators and its all garbage. He might be translating his messages to some language and I am converting them at my end and ending up in a right mess.
I have sent a message to ebay to try and help.

My ebay home page says I have to: Please pay the seller EUR 75.00 via Wire Transfer/Direct Debit. But that's as far as I can get. Been 20hrs sorting this.

Ah right. I clicked on the thing below and I had to log on to belgi ebay. Then it took me to a belgi paypal and it had the price and every thing. But when I translated every thing it looked like he was going to pay me and I had to send the turbo.

This back to front thing might be the problem. Thanks.

Will I filled in the forms on the link only to find it was for printing postage labels in the end.
Just sent him a email saying I am giving up.
At the end of the day I won it cheap, so does he even want to help. I will just take the neg feedback on the chin.
