We are receiving mails from BBay regulary (sometimes a few hours late
but still ...)
It happened only once (about 2 months ago) that we haven't got one
transaction report ...
We have no idea if "wanted" notifications work .. but we'll find out soon
(we added some sets and there were many guys who had 'em on
their wantlists) ...
Hmm ... we'll wait for a day or two before posting here - if noone buys
any of those things it would probably mean that notification doesn't work
...
We'll see ...
Enjoy !
