I don't really have the time to respond to you 
individually, so I'll do it here, hoping you're 
reading it. 

I'm getting emails from buyers and eBay 
complaints on a daily base about non-received 
items from my "Akita Sale" in November 2004. 
However, I shipped most within a week after I 
received your payment. If not, within 2 weeks as 
the post office has stupid hours and I can only 
go on Wednesdays or Saturdays, but in the latter 
case, I oversleep their opening hours^^;
Anyways, your items being shipped is all I can 
tell you! If anything returns or whatever, I'll 
let you know. By asking me 3 times a 
week "Where's my item" and expecting a different 
anwer everytime you ask the same question, 
nothing will advance. Sorry to sound so harsh, 
but I'm not one who laughs about the same joke 
after hearing it a hundred times.

Most of you did not ask for insurance and still 
ask me for tracking numbers after I shipped the 
item. Excuse me, but insurance, registration and 
EMS are on request, so unless you ask me to 
insure, register or EMS your cel or sketch, I'll 
ship it through regular airmail and will not 
have any tracking info to provide. 
No, no, please no "That's why I demand all my 
buyers to have it insured" - if it's not 
optional, I get "Boohoo, too expensive, me don't 
want!". I am not holding a gun to anyone's 
head: "Insure it!/Don't insure it!" - neither 
makes buying and selling a pleasure, so I leave 
it up to you whom I want to be capable of 
deciding about security measures for yourself as 
shipping and insurance money is your money. 
We're all more or less adults who decide for 
themselves what's responsible or what isn't. Or 
at least, I treat people that way. I will not 
think for you.

And almost none asked for any kind of insurance, 
which means that, unless I misspelled your 
address, my duty ends at the post office. 

Then, there's the evil force of religion: 
christmas! I don't even want to start imagining 
the heaps of mail piled up in post offices 
allover the world, waiting to be shipped as a x-
mas gift. But guess why I call x-mas "X-Mess"? 
It significantly slows down shipping from 
November till January.
And as most of you live in the US, 2 even in 
Australia, we've already got quite a distance to 
cover. The cel my mum once bought me for x-mas 
arrived for my birthday, 5 of August. And it was 
shipped through EMS. Wow, huh?

I'm not perfect, and it did happen to me a 
thousand times that I thought I'd shipped 
something and it turned out that I didn't. Yeah, 
daydreaming me. But trust me, after searching 
the house a hundred times over and not finding 
an assumably shipped item, means, I guarantee, 
that I shipped it.

Long story short, by complaining, your items 
won't arrive any faster, it will only cause me 
to block your emails once I've had enough. I'm 
sorry, but please understand. Maybe I'm 
oversensitive, but it really gets to me to have 
to explain the same stuff over and over again 
because someone at the other end of the line 
can't accept my answer the first time around. 
Ain't my eBay feedback I'm worrying about, it's 
just that I don't like being tormented by the 
thoughts of complaints that I don't deserve all 
day long.

Thanks for hopefully understanding
Anna
