My experience didn't involve Eplay, but a highly regarded dealer. I bid 
and won some items early in 2007 which didn't arrive after a couple of 
months. I contacted the dealer who said he would investigate, but his 
efforts got nowhere. As the records weren't insured I left it at that.

About July, I received a knock on the door from the next door neighbour. 
She was holding a parcel, which she had taken in months before about the 
time she lost a baby in childbirth. In their grief the parcel was put 
aside and forgotten for several months, until they were having a sort 
out, and came across it.

The good news is that a year later she gave birth to premature, but 
otherwise healthy twin daughters.
