Hi all Dutch member (the Netherlands)

I need your help in translating one short email to a seller in Belgium (who speak Dutch).

It starts when i won his auction:

http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260532274885&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:BE:1123

Although the picture shows 1 box, there are actually three films rights?

"lot van drie super 8 films sound vervaldag 1990 sinds 1990 bewaard in diepvries"

Anyway, since I wanted to make a shoot with sound films (this always my dream since long time ago), I am happy with this purchase along with other listings I won (another 2 listings, so total 3 listings) from him.

But the seller sent me an invoice with only mentioning one listing and put additional charge to cover the other listings I won.

I smell something fishy here that he is trying to rip me off (or another case he is a honest seller but don't know how to combine an invoice). So can you translate my English email to Dutch please. Here it is:

[START]

"Dear Alex, I have won 3 auctions from your last Ebay listings, i.e Kodachrome Super 8mm sound films. I have received your invoice but it is strange for me since only one item is mentioned in the invoice. Where the other two items I won?

Instead, I saw in the invoice there is an additional charge for EUR 20.50 beside the postage, i.e EUR 12. What this additional charge for?

Please explain to me and after receiving a correct invoice, I will pay this as soon as possible.

Regards,"

[END]

Thanks for your help.

rgds,

Beste Alex,

Ik heb 3 objecten bij u gewonnen via Ebay,i.e Kodachrome Super 8mm sound films!
Ik heb intussen van u een rekening ontvangen waarin ik maar 1 object heb gewonnen,alleen waar zijn de andere 2 objecten?
Ik ben u daarnaast een bedrag verschuldigd van 20,50 ,naast de port dwz 12,00 Euro maar waar zijn deze extra kosten voor?

Ik hoop dat u mij zo spoedig mogelijk de juiste rekening kunt toesturen,zodat ik het geld zsm kan overmaken.

Alvast Vriendelijk bedankt.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Winbert

Good luck!
Jeroen [Smile]

Jeroen, this is his reply (he was trying to answer in rough English, making me became so confused):

quote:

Beankt this fair point

The cost of properties dre bedraagd: 8.50 Euro 12.00 Euro + shipping and total 20,50 Euro

what he is trying to sa?, because those dutch words didn't make any meaning when I translated through google translator.

thanks

I can't read this i think he use a google translator or something!
Winbert maby you can ask him to answer you in dutch and i translate that for you,because this is not the way,i think.
This is really bad English,not that i can speak it fluend!but i can make my point clear to you all,and this is not clear.

You can send it to my emailadress : jeroen-van-ooyen@hotmail.com
