Hi All
Can anyone help me identify the Ebay seller "cinema paradiso" who
apparently supplies Eiki/Elf parts/lenses etc. I need spares!

Any infomation would be appreciated.

Why not just write to him via e bay David?

Maybe he wouldn't care for his ebay identity being publicised here?

Hi Andrew,
I do use Ebay to buy, and have been trying to search the dealer`s
Ebay I/D but to no avail. Is there a special dealer search function I can use?
The dealer advertised only two weeks ago, but I missed the item, and he has not re-listed although friends say the item did not sell. Tried "contact ebay" which only allows me to ask specific
pre-listed questions. Am I using the wrong approach? But if there is no current listing, how can I contact?

Did you save the item you were viewing in your wish list etc David?

Sorry I cannot be of more assistance here but if this is a dealer only selling 16mm stuff, I won't have ever come across them.
I've never seen this acronym before anyhow.

If it's a person I feel can be of use to me in the future, I add this seller to my favourites describing what type of goods they sell etc. That way, you're not relying on memory in the future and anything new they are selling automatically comes up in your list of searches.

Yes Andrew,
Any Items of possible interest, I will either add to favourite seller or place item in watched item listing. However I have only myself to blame for not so doing on this occasion. We live and learn (sometimes).
Thank you anyway.
David

Someone on here will know who you referring to David. Then hopefully, they will pass this info onto you by PM so the sellers true identity may remain protected, as should be.

Hope you get fixed up with this one here David. [Smile]
