First of all, register to ebay and you can send him a message yourself. Just find the ask a seller a question part and send it to him. You'll have the same information available to you as any american would.

Also notice that selling just the case would make no sense for the seller as he'd still be stuck with the bass without nothing to ship it in.

You might also want to take notice that the seller is only shipping to USA and Canada.

When i try that "We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, this seller is not able to respond to your question. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing."

I agree that everything is negotiable and you lose nothing by trying.

But I don't know what you're doing wrong... I am registered in eBay and use both the ebay.co.uk and the US-based ebay.com sites without problems. I suspect you're not looking at the right place because you *can* send a question.

I click on my link and roll down
and I see "Questions and answers about this item"
click on "Ask a Question"
And I see the options for what, I want to ask.
Click on the "shipping"
ebay ask "Did we answer your questions?"
I click "No, I want to contact the seller."
and click "contiune"
after that ebay say "We're sorry but we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, this seller is unable to respond to your question. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing."

I just tried those exact steps and it worked fine. Do you see the secret code word at the bottom and enter it?

The seller only has the bass (and I imagine the case) available for sale in the US and Canada. This geographical restriction is why you can't ask him a question.

I think sometimes the seller makes it so you can't message them from the item, as I've had this problem with stuff within my own country before as well as been able to message people who only had shipping available in the states with no problems.

Someone once asked me to sell only the case, saying it was a hard-to-find case (it was an Explorer bass and case). I told them to buy the bass AND the case from me, and to sell the bass. After all, that's what he was asking me to do. Didn't hear from him again.

Maybe, maybe not. Everything may be negotiable, if you're willing to pay to make it happen.

The hardcase for the Urge is bass-specific and part of the original equipment, thus part of the value of this discontinued, and somewhat collectible bass.

Curious...how much are you actually willing to pay to have this seller seperate the case, devalue his instrument, disrupt or maybe spoil his auction altogether, and then ship it across the globe for you when he clearly is not interested in shipping internationally?

Money talks. I'm guessing the price would be into the hundreds of dollars, if he's even willing to discuss the matter.

Surely one of the online big-box retailers would have an appropriate case available for you, at a believable price. No?

Something doesn't add up here. :eyebrow:
