This is some of the communication between me and Agilent on eBay. I
think it is clear Agilent wanted to use Paypal, and I did not. It was
Agilent who said I should split the payment into two - one of $10,000
and the other of $7,736

======================================

$17,736 seems a high price when the "typical configured" is US $13,200 (GBP 
8308):

I have also experienced currency problems - when the US $ changed between me 
quoting and him paying.  Accused me of all sorts when it was simply that 
there were currency fluctuations and my quote was in GBP.  He ended up 
paying more dollars, and didn't like it at all!
