In my class, out of 60 students, 55 students had pens costing less than 30 rs. And my school was best in my city !! It was just the matter of time, when 50 odd rupees had some value attached to it which is not the case now.

Guys what's the difference between a Gel and a Roller pen? For example this, *www.uniball.in/eye.html and this, *www.ebay.in/itm/uniball-gel-impact...-pack-3-/171298158664?pt=lh_defaultdomain_203

I went to College St. last Monday but bad luck.
A shop called Pen Mart had few cheap Chinese FP but I did not like those.
Found a shop name from web 'College Pen Forum' but could not find.
I Googled about inexpensive FP made in India and found few names like Wality,Camlin,Chelpark,Artex etc.
But,only Chine and Parker I can see.
And foreign brand like Lamy,Pilot,Platinum,Sheaffer,Waterman etc totally beyond my budget.

Did u bought anything from China before ?
Cos I heard sometimes item never reach cos ebay seller from China use regular post for shipping.
R u from Kolkata ?
Click to expand...
I live near Kolkata, not exactly in Kolkata.

I have ordered multiple numbers of items from China, the only deal didn't go through was an order of ceramic knife set, seller said he shipped it but there was some problem with Chinese Postal Service. So yes, you have heard right, there is no surety that you'll get the item, however that's not the likely case.

That's great.
First have to decide the items from a repudiated seller first.
Avg. time of shipping from China to Kolkata ?
Click to expand...
20-21 days. I just thought I can just change my address and replace with yours and you'll be receiving the product in your place directly. Mine takes around 21 days but as you're in Kolkata you might get it 2 or 3 days earlier.

Did u get refund ?

Of course! That's the big advantage of eBay and PayPal, your money will be safe no matter what happens.

Then if u don't mind just PM me the detail.
If u close to Kolkata then I can pay u directly to u.
I think this may be better way to thank someone for his help. :)
I have no experience with ebay so if u can find similar item with better price please don't bother to suggest me.
