Is APM (Germany) for real?

I have sent three or four emails to APM in the last month asking about one of their eyepieces, and how to pay with a US credit card to Germany.

I have not received even one reply of any kind, not even a screw-you. Does anyone know if it is safe to give them a CC number and then hope they would actually send the eyepiece?? Zero response makes me nervious as to dealing with any company, much less one overseas.

They are. Markus has quite a good reputation and from what I've seen he's very concerned about customer satisfaction. Maybe he's at some sort of function. Maybe Markus will show up and address your concerns.

P.S. Is the eyepiece the 30mm BW Optik?

Hi Stephen,

This is the third email I have sent asking about this eyepiece! What is the price in US dollars shipped to Florida, USA ? Also, I had asked how to pay by credit card from US to Germany?

If you do not make this eyepiece any more, at least let me know so I can quit sending emails. If you don't care to sell such a small-dollar item, then tell me so. I am tired of sending emails and getting no response. This does not look good for APM to do this.
