What was his feedback like if he had any?I keep on saying that feedback is a good indicator for buyers,when I am ordering the odd stuff off of the bay of E,if the seller has ****e feedback I don't bother buying and look the other way and buy from a seller who has good customer feedback,simples.SJ.

I am afraid to say there is quite a few wolfs in sheep clothing on here but there are also the good sellers on here which make up the majority,always play safe if your not sure.Ask to pick up part if close to where you live with cash on collection or specify paypal payment and you will cover the fees,I think what people need to understand is paypal gift is just that a gift.SJ.
