    Ask the seller some questions and read the response. If there is potential danger and ebay is aware of it, they will contact you. The seller has sold a lot and the positive % is quite high. I have purchased items from overseas, but I do the preliminary research first. I did get caught once, but it was fraud and ebay reinbursed me. The old adage “Caveat Emptor.”

    It looks legit, but yeah... 32.99 GBP for shipping is actually more than he is charging for the memory stick. In total, it looks like that is 63GBP. I imagine that is not much cheaper than you can find locally.

    personally I don't bid on auctions like that if I have a choice just because I'm morally opposed to super-infalted shipping / insurance costs. The only reason to have them is to over-charge bidders who don't read it over carefully.
