I saw those Phil but ebay purchases make me nervous, though the guy does seem to have a good record.

Indeed Ray.
I try to avoid anything from Chinese Ebay sellers, mainly due to a high occurrence of fake parts.

Yep, but always check delivery time. Long delivery time usually means long journey for product.

Even that's not foolproof Greg, I've had one or two items where a few days have turned out to be a few weeks and it's obvious the packages didn't start it's journey at the locatiion on the listing.

I checked the feedback of the ebay guy and decided to order a pair from him.
