Dealing with HongKong is always a crap-shoot...keep an eye on ebay...basically the sellers feedback...if it is going bad, you got taken...sorry

Isn't it a bit of an overstatement? I am in HK, and I had dealt countlessly with guys here....

Some of my "favorite" armor kit "dealers" are in Hong Kong... If you're having trouble with an E-Bay seller... just be sure to be persistent in contacting E-Bay and reporting the problem.

I've had nothing but good luck with the "dealers" there.

Later,
Tim

yup, buying from ebay, u need to check their feedback, also find some ebay sellers those have registered company in hong kong, have contact address, phone number, company account, if you got problem, wrtie an email to hongkong police to complain them, they have paypal and bank account in hong kong, it is not a difficult job for police to investigate your case.

These guys have it right. Save some money, but watch for shipping and check the feedback. Feedback is the key!!!

Good luck...
