I've seen many listings from this seller recently and wonder if he/she is on PCF. Seems to have some cool chips.
 
I didn't have the best of experiences with that seller. We tried to strike an deal on a failed eBay auction and did agree on price + shipping but the seller refused to accept anything but friends and family paypal, full payment before shipping. I offered several other options at my expense where the buyer would have some recourse but he refused each of them. That set off all sorts of alarms and I dropped the matter.

Could be he is not very experienced, could be trouble waiting to happen. Maybe even a language problem. In any case, it seems best to keep a sharp eye out.

My experience was a straight forward 20 chip buy paid with paypal and no communications. So maybe the @DrStrange experience deserves some attention. Come to think of it the chips were packaged securely but in a manner suggesting he was not experienced in the arts of chipping and packaging. I would not have guessed a PCFer.

I had a pretty straightforward transactions with him as well. Good/positive experience. I did overpay for my rack of PNYs that I bought from him, but that's on me, not him.
 
I've bought several chips from him too. FWIW, I wouldn't accept anything other than a Friends & Family payment for an under the table eBay deal either. It's just WAAAAYYYYYYY too easy to get scammed by people going straight through PayPal. I've been scammed at least a dozen times over the course of the last 10+ years selling on eBay. All they have to do is complain about their purchase, and PayPal won't even make them return the item. They'll just take the money from you and let the buyer keep the chips. It's complete bullshit, and it happens ALL THE TIME. There are website forums dedicated to people complaining about it with many thousands of forum members. PayPal direct is just begging to get scammed.
 
I've had no direct dealing with him, but he uses my photos for his $25 PNYs on eBay. I have no problem with that as long as he ships out real chips.

I bought a rack from him and he sent real chips. But the price listed is 50% more than what apache posted literally a few days after my transaction in one of his threads in the classifieds. I kicked myself for a day or two, but then chalked it as my own loss. I did get a minty rack of $25 PNYs, which got me closer to completing my playable set

So does eBay gives sellers better protection than PayPal?
