Prices (in NZD) about 1.5x-2x those listed on icstation, presumably all coming from the same Chinese sources. Difference will be purchases arrive in days rather than weeks so that might be worth paying for.</div>

<br>
Don't remember any issues, but recently been buying all my bits from a couple of other eBay suppliers.<br>
<br>
They're not selling anything unique so if you shop around on ebay you'll find other Chinese/HK sellers with high volume positive feedback pretty quickly that have identical stuff and you get the implied paypal buyer protection as almost all of them are paypal only.<br>
<br>
I've bought a few hundred dollars worth of Arduino / modular electronics stuff in the last six months off Chinese sellers on eBay and not had any issues. Happy to dig out the store links for the sellers I've been using when I get home if anyone is curious.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Chris H.<br>
