Hi,
I have found a dealer of Suzhou Embroidery Silk Thread on ebay.
He has listed his threads in bundles after colours, each bundle has 6
skeins of the same colour in darker to lighter shades. More than 400
colours in all.
As i want to buy quite a large amount of this thread in many colours, i
have asked the dealer if i can buy outside ebay, to save the money this way.
He only can receive a money order or check.
Would you consider this to be much two risky to buy outside ebay, or would
you recomend me to use ebay?
It would be very slow if i should bit on all those bundles i want.

Hi Bjarne,
Is the seller chinaembroider? If so, I wonder why such a low feedback score
of 2, when they have been on eBay since Sept of last year, and only one is
from a buyer of their threads? I also wonder why he states on the auctions
that he *does* accept credit cards through PayPal, but doesn't do so when
bought outside of eBay? There are two too many questions for me to feel
comfortable on this, although it could be legit.
You could try a bundle or two in eBay, to see if it is worth your time and
money. Considering the low starting bid I see, it may be worth a chance,
and if you use Paypal, you would have some record of the payment in case
there is a problem. Then if things are fine, you would feel better about
ordering more from this seller. That's what I did for some silk I ordered
from a seller in India. I am happy with them, and will be ordering more.
My thoughts fwiw.
