I personally try to stay away from eBay now unless, as someone else stated, it's a rare kit or a great dirt cheap price. I absolutely
HATE that eBay is flooded with Hong Kong sellers. It makes my searches that much harder from past experiences with those kind of sellers. I wish there was a feature that I could block sellers from certain regions but knowing eBay they wouldn't listen.
I definitely agree eBay is shooting themselves in the foot. Greedy, greedy, greedy.
