Check his feedback. He's clearly sold quite a few with a lot of
satisfied customers. For $65, and with an urgent need, what's the
problem? I've bought similar things myself through eBay and had no troubles.

And that's why you check their feedback. Given the substantial number of
satisfied customers who have bought the same item, I'd say it's a pretty
safe bet whatever his ability level with English may be.

Well, he's not in too much of a hurry, or he wouldn't be looking on eBay
in the first place, for just that reason. :-)

That said, I think my reg/rec took under a week to get here from
Germany, although I've noticed that it can be inordinately slow from
Hong Kong for some reason (not due to the sender, but the postal
service, going by postmarks). Europe-Oz is vastly superior in shipping
times to Asia-Oz in general - I ordered some books last year from the
UK, and from time of order/payment to deliver to my door was only 3 1/2
days.

I am SO glad that I didn't have a mouthful of drink when I opened your
post...
