    Well I can try and be subjective about it but yes in my experience they would appear to be more relieable but then again somebody else may have bad experiences with shops. Really it depends. Examine their feedback and if unsure about a listing then ask questions. You'll get a better idea if they are reliebale or not.

    Hope this helps.

    Email them with a question, if they respond promptly and have good communication then go for it.

    And that question should be "Hello, How much for shipping for "X" items to the Republic of Ireland?"

    Their feedback of 98.3% is pretty ok (Some may not think so, but before ebay changed the rules on neutral feedback last week, they would have been rated 99.7%+ or so) but the vast majority of their non-positive feedback relates to overseas buyers, couriers, postal charges and the likes.

    If they respond promptly with favourable postage costs (and you've read the listings carefully & they suit your requirements - some feedback state that the buyers didn't realise that they were buying used equipment) then you should go for it.
