eBay Seller "DHSummer"

    Hi folks,

    Has anyone any experience of using this eBay seller?

    I'm always wary of buying stuff from the bay, especially from far-east vendors, as you do hear plenty of stories regarding counterfeits/fakes. But DHSumer has an excellent feedback record, and a quick Google showed a few threads where people were happy with their purchases.

    The reason I was interested, is that he is selling the Markins M-20 ball head at the same price as it is in the US (PhotoProShop). Unfortunately, the EU PhotoProShop price for this product is 60% higher than in the US :( DHSummer also offers free delivery worldwide, so when I calculated customs, VAT and any handling fees, I still reckon I'd be saving anything up to €100 on the price of ordering from the EU store.

    So, has anyone else used this guy and can offer some feedback?

    They have 100% positive feedback going back to 2005- I'd say it's a safe bet.

    Just remember that you might incur some fees from the customs folk.

    1500 sales and 100% feedback can't be wrong tbh..

    I'm liking the price of the 50mm f/1.4 :)

    Yeah, I've already calculated what I'd owe in taxes and duties Kintarō Hattori, and I'd still be saving (mainly due to free worldwide shipping!) :)

    I've really very little experience using eBay (probably always a bit skeptical), so I wasn't sure if the feedback rating was to be trusted, but if it's generally accepted to be on the level, I may just take the plunge!

    I got the Canon Powershot S3 IS off a big ebay seller in America in March 2007 with about 20 extras and it all still works perfectly but the customs cost €80, still way cheaper than it all would've been over here at the time. I think the seller had 200000+ feedback though.
