    I bought a 580 EXII last year, the price was the best i could find anywhere at the time. Delivery was quick and had no problems dealing with them.

    A while back i was going to use them again to buy another flash, 7D and grip but went with this place http://stores.ebay.ie/Photo-Direct as the prices were much better at the time, not sure what they are like now. Can't recommend them enough. They will do a deal on postage if ordering several items as the postage can seem steep.

    I would gladly buy of either one of them again providing the price was right.

    Just bought a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 from eBay last week. I don't tend to pay any attention to the particular supplier once they've a good level of feedback tbh.

    I have always avoided them because they are one of those
    sellers with a long history of selling refurbished cameras
    and trying to hide this fact by only mentioning it at
    the end of a long list of spiel copied from the manufacturers
    brochure. This practice seems to have ended now, probably
    because of a change of eBay policy. Refurbished items are
    now marked properly in the listing header.

    Another bit of sharp practice I have noticed with this
    seller is the great free gift offer of a memory card.
    Notice the way the "+" of the "+ 4GB" is carefully
    positioned to cover the model number of the camera.
    This is to conceal the fact that it a foreign model which
    will have no manufacturers warranty and may come
    with the wrong power plug or manual.

    This is a typical example:
    http://cgi.ebay.ie/CANON-EOS-REBEL-T1i-500D-DSLR-CAMERA-18-55-LENS-KIT-/300370679828?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item45ef7cd814

    However, they have a good feedback rating. I notice that
    the negative feedback is mostly about poor service rather
    than fraud, so you will probably get what you pay for.
    I would prefer to deal with a more honest seller, even if
    it costs a few quid more.
