Oh boy. First time on ebay and buying from Chinese seller.

I once bought a Nintendo 3DS from a Chinese seller (yes I know it was a dumb move) and I got a small packet of bug repellent after 3 weeks :(

Good thing ebay has developed buyer protection. But anyway, they are not all bad. Only some.

That said the best option for you is to wait and see. I have been buying on ebay and from overseas sellers and haven't had anyone ever asking for the port. That should be handled by the postage company I would have imagined.

Not my first ebay purchase but my first BIG ebay pruchase (probably close to 100 pounds). The seller actually had pretty good feeback so no negatives in the last 12 months and it's all through Paypal.

Oh okay. The guy I bought from had like 100% positive feedback. The 3DS were selling for £80 (this should have been the catch) and around 300 people bought it at them time. But as soon as the listing was over the seller became NARU'd (Not A Registered User) and I never heard from him even after sending many messages. Fortunately ebay refunded the money and only the shipping cost of about £5 was lost.

So yeah as long as its through paypal you should be fine if worst comes true. May just lose shipping since ebay doesn't refund that.
