    I would also like to add a note of caution on using wholesalers, dropshippers, end of line sellers etc. even in this country. I used one in Nottingham and purchased a whole crate of toys. Unfortunately the flaws in the toys were not noticeable until the packaging had been opened. Lots of very unhappy buyers and several months of legal wrangling with the company.

    Uh oh. I had found a few reviews of people getting fakes but that wasnt worrying me as it was for personal use what i ordererd from there. Is my money basically gone?

    I think il be alright, the sellers personal reviews were good? If Ghgate was a uk site and secure, think of the money it would make. Iv not seen any wholesalers site nearly as good, shipping costs are too high though.

    It looks like you'll be alright rictus if you paid via Paypal and did not go directly to the seller.

    question... is there a way you can see the amount of times a product is searched for on ebay? like for example you wanted to see how many times people had searched for "sledge" or something?
