    Buying anything that involves western union + china + electrical items should be avoided, plus if its too good to be true then it usually is, was it £80 for the 3 or for 1, cant imagine them being of much use at that price

    Don't forget there is duty and VAT to pay on imports, so you would probably have found your margin would be a lot lower anyway...

    If using alibaba, try aliexpress which escrows the cash and does the dispatch, or only use 5yr+ gold vendors to reduce fraudsters.

    UK sellers are selling them for around £70 on Ebay... So by the time shipping and tax is covered, they need to be that cheap...
