Looks like PVC
Never have purchased from them, but I would reach out to them first.

Smell the inside of the flip. If they are PVC, they will smell like a new shower curtain. If they are PVC, put them in other non-PVC coin holders. Recommend Saflip brand flips.

You may want to buy some Saflips from wizard or other coin supply vendor to have on hand. Then you won't have to worry about the sellers flips.
I also recommend buying an assortment of cardboard 2x2s
As a general rule, the ones I've seen with rounded corners are problematic.
That has been my experience.
They look like possibly guardhouse flips. If they are, you're fine.
Just use the smell technique, thats what I do, generally.

Yep... If they smell like shower curtains, then they are PVC... That is the test I have used. Cheers, RickO
Give em a little wash with high quality acetone and into a new safe flip. The coins are worth it and I have gotten into the habit of rinsing any new to me silver. 😉🦫🙀

good flips are stiff and brittle, bad flips are soft and bendable. Normally the flips pictured with the heat crimped edges are bad flips. Bad flips do not hurt temporary storage of coins such as for shipping.
