Help....Ebay Seller Makes Me Very Nervous

1885 Swiss Shooting Taler

This is a decent looking coin and the price is currently not too bad.

However, the sellers early feedbacks makes me very nervous (China)!!!!!!

Anyone know anything about this guy? Comments.

Thanks for any help.

It is a more professional offering than usually seen by sellers from China. BUT... that doesn't neccessarily mean that the item is original. The Chinese are quite proud of their exquisite genuine copies! Personally, if it's being sold from China I don't care if they're giving it away, I won't even waste time looking.

I would never consider purchasing a coin from a dealer/seller in China.

I don't now him but,

He doesn't hype the coin.
His postage request is reasonable.
He has been on ebay for over three years so he isn't a hit and run seller.
Yes he has two negatives one two years old, one one year old and one of them is from someone who has been NARUed himself.
He takes paypal so you may have some safety there.

It doesn't look too risky to me.
