Who's the member, Bob? Some of us may actually know him here and could give you some further insight on the guy. A lot of us buy stuff out of Asia...
But yeah, I'll reiterate what Matt and Jesse said, just use your credit card through Paypal. That way you're covered twice. If Paypal won't refund it, your credit card company probably will. Only problem with Asian stuff is that occasionally it can take a while to make it's way over here, and you only have 30 days to file a Paypal complaint.
I've gotten a nice Paypal refund before, but I know others who haven't been quite as fortunate. I guess it can go either way. So using the CC is a good back up plan. Good luck!
