So, as you ALL know, below is a photo of my placecard holders. I haven't ordered them yet - only a sample set. The cheapest I've found them is 11.99 per set of 4, and I was full prepared to pay this. On a whim, I looked on eBay, and I found someone selling them for $7 a set. They only have 18 sets (I need 26) but this would still be a substantial savings for me. My problem is that the seller on eBay is new, and does not yet have any feedback. It is an eBay 'store' so it seems reputable, but I'm still leery. What would you do? It would be a savings of $90 if I bought the 18 sets at $7 and the add'l 8 sets at $12. Should I take a chance w/this eBay vendor?
So I just found out its flat rate shipping of $10 for the 18 sets. I think I'm going to take a chance, b/c the seller seems to be going out of their way emailing me, posting a new item just for me w/the lot of 18 sets, etc.
Thanks for the opinions girls!

Contact the seller, I usually go by the vibe in their replies.

If you pay by paypal and the ebay store doesnt send you the item, you can dispute it with paypal and the CC you used to buy it.
Maybe us LIWs can help you find a cheaper price?

Those are totally cute!!!
I would go w/ebay, esp. since it's a store.
What if you bought 1 set then if that went well buy the rest?

Yeah well I know everyone has to start somewhere---but I would prefer they don't start with MY order.
I'm too paranoid, I'd probably just s u ck it up and pay the $90. Either that or see if they will refund you any monies if you are dissatisfied. I don't like dealing with ANY ebay seller who no feedback.
That's how I feel. I'd be too paranoid - it's pretty close to your wedding.

Re: Need Opinions
if the shipping is based on weight... then just order one set through ebay and see how it comes and then u can make your decision for the rest based o nthat experience.
