I have an e-bay account for 10 years with a 100% feedback. All is safe on there, but to spend that kind of money buy it on the counter as ?100 cheaper is not worth it if something goes wrong you will have to go to the rigma of getting in touch with the seller postage cost to return it. With off the counter you have a one to one and things can be sorted.

If you get hit for import duty then you will be more than ?100 down. I have only had to ask PayPal to sort things out twice and both times it took over a month to get things resolved.
Buy it from the shop with a credit card and that way you get to see it first and maybe haggle.

Over the counter every time if you want any sort of warranty. He could be a very good seller but electronics have a mind of their own and could break down within weeks. Better to have a UK name you can return the item to.

No brainer
You buy it from China. No probs. Then 3 months down the line the thing locks up
Suddenly no one speaks English

also if it is coming from China there is even a chance that it could be a clone.
As mentioned if you get hut with import tax, then that ?100 you planned on saving, you wont.

For a hundred quid why take the risk, although if you pay by paypal you will be completly covered.
