I don't have a dog in this fight, but there are two details of interest:
1. If his eBay handle is
militarygriffin (no space), he's been on eBay since 2001. His record was okay until about June 2007. Something obviously changed on his end. From the feedback comments, he's struggling with shipping issues.
2. Here's a tool I use if I'm on the fence about a seller (
