content: Sorry, did not mean to denigrate the seller, he means well and my questions related to forms of payment and the country of origin.Ukraine is a hot bed still, and while it affects primarily the Crimea and Sevastopol, escalation of current conflict [ Malaysian plane and now 2 jets shot down] could affect all mailing [ particularly air-mail] in-out of the Ukraine. So caveat emptor. The seller is in Kiev, the best city right now for mailing, so that's a good thing. The few negatives received are about packages not being received but made good by the seller.Its possible US buyers can email him about taking Paypal over Skrill for those nixie tubes, most of his other wares allow paypal so maybe "Skrill only" is just an error.Quote from: cimmo on July 23, 2014, 12:59:39 pm

content: The problem is using Skrill USA risks fraud, eBay purchases are just one of your issues. Samples of each problem are described on the linked BBB site, you can google for more:https://www.trustpilot.com/review/skrill.comIn addition, the loss of your personal credentials means you now risk identity theft.I hope better, more trust able and reliable sources of payment continue to evolve as Paypal is not without its problems, but for right now, its better than Skrill.Quote from: PedroDaGr8 on July 23, 2014, 11:30:13 pm

content: FWIW, the seller has another auction for cheaper, albeit used, nixies, and accepts PayPal on that listing.http://www.ebay.com/itm/251537718418?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D251537718418%26_rdc%3D1
