My thought is if he wanted to buy the card outside ebay via pp, where is the risk? He lost his buyer protection. I honestly would be more worried if he wanted to buy it on eBay.
My son is huge into basketball and because it is so popular there, I have bought from many sellers in Taiwan and Hong Kong. They had what he wanted at great prices and many shy away from the foriegn auctions. If the guy has good feedback I just go for it and have never had a problem once. I get great deals on the international stuff, just rely heavy on feedback.
Many years ago when I was a heavy ebay seller, I made a killing opening my auctions to foriegn bidders. I would not do it now, as the sellers have no protection at all and you would get killed on scams. It's a shame too, at one time I was just going to the toy store and buying cases of popular toys and selling them to tons of Aussie buyers who could not get them because of distribution. I made about 4 thousand selling just the die cast Disney "Cars" in one summer.
