Hi
Reported eight sellers from Hongkong today, each with five or more items including various Ozone Edges, Catalysts and Reos; and Switchblades... All with five or so positive feedback, buying beads.... uses manafacturer's images and cut and paste adverts; starts selling from $0.99 and all registered in April 2013...

Sadly, ebay doesn't take action and if buyers did not get PayPal protection, could be seriously out of pocket...

Saw some kites go for $500 to $1000... PLease avoid... Local suppliers best!! ;)

Agree, online doesn't mean a great buy, please think "if it's a bargain and to good to be true... it usually is"

PayPal protection doesn't always mean you will get your money back :( , found out the hard way!
If you have the slightest feeling its a scam, just don't go for it :)
