In my experience of a seller on eBayy, I wouldn't buy reels from overseas, strictly buy reels or expensive goods from a seller with positive feeback (100%) and look through the feedback left from others and see how there experience is with the seller,
also check if they have a refund policy incase it breaks or something goes wrong with it quite quickly,
hope my 2 cents worth helps you out,
goodluck

i always try to buy local or atleast in aus but id doesnt matter to much seeing as its mostly from japan and even then still made in thailand or somewere lol.
ebay is ok just make sure the seller has a high rating or even better is a ebay fishing store. most japanese sites are also ok but once u add freight and its sometimes roughly the same

platco or digitaka are ok in experiences

i would perfer paying $20-$40 extra and get one from tackle shops, at least you can see and feel what you buying, TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
