I didn't pay much attention to reputation or location until the first time I got burned--then I
really started to pay attention to number of feedback. Trust me, you're going to do the same from now on too.
Oh, I must be cheap too because my two CF Specialized frames and
most all of the parts that I built them up with were used or take-offs parts from eBay auctions.

I didn't pay any attention to the sellers location because I've not generally had an issue with purchases on eBay. The price was on par with other completed auctions, in fact the morning that I won it I was kinda regretting my last bid and not just letting the other bidder take it.
Thanks for the helpful responses though. I guess I'm stuck waiting out the delivery period. Who knows, maybe the seller did send it before he/she got suspended
. Fortunately I did use a credit card through PayPal so I've got plenty of paths to take it seems.
