I'm not sure about PayPal purchased and shipping from overseas, but I'm pretty sure if I buy something from overseas, my rights are limited on my credit card - I'm US - and I don't know how much PayPal relies on our Congressionally mandated right to charge-back, so it would be worth asking them.

Hello Phillip,
I can't really add any more information about the seller. I assume that if you use Paypal you could get your money back if the seller didn't deliver. I also notice that the seller is open to an offer. I would offer him $250, or the equivalent in pounds, and see if he goes for it. He will probably counter offer. It looks like a very good deal to me if they are indeed new.

Hello Steve,I'm intrigued by the Maxwell caps from Russia.
I could use one of these (based in UK) but am circumspect for the same reasons that you mentioned.There does not seem to be anything obviously untoward with the e-bay link so wonder if you and other members might have any further thoughts.Regards,Phillip.

I was scanning E-Bay this morning and ran across this. It purports to be a brand new Maxwell 37330. A 37330 has the following specs:
Capacitance: 0.1 uF
Maximum DC Voltage: 50 KV
Pulse Rate: 1000 PPS
Lifetime: 1 x 10^8 shots
$390 is not a bad price ($360 + $30 shipping) especially considering it is brand new. You might spend that much or more making an equivalent MMC array, not to mention the construction hassle. The risk is that it is from someone in Russia with no E-Bay rating. 5 are available. This would be perfect for your pig-powered coil.
