Default Ebay lipos

Iam really a confirmed IC motor flyer but - hey- summer's here and it is time to get out the electric gliders.

I really need some new Lipos and there are hundreds on Ebay from china, korea and hong kong - much cheaper than the normal retailers.

Any suggestions on brands to choose/ avoid. I am UK based so please do not recommend any US mail order sources. Transatlantic carriage seems absurdly expensive!

Thanks

I don't have any specific guidance, but I figure buying lipos off ebay is just like buying anything else off ebay. Pay close attention to the seller's feedback, make sure you read the description very carefully (so something like this does not happen to you) and pay via a credit card or some other means that allows you to place the purchase in dispute should things go wrong.

Just my thoughts....

I think you will have better luck with batteries from Hobby King than E-bay. There are a lot of lipo seconds on E-bay. Check Hobby Kings Europe warehouse.
