Seen some wheels I want to buy on eBay for my merc, seller claims to be five miles from me, I have messaged via eBay to go and look at a them if possible... But got reply saying the wheels are shipped directly to buyer from Germany?? Claims in bold to be a uk seller?? Seems to have good feedback, but I'm a bit wary any advice please?

I guess technically he is a UK based seller. But he sounds like little more than a middle man to me. Expect delays in receiving your order (from past experience)
Are these new or used wheels?
Sounds like it may be worth shopping about a bit.

I've bought stuff through a couple of different people on forums who ship stuff direct to you from Germany. Never had any problems.

He'll be drop shipping - he acts as a sales agent, and the stock will come straight from the factory or wholesaler to you.
Judge it on his feedback, and his proximity in case you have to have a chat...

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

I bought some LM reps for my Audi, when I rang all the Ebay sellers the conversation went like this-
Hello, do you have in stock 19" LM reps for a b7 A4?
Yes sir we do.
OK, great I will come and get them now, whats your postcode?
Er, well uhm.. they are not ACTUALLY here now..
So how are they in stock then? (this happened 5 or 6 times)
I also found the location on the ads was not the real location, I assume this is to help with tax dodging?
Anyway, I bought a set off Ebay, posted (little choice really) they turned up, on time and came with bolts and caps in the price. They had fitted the tyres without marking the rim,It all turned out well.
Also bought coilovers from Ebay for the same car, company based in Northamton.... when I checked the tracing number after placing the order - they were leaving Belgum.
