I just want to share my experience with blocked user from Ukraine (jekanator). Few days ago he sent me a Sugino 75 with tracking number that seems legit.
He was very polite during our correspondence. He did say he couldn't receive money via PayPal (quick googling says this is true) and suggested bank transfer. He also suggested I check his previous sales and contacts in order to establish his legitimacy.
However, for a couple of days, he could not pick up the money I sent him (transaction was apparently frozen by Western Union) so he advised me that I cancel the transaction. I sent a request to WU to cancel my transaction, in the meantime, money was unfrozen, he picked it up and few days ago, apparently, sent the package with tracking number.
edit: I'm not sure about the provenance of items, but the reason for price currency used is Western Union automatically converting any currency sent to USD.
