Someone in China is selling WD Black 2TB (FZEX) on ebay at a price which beats even the best US stores by a fair margin, which makes it a bit suspicious. The seller otherwise has got good past feedback.
Is it safe to buy an HDD from someone located in China? Could it be a warranty issue, bad sectors or a refurbished item? Seller hasn't mentioned any of these issues. I know I can always cancel the deal if there is a problem, but I don't want to indulge into claim/shipping hectic.
UPDATE

Thanks to everyone who responded. To clarify, this is not a matter of $20. Almost none of those big names ship things to my place. The only exception is B&H, who'll charge me another $40 on top of their $129 price, making the final price around $170. This ebay guy seems to be doing free shipping in $85 price. Is it still a considerable difference compared to the risk factor?
