Not exactly, 330 mate like wholesale business. Not individuals. He like very much when somebody from Europe or America comes, talk to him and finally buy from him 3-4 dozens of stones. And individual from eBay is nothing for him. When I won one item from him he made me an offer to pay him directly (without eBay). When I refused he start to delay shipping. Afterwards I asked him to return my money and cancell the deal. He is very rude person, contacts with him never were pleasant. And just few days back I received from US a good jnat with 330 mate stamp on it. So, that is the way to buy great stone for good money from 330 mate. No luck, at all.
