 eBay
OK, wanted a BCD and set of Regs for IFCs, OWICs, PIEs (evidently twin 12s, long hoses and the like isn't "recommended")... So,
1. Bid on a set of Regs on eBay - won, paid
2. "watched" a BCD (from same bloke) which didn't sell, so sent him a msg saying "it didn't sell, so how much", haggled, agreed price and paid direct via Paypal (bit risky, but hey the 1st transaction seemed OK)
3. Payments went through, goods "despatched"
4. This morning recd an email from eBay and an eBay message saying:
"The following is a notice from eBay Trust & Safety regarding: Item Number - xxxxx - Item Title - Reeflex regulator set with spares
Our records show that you were a bidder on this item. We recently removed this listing and have suspended the seller's trading privileges. Due to privacy concerns we will not be able to share further details related to this seller.

5. So, mild panic sets in...
6. Card through letterbox saying "large parcel waiting for you at local post office"
7. Scoot straight round
8. Open box, goods as described!!!
