Chinese seller. If you have problems you're screwed. In order to get coverage from PayPal you'd have to ship it back to the seller with an online tracking number. I'm not familar with the UK postal system but in Canada and the US, to ship overseas and get a tracking number is HUGELY expensive. And you wouldn't get that cost back either. That's on your dime.
For that reason alone, I'd pass.
If you have a friend in Canada get them to go to The Source. They still sell new Kindle Keyboards. I think Staples here does too. Or perhaps look into one of those freight forwarder companies. You'd use their address as the Ship To address and buy from the site. The site ships to them and they forward it to you. Some sites check the country code of your credit card so you may not be able to but it's worth a shot and for a brand new Kindle, it's better than a refurb, better than used and better than getting screwed on an expensive screen through eBay and a Chinese seller.
Hope that helps!
