Anyone familiar with this ebay vendor?

I've been looking at Tahitian necklaces, the baroques to be more specific. I'm a pretty cautious shopper especially when I'm not as knowledgeable as I'd like to be. I ran across an ebay power seller with outstanding feedback, however sometimes I feel he's not answering all my questions as they were asked.. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of pearl_society? Their ebay store is Allure Collections, here's a link to their store:

They have been discussed here several times. They are very dishonest in their descriptions. They invented some fairy tale called 'suspended planting' for one of their lines (http://cgi.ebay.com/27K-SUSPENDED-PL...QQcmdZViewItem) and have been deceiving unsuspecting customers for years.

A definite, absolute thumbs down. Maybe you can get a decent strand at a decent price from those guys, but if they are clearly liars, why would you want to take the chance.

Thank You Jeremy(two time customer of yours by the way), their excellent feedback is probably due to selling to less knowledgeable people like me. I was negotiating a tahitian baroque bracelet and starting asking more specific questions in regard to the quality of the pearls(A-D). I was told they usually don't rate these type of necklaces. The "red flag" went up bigtime!!! Thanks for the quick response!!
