Redfox Import/Redfox-Grinta.com, anyone familiar with them?

I'm inquiring about a fairly large purchase from "Jan" at Redfox, and he wants me to pay with a bank transfer, no Paypal. It's just over $300. I really want the part...and his website certainly looks legit...just wondering if anyone has any FHE. This makes me kind of nervous. Bad idea?

First time I hear from this company, many companies I deal with, also request EFT payment . ..

Many of the vendors I deal with overseas who supply the product I sell also only accept EFT...at first that made me nervous but now I'm accustomed to it.

Honestly everything I can tell about this man and his company seem perfectly legit,  and he comes up on Google searches as active in racing, parts and services. I guess I just find it strange that a parts dealer wouldn't at least have a PayPal.

Carlos; you find this is common then from European suppliers? He is from Belgium.

Yes I do . . . many simply don't like PP . . .

They certainly have some cool-looking parts.

I would expect a scam to have less imagination.

He also seemed offended when I asked for references and refused to accept Western Union, which i thought were POSITIVE signs, lol.

he is very well known in the tt/f1 scene.
