http://cgi.ebay.ca/Ashaway-ZyMax-62...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item255669b4c1 is this guy legit? I am a bit hesitant to buy from him/her because of the 98.7% feedback..
There are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, I scanned around 8 pages of feedback and the negatives all had to do with shipping. Second, all the negatives were from people with fairly low feedback ratings which I tend to ignore as they just don't have the right experience to be able to judge well.
IT is the NRC selling the string on Ebay why would you feel un-secure. You can always check out this local store. http://www.tiopan.com/~badminton/index.php

Their official website is http://nrcsports.com/store/ In general, ALL their Ashaway products are quite cheap. A reel of ZyMax for 90USD and a pack for 5, a reel of MicroPower for 60USD and a pack for 3.75, very nice prices.
I paid 10 USD for shipping (if I remember correctly, it was 2-day shipping. Not sure if you can request something cheaper). Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Ashaway-ZyMax-67...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2556c0bf03 Sorry about the late response!
