Very deceptive seller. Dealt with this seller on eBay and was deceived. Not willing to solve the problem and very argumentative person. Selling duplicate ID cards which should not be allowed by the law. Acts too smart and tries to blame the customer for all their mistakes. Don’t deal with this company is my strong recommendation
