Yeah, it's super, super easy to take any Pikachu mascot picture off of Google and just slap a watermark on it. You could be a total Photoshop doofus and still do it.

I mean, that place (Happy Island) has the 7 year gold supplier, they have the Trade Assurance thing turned on, the English is actually ok and not funky grammar, the price makes sense, and I Googled the company and really didn't come across that many incidents of it being a scam. But the big thing with the Trade Assurance is Alibaba mentions this:

"If the supplier breaks the on-time shipment or product quality terms of your contract, Alibaba.com will refund the covered amount of your payment."

"If we confirm that the supplier has breached the terms of your contract, we will reduce the level of their Trade Assurance Limit."

Having that kind of safety net is nice to know about and I highly doubt a scammer would go through that kind of trouble for seven years while having that kind of thing turned on. I dunno, I might just take a deep breath, grab the dice, and go for it, but make it clear that hey, I want the one that's in that picture.

And if it does work out well, awesome! Then, of course, learning the Pikachu dance would be an absolute obligation.
