buying from an ebay shop outside ebay - please advise !

[christMAScomesbutonceayear]

Have been in touch with an ebay shop because I wanted more supplies of some mother of pearl buttons I've been using for my craft making - they aren't advertising any on ebay for bidding, but have a stock of them and have offered them to me for a reasonable price plus p&p - is it safe to do a transaction with them -using Pay Pal - or am I being foolish. I have bought the buttons from the through bidding on ebay twice before and everything went smoothly.
Any advice most appreciated

If you've bought before it should be ok.

thanks...they seem reliable and if it's Pay Pal I should be safe
