I haven't heard of Sewitsforsale. It is not taboo to ask to see an item. Actually it works for the seller too, as long as they have the time to get you in to see. One question, is the shipping seem high? It used to be that on ebay people would put some of their profit into the shipping cost, instead of actual shipping. I have heard that this procedure has been changed, but I haven't read anything on ebay about it. As long as they aren't gouging you on shipping, they shouldn't be irritated if you wanted to see it, and save on shipping.
