I just received my order from him last week and got a message from him yesterday through ebay.

Oh I think he is taking couple of weeks off every year in January for Chinese New Year.

Elena, they do take the Chinese New Year off. I find it much easier to contact him via his website or on FB. His translator does this all for him. He is also known as Ko Chi Lung (FB).

I recall seeing a Mr Ko post on FB last week saying something like he had had so many orders from China that he was almost sold out, and that he didn't have enough staff, so would not be auctioning on Ebay for a while.

thankeee. answers my query.
