The online bullion store EurGold, run by mr. Shane Buckley, is a SCAM.
The short story is that I ordered some silver about 8 days ago and the owner is ignoring me and refusing to either ship or refund. I got ripped off for ~1.1 BTC.
See my post in the store's reputation thread for more info:

I urge mr. Buckley to give me my money back, or I will be forced to sell this debt to a collection agency in Ireland, which will be much less pleasant than settling this privately.
