by the name mentioned I think it might be this pot:

Yes thats it, the other link is a 50 ml shui ping by the same seller

Firing level is listed as 4/10. That pot looks like an eraser at best, and under-fired choke-throat machine at worst.

But, you never know.

It is seems like a mass production new pot (many pots still in stock). The shape resemble but not typical of Fanggu shape as Fanggu tend to be flatter. The clay seems new, not sure what it is but it is up to them to claim whatever. The cover of the pot seems to be grinded to fit into the body (you can see it in the photo 5), so there appear to be some touching up. For that price and all the trouble of selling it, it looks like a bargain, but for brewing tea, I might have to put in a lot more thought.

Cheers!

I didn't expect much, just wondering if anyone had any experience with the seller. Thanks guys

I didn't know about the grind fit, thanks
