looks like a great deal if you don't have need of power pass through and only need single Ethernet ports.. never bought from buyur but their site supports amazon & PayPal checkout. delivery option was free for me when testing amazon checkout.

When there is no Ethernet connection 60 seconds, the ZyXEL PLA5206 will enter a power-saving mode that consumes only 0.5 watts, saving 80% more energy than comparable adapters without this function.

Heat: Double the price at Amazon etc.
I doubt see why they hike the price for multiple ports on these devices as you can pick up a cheap gigabit switch for less (£) and have more ports.

Too good to be true? Don't like the reviews of this site. For a site based in UK seems strange that they have these on offer

This product used to be available #29 pounds at eBuyer for quite a while. As for this deal its a great price the only problem is many bad reviews on TrustPilot for the retailer. You can go there and read for yourself:
Will these work with similar BT broadband extenders?

They should do, yes.

As long as they're Homeplug compatible then yes. Many moons ago BT used to supply Comtrend adapters that used the UPA standard and these aren't compatible. (BT switched to Homeplug standard around 2008 I believe)

They were £20 on amazon from the same seller the other day but I missed them. Seems like a steal at this price.

Not sure of precise differences but benchmarks on 5206 suggest significant improvements: https://uk.hardware.info/reviews/5675/3/zyxel-pla5206-review-1000-mbps-power-line-performance
