I have personally done over 870 transactions via Ebay over the past 2 years. I started buying telecom equipment for my business. Now I buy most everything there. Recently bought a 1996 Old 98 for the wife with 60k original miles, got it for $3500.00 sweet deal and the 91-96 Olds 98's get 30 MPG. For some of us Ebay is the perfect way to do business. And finding extremely hard to find parts is a cinch. I have bought parts from Italy, England, Australia, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, France. Phishing is a problem in many places, I have got them from all the major credit card companies and a couple insurance companies. Always report it and never respond to an email. If you think it may be real contact the said company directly whether by emailing there site directly or by phone.

GREAT place to find all manner of odds and ends and rare and exotic (electronic) components through to 'systems' scale items.
As others have pointed out, ONE has to use common sense and SHOULD be quite familiar with WHAT it is they are dealing in (one should be familiar with the technology AND the terminology). The devil CAN be in the details, to be sure.
Armed to the hilt with specific knowledge of the item-area one deals in, one can do okay 'trading' on eBay. Sort of a largish, nation-wide garage sale sort of affair if you will ...
