I think overall e-bay is a good place to get a lot of stuff, you just have to make sure you are getting a good product and check up on who is selling it and some other things. But for the most part e-bay is a very nice setup to buy and sell things. I only know one situation that my friend bought a computer on ebay and sent them a check and they never sent him the computer. It was for like $1200 too! Just be careful is all you can do.
