I've bought a lot of stuff off there...in fact have a couple items on the way as we speak...
Only had probs with one guy...sent my AC/DC"Highway to Hell" 8 track to the wrong address...twice...but got a little later than planned...
Even got that funky 8track with remote I ran last season off there...

I use ebay WAY to much, here are my own personal rules.....................
1. I won't buy something from someone that won't take paypal (Paypal cover you up to $1000) no other form of payment will do that.
2. If the person gets negative feedback from someone and they turn around and attack the person or make them look like the bad guy I won't deal with them.
3. Zero feedback gets no bids from me, no matter what it is.
4. I TRY not to buy from someone shipping by UPS cause UPS will serve your *** raw to you with shipping and brokerage charges when shipping to Canada.
5. Read the WHOLE auction, the fine print too.........it is easy to get screwed and it be your own fault.................
6. Always try and get shipping charges up front if the item is to cheap, people try to make all their money on shipping and that sucks cause you are stuck.......................
7. I never bid till near the end of the auction, some people hate snipers, but lets me honest, why jack the price up if I don't have to.................

I've bought an original movie poster off ebay, turned out great paid through money order.
Tim pointed out great advice. Only other advice I would give is to sometimes skim through the type of feedback they have gotten to build your own impression on the seller.
