Look around for other people who have dealt with them. Check their feedback rating on Ebay.
I've bought and sold on Ebay and never had a problem.

I have savef a ton of money buying off EBAY. Not to say you can't get screwed, but anything is possible.
My MAS and FIPK were bought off EBAY. MAS barely used and FIPK new in the box. Between the two I saved over $300.

krewat The FBI is looking into a deal involving a friend right now. Someone stole his E-bay identity and reposted his motorcycle. They are able to some how take over your name keeping the Great E-bay seller thing with all the good ratings.
I have no idea how it is done but it is done a lot. Just be very carefull and watch yourself. Even a seller with all you listed can be a bogous seller. I am looking for a link that he gave me on on guy that made millions doing it.

But you are right. Even with dilligence, it's possible, but you just accept the risk. You run a risk of getting robbed or conned on your way to the store to buy milk. Dangerous to buy milk? Nope ...

Bad milk Bad Bad!! LOL
I buy stuff from e-bay that is not to costly, nothing that I would get hurt to bad with.
Also I would rather pay a little more for something like a Super Charger to make sure the support I might need was there.

Plain and simple "trojan-horse" situation where someone steals your password because they made you enter it again, but it wasn't in Ebay's system, it was in their's.
Anyway, be careful. Change your passwords often.
