To follow up on my comment, this goes for ANYTHING on Ebay. When you buy or sell something, be prepared to lose the money, there is no effective way to protect yourself other than possibly disputing it with your credit card company as a buyer. In hundreds of transactions, I've been ripped off only once for about $70, so my batting average is pretty good, but I wouldnt think about buying or selling something worth several thousands of dollars unless it was from/to a very solid reputable seller/buyer.
