depends. ebay is a great site and you can get good deals but i have also personally seen friends get screwed. if i deal with ebay i make sure they have good rep and i only deal with powersellers. they may charge a lil more but ebays already hella cheap and id rather pay a lil more for peace of mind. nothing is worse than getting burned and unfortunately theyre a bunch of douche bags out there so my best advice to you would simply be to do some research.
