I've been on ebay over 20 years and this year have had more problems receiving the wrong item or receiving an item described as like new that was actually not working or had serious flaws. I will not buy anything from Japan again or buy anything from an ebayer with less than 10 positives. Two of the cameras that I purchased were described as like new and didn't even work when I received them. Fortunately Ebay is very good at resolving any issues but it is time consuming. A lens that I bought described as like new actually had fungus in it. And another seller sent the wrong lens instead of the one I purchased. Just wondering if I'm the only one thats had these kind of issues recently??? I will continue to use Ebay but will be more careful with whom I do business with.
You need to look at the seller's feedback. Sellers that have not sold many cameras may not know anything about them. If you stick to sellers that have a good track record with such items, you should be ok.
