<p>In addtion to what has already been mentioned (condition of item, manufacterer, road name, clear photographs).  I look at a sellers rating, number of sales and age of account.  A reputable seller with a 99% customer satisfaction or better I will consider a purchase.   I speak with friends who shop on ebay for train collections and ask about them having good experiences with particular sellers.  I prefer to buy from ebay sellers who have small time brick and mortar shops that are too far for me to actually visit (a kind of pay it forward to my fellow modelers).</p> <p>I ignore the dumb comments (UPS ran over my shipment with a forklift etc) because those the seller has no control over.   Legitiment negative comments (ie item was not what was listed etc) will cause me to pass up the seller without giving the item a second glance.</p>
