You need to know what you are doing to be safe buying ebay items, whether that be trains or used underware. You'll get a few bargins, gain confidence, and then some shister will stick it to you eating up any and all savings. Tell the thousands of buyers who have been ripped off by buying junk and/or undelivered items how great ebay and their "customer protection plan" is when you get stiffed. If I were a seller I could send you an empty box with delivery confirmation and it would satisfy ebay's and Paypal's buyer protection plan. Just go to yahoo or any search engine and search ebay fraud. You get thousands of hits, yes thousands. Example; http://www.msnbc.com/news/809148.asp and hundreds of other reports from NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, user groups. People buying 1200 dollar notebooks and getting nothing but a box. The frauds are kept quiet because it's bad for business, just like Enron and Merril Linch. When I was taken for $90 on computer parts no one did anything, the local police refused to even take a police report! So make believe that ebay is the greatest thing ever, put on your blinders and buy away. It will never happens to you, only the other guy.
