I, personally, wouldn’t buy one online.
You just never know what you’re going to get ..especially from Ebay.
:/
Sorry.

I’ve bought from Ebay a lot too.. but with stuff such as cameras, I wouldn’t trust it.
Who knows if there is something wrong inside the camera? The outside could still look perfectly fine.

truth.

you never can tell.

i bought my Nikon and my Canon both on ebay. the lens on the canon was sticky - it didn’t turn properly. i had my own lens, so it didn’t matter. and there is nothing wrong with that old lens, it just takes a bit more of an effort to zoom in - which is nothing to worry about really. it gives it personality! lol

email the seller and ask them why they are selling it.
and then its just about making the leap or not.

Roxy, maybe you should try Craigslist?
http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites

You pick the location you are in or near and they list things that are sale or for free.
I’ve seen a lot of cameras for sale around my area, and the best thing is that if you’re interested in something ..it’s near you, so you can go check it out before you buy. :)
