I have been a buyer on Ebay for years! Never, (knock on wood) had a problem with it. I would suggest looking at the sellers feedback rate and reading their customer comments. If their rate isn't 100% I look and see why. If it was a problem with the item, I won't buy from them. If it was a problem with slow shipping, I will consider it since you really don't have any control for how long something takes to ship. I hope this helps!
