I haven't been burned on E-bay either, but a friend did and paypal reimbursement was full of pitfalls.
One suggestion, for a cheap (inexpensive) sewing machine, Costco.com has a brother machine that comes with all the quilting feet and price has been anywhere between $139 to $179. They have a singer in their stores right now, but not with quilting feet. Last I heard the brother was still available on-line.
