I have bought fabric on ebay with no problems, but agree you really need to read the description carefully.
I like to buy fabric on etsy.com. I have had nothing but great experiences. (NOTE THE S on the end). I have bought quite a few things. Several times I want a group of fabrics that go together and they will put together sets and email me picturee and let me pick out the fabric and then make a private listing for me. It's not a bidding process, but you still can get some really good deals. I bought some Red Rooster fabric the other day for $3.99 a yard. Pretty good considering the new stuff coming into shops is nearing $10 a yard. It is a really great place to look when you are looking for a specific fabric. It is also a good place to sell your finished items. I have a friend who sells quilts on there.

I try to check everything for stray furs before it leaves my hands, and my Etsy/Artfire shops do say that I do not have a pet-free environment. I don't put it in every listing, though. Maybe I should.
I have also received fabric that reeks of cigarette smoke, I can't stand that. Strongly scented detergent/fabric softener gets me too, so I generally don't prewash fabrics before using/sending, unless it was a questionable source (ie yardsale or thrift shop)
As with everything else in the world, though, it's 'buyer beware'.
