You can certainly buy camera equipment on ebay! The caveat is that you are at more risk of getting ripped off, (compared to buying from big name retailers like Adorama or B&H)
There are a couple of things you can do to make shopping a little safer on ebay. Check the seller’s feedback rating, if it’s less than 98% then you’re probably better off finding a different seller. Make sure the seller offers returns, you don’t want to be stuck with an expensive lemon that you can’t return! Look for ebay’s “Top Rated Plus” badge, that indicates that the seller has a good track record for fast shipping and happy customers.
