The single biggest problem with sellers on Ebay is overstating the condition of an item, or pleading ignorance as to the age, quality, or origin of an item. Most people I buy from on Ebay (not all) seem to have a different set of eyes than I do.....items described as 'mint' and 'perfect' arrive with scratches, rust, wear, etc. Another warning flag is the poor quality digital photo - you know, some guy selling a $75,000 Viper with cell phone images. Occasionally I will buy something that is accurately represented but usually it's not.
