I buy most things I want through Ebay, 1st nice thing is usually you can find a great price on basically everything and 2nd there are all these sales they do from time to time where you get significantly more % back in eBay bucks (normal is 2%), think of it as free money you get on eBay that you can then use to buy stuff for free or a reduced cost.
A word of Advice though, there is some risk running into a bad seller, but in my experience theres a much bigger risk running into unsavory characters as a seller yourself, any time you sell anything of any kind of value there is a risk the buyer is trying to RIP you off before they actually "buy" the item by thinking of some way they can raise a complaint to eBay and then get issued a refund; I've seen it happen half a dozen times and they try a multitude of different tactics.
Usually these tactics are 1. "The item is a fake" (they often use this claim if you sell a luxury good that is often faked like Purses, watches, etc). 2. The item arrived broken or "significantly not as described" (this claim is often used when the buyer wants to keep the item and get a refund, or they use it after they break your item, or they try to keep your good item and send you their broken one)
3. They also sometimes claim "item never arrived", but usually this claim can be fought with a tracking number (usually under $1 per package)
