Well, that is certainly a risk. ebay [and internet trading in general] is based on an honour system. Actually, I know that in germany people sell perfectly brand new stuff on ebay as "defunct", just to cover their asses from european consumer law. I bought a Webasto heater this way. It IS caveat emptor if you choose to go through with such a deal. And I'd rather have that and make my own judgement than being ripped off by poor descriptions and photos...
