Same here, but not hundreds. I've only received one lens that did not match
the description. Whether that was because of damage in shipping or
otherwise, the seller took it back.
I did get ripped off on a $350 guitar (not much as guitars go). I would
simply ignore any auctions that have a 'No Return' policy and be highly
suspicious of any that state "Pictures tell the story". That was my error.

I've made literally hundreds of purchases on ebay without any problems. I
received two lenses that were defective. In both cases, the seller took them
back. Of course the days of really great deals on ebay are probably over,
unless you can get lucky on a just posted buy it now. But there's nothing to
fear.
KEH is very good, but the selection is extremely limited.

Hey Folks,
Is it kosher for me to ask here for a list of sites people look at for used
camera gear? EekBay scares me, but I regularly look at KEH. Is there some
other site I should visit?
