"I would warn all potential purchasers of the Canon 1D on eBay"
There was a scam going on early this year, where rogue buyers somehow
managed to compromise genuine sellers account details.
The worked by a European (manly from the east) getting into accounts of
US/Canadian seller's accounts and listing items at a very silly price, the
"buy it now" option was used. The unsuspecting buyer did just that and sent
money by western union, only never to see the goods. Nothing added up when
looked at in detail, the country of origin for emails addresses, the
delivery details for the money transfer was in a completely different
country again. Etc etc.
EBay denied that there was a problem with account access by rogues etc, even
though I know of one definite occasion and three other probables.
If you get stung you can expect very little to no assistance from eBay (it
is not in their interest to acknowledge a problem) and getting any result
using the law would prove a total waste of time, these guys pop up and
disappear with lightning speed.
It may cost more, but unless you can be 100% sure of a deal then stick to a
reputable traceable dealer.
