It depends on the seller. If they have an actual Ebay Store with thousands and thousands of positive feedback, they're legit. I personally have yet to get swindled, but i know that one guy make an auction for the XBOX 360's box alone, and he clearly posted that on the auction description, but he made 500+ USD on an empty cardboard box, because people didn't read. If you look up "p-p-p-p-powerbook" you'll find the most famous internet scam.
