is EBAY trustworthy in buying?

Im planning on buying a greddy type s bov from "ebay."

The "buy now" price is listed as $26.00. Brand new and never been used.

Should i trust this product or should i ignore it??

i searched but i felt that this is not similar to other ebay questions on this forum.
(because its a specific question)

id really appreciate the help.

thanks.

some guys sell the item cheap and triple the price for shipping.

Thats not a actuall greddy its a replica or a copy. I went and looked at it. They get away with it by saying Greddy type (i know its a type s).

Fakie.

Ebay can be a good place to shop. You just gotta be careful and you have to be able to identify things like this.

The first sign of a knock off part is rediculously low prices for a 'brand new IN box" item. A type S goes for $150+. This guy selling one for $25 is obviously a knock off fakie.

The new greddy RS is not much more than a new S.
Just get that one.
