The good old days of grabbing bargains on camera bodies and lenses is gone. In some instances, you end up paying the same, if not more, than what you would at a retail store. The price that is fetched nowadays for camera gear, is not worth the hassle. You might save a hundred bucks here, or a fifty bucks there. May as well buy the item new and have piece of mind.
Be mindful of the fact that you get exactly what you pay for; you might see cheap lighting equipment and wonder why a proper retailer is charging so much for the "same" thing. The difference is that the eBay version is a replica or a cheap Chinese clone. It will not last the distance of the real deal nor be of the same quality.
There are awesome deals on second-hand laptops, and things of that nature, though. It's also a great tool to guage the value and worth of something that you've been meaning to sell but had no idea how much to ask for it. The market drives the price.
Spend a few minutes and read through the various FAQs available on both the eBay and PayPal sites. They're well-written and will alleviate any concerns you may have.
