Like with anything there are good sellers and bad sellers on ebay. The problem is telling them apart. Remember selling is pointing out the positives and smoothing over the negatives. At what point it becomes unethical is up for debate.
I have purchased or gone to see things to find them not what I expected. Mostly I kick myself for not remembering if it looks too good to be true it probably is. I try to believe the seller meant no harm. I have concluded there is a whole world of difference in the way people look at things--honestly. One persons idea of surface rust is "some areas of heavy pitting" to another. One person's idea of a rebuilt steering gearbox is new wear parts and to another it's repacking it with grease.
It's human nature to attribute more value to stuff you own than others would--especially things you've had awhile, maybe were in your family, things you cared for. Still, some sellers seem overly proud of what they have. Buyers often expect way too much as well.
If I were you, I'd ask questions about anything that concerns me. If it's important it doesn't have bugs in the paint I'd ask if it does. Ask if it uses oil--but bear in mind using oil is a varying issue and they might feel justified in saying no but you notice some smoke. Ask Ask Ask then ask yourself what might be hidden and weigh your options. If they say the transmission works great you'd be right to be ticked if it doesn't shift but if you thought that meant it didn't whine you should have asked does it make any noise too--whine might be a normal thing in a transmission to them and not something to note. If they don't care to answer your questions you probably don't want what they are selling. Good luck.
