If you use your head, you can find good deals on e-bay.
1. Check the seller's feedback. If there's a lot of negative feedback, the guy might be shady.
2. Ask questions about the product you're buying. If anything, just ask a question to make sure the guy's email address is working. But it's the buyer's responsibility to ask any questions about the product before buying.
3. If it looks way too good to be true, it probably is. Refer back to point number 2. (example: that Maxima with the "300zx turbo transplant") Do research.
Basically, just use some common sense and you should be fine.
My brother bought a "Saving Private Ryan" poster. He did some research and found some info on advanced prints and such. He asked the seller what the poster looked like and details about the poster. In the end, he got a poster that sells for $100 normally for $20 shipped from e-bay.

I use ebay regularly to look for things I'm buying. To my surprise (at first) there would always be some listings. Another caveat is to be careful with shipping and handling fees, sometimes they're a means of adding extra profit to what's being sold w/o paying fees. Ask how much for S&H if it's not posted and stay away from sellers with too much real negative feedback. You have to read between the lines on some negative feedback and it's usually fairly obvious whose bad it was.

the technique is to hit refresh until the timer is at 00.01 then place your bid if youve got cable or faster itll place it in seconds and you always win

...i used to buy lots of stuff on ebay, never tried car parts, but done lots of other stuff...only got taken once, on a $10 PS2 controller, no big deal...and i'm sure the seller has his own problems cuz last i heard, he was gettin investigated by his local fraud dept....anyways, definitely check feedback and you have to be willing to take the gamble...ebay is a great resource for great pricesoh yeah, about the auction sniping...there's quite a few websites out there that run servers that will do the sniping for you, upto 3 seconds from the end of the auction...that helps when you can't be there to snipe
