While searching on eBay for some coins I found this. No feedback so don't know what to make of it but is it worth it?

You gotta think "Would this guy trashing his reputation be worth X" with x being auction price.

With a 0 rating, I'm gonna say yes.

Don't buy bitcoins on ebay. Seems very risky.

Buy them on ebay for the right price, if they don't send the BitCoin, put in dispute with paypal and you will get your money back.  Don't sell bitcoin with paypal, because someone else can do the same thing to you, and bitcoin transactions are irreversable.

buying on ebay is fine and you can always get your money back. It is more likely a scam on paypal than the buyer. They list 50 adds for btc with decent prices and when they all sell lots of people send then the sell sends no btc and everyone is left charging back paypal eats the loss. Only thing that sucks about buying on ebay is crazy high prices. The best bet to get btc for paypal is through us at bitcoin friends on facebook

If you want to try, only buy .1 BTC start, and make sure they deliver.

Actually, sometimes, Paypal won't reverse the activity, stating that their policy does not allow for virtual goods (or something equally full of bovine excrement).

You realize that you are telling people to scam PayPal, right? PayPal's terms of service specifically prohibit you from doing this.

Update: They don't. I was mistaken.

If you pay as a gift, you're pretty much screwed, and can't get the funds back.

No no, you didn't read properly, I said if they fail to send you the BTC then you should complain to Paypal.  Read my friend.

Actually you didn't understand properly. Paypal's stupid terms of service do exclude transactions involving digital goods. So, attempting a chargeback over a bitcoin transaction is an attempt to scam Paypal.
