I've had pretty good luck on e-bay.

While I've dealt with a couple of difficult people, most of them have been pretty good.
Reading the feedback is key. There is a lot that can be said between the lines.

I also check to see if something has been sold and re-listed multiple times before I buy.

Be sure and check shipping before you commit. There are some people who grossly overcharge for shipping in an apparent effort to make additional profit.
I don't deal with them.

If its anything remotely expensive e-mail the seller and ask a few questions.
If its really expensive I get their number and talk on the phone and try to get a feel for things. If they don't want to do that or I get a bad vibe I don't buy.

Come to think of it I've had better luck on e-bay than Banjo Center.
