With ebay, you never know what you'll end up with. It is becoming more of a
dumping ground for unrepairable cameras. Scam artists, thieves,
opportunists are becoming more prevalent there. Was the camera ever even in
a repair shop? Was anything else done aside from the back foam? You have
no way of knowing as you're at the mercy of the copy they wrote for the
auction.
