Re: Buying components from eBay?
The only rules are in the manual. Nothing specifically against Ebay. It is buyer beware though. Having said that, I have had good luck buyer stuff off Ebay. The pressure transducer we use on the pneumatic system we bought off Ebay.

If you where to buy a custom manufactured part (non COTS) you might run into the COTS definition rule. That would not apply to a commercial product though.

Also pay attention to the sellers reputation. It should always be high.
