Do consider the risk of getting a lemon because you are not able to check on the spot.

All these questions must be explained / answered in the specific offers. If nothing is given you better take your hands off.
You can increase the safety by only buying from sellers with a high positive ranking. Also, you can have a look at the feedback given by buyers. Check the negative remarks to see if this is really a sound critics or just some whining about little details.
Shipping is shown separately since it heavily depends on the destination. International warranty can only be given by professional sellers and shops. Private sellers usually won't give any warranty. Questions about article and T&C should be directed to the seller. Ebay itself is just the (technical) platform.

Factoring in freight charge and Paypal's lower exchange rate (that's how they earn their keep), the total will probably come up to approx $330-$340.

A couple of weeks ago, I was quoted $330 @ AP (before GST). Do the math.

why not you give The Oracle(JOE) a call at 81281225 to check how much he sells as i am pretty sure he can offer you a good price

mmm.. calculate all the risks, no warranty, cannot check on the spot, then price + shipping, i think get locally better. ease of mind too. thanks!

coz i'm on a really tight budget, so maybe i'll just get 2nd hand. thanks all!
