I am a long time purchaser and seller of cosmetics on eBay. I'm no professional, but over the years I've learned a few things from my experiences and I thought I might share some with you. It's not dangerous, I know a lot of people might disagree, but if you do it correctly you really can get some great deals.
• Check the sellers reviews. For every item for sale you can look at the seller. And their reviews, if there are any that are negative read through them and research a little. If you see any that say the item was wrong or used DO NOT BUY.
• Read all of the descriptions carefully. People like put a few negative things in their small print. Look for anything suspicious, and steer clear if it just doesn't sound right to you.
• Don't buy anything that is said to be a tester. These items can be used and maybe even empty. They are significantly cheaper, but it's not worth it to get an unsanitary item.
• Look for the items that are "Buy Now" instead of bidding. Usually these are in bigger quantities and it's more likely that they are legit.
• Don't be afraid to keep checking back. You can usually find anything you are looking for.
• Don't buy MAC brushes in quantity at low prices, they are fake!
• Do your research on the item so that you can determine if it is fake. Look at the packaging on other websites and make sure they match up.
I really hope this helped a little. Like I said you really can find some great deals if you do it right. Don't be afraid, just be careful!
