There is always some risk when buying on ebay whether the seller is in the UK, EU or further afield.
I've personally had no problems buying from sellers in China or Hong Kong, but the most expensive item was just over £40, and my first question is "can I afford to lose it if things go wrong ?"
Sometimes there is no alternative available from a UK or EU seller, so the option to proceed has to be a personal choice.
I would look at the sellers reputation.
Check postage details, will there be extra customs costs etc
Take into account how long for delivery, while postage from china can take over 30 days you should check with ebay as to procedure if the item hasn't arrived within that time. Offering a 30-day money back is useless if the damn thing is still in the post after that time limit (and delays can happen even with decent traders)
In the end only you can decide to buy or not to buy.
