That, sir, is a fairy tale.  If you're a seller on eBay you're more
concerned with your reputation (and receiving positive feedback).
Unlike you, of course.  How many BBB complaints is it now??  25??

If you do anything through eBay, they have their own buyer protection
policy.  If you're going to buy alarm parts (on eBay), check out the
sellers reputation.  If you're going to purchase product online (from
*any* vendor), look for the "BBB Online" logo.  That, at least, assures
you that they address customer concerns promptly and efficiently (and
that they actually *answer* their phones and email).
