BFL is a scam.
Yea, the only time I would buy one is if I used a escrow service.
I just report all ebay items as fraud. They have already confirmed that all those listings are fraudulent.
That is not an "allowed" sale-item, since there is nothing being sold. Report every one you see, so it stops fueling the "scam" fire.
I think I saw ONE honest listing related to an ASIC, and even that was, "questionable", but seemed legitimate, for the most-part. (Not worthy of a second look, because he was more greedy than those listings. lol.)

People don't get fooled!
Some of them want to be paid in BTC which is even more sketchy. Although in that case using an escrow service seems like it's be reasonable.
indeed scammers greed must be high nowdays 
Also I bet there is a bunch of scammers jumping on eBay trying to sell fake orders from BFL, stay clear in my opinion.
This thing reeks of scam 
I am skeptical about eBay when buying regular items, buying a ASIC that hasn't even shipped is scary.
Please noobs, dont trust anything you see on ebay related to ASICs right now
Yeah that's a hell of a risk because basically you have bought "nothing" so eBay Buyer protection may not cover it....
Plus you have to rely on the honesty of the seller to send you your rig once he gets it...and since it may be months from now even PayPal will not hold the money that long.
I asked a couple of them if they would defer payment until they actually get it in their hands and then allow me to pay them and they said no...
Now...I know you always want the money now...but if the "handshake" is done (i.e. you win the auction) you are bound to pay for it...so as the seller they are asking you to trust them with your cash but are not willing to trust you that you will actually send them the money once the rig is actually in the seller's own hands...
Definitely does not pass the smell test.

I saw some guys putting on BFL rigs and were 16k in line.
Your best bet are the ASIC miners from Butterfly Labs 
Doubly risky.
This is ridiculous! LOL There's even a guy trying to pawn off the 1500 GH/s rig
