I would stay away from ebay. You can get real lemons or at least bikes that require some mechanical know-how to get up and running correctly. The problem is that you have no idea how smoothly that bike is setup from the pictures.
Stick with a local bike shop that can help you find a properly sized bike (they should do a fitting for you for free). Buy something that fits both you and your budget now and worry about carbon fiber and upgrades later on. The key right now is to get some knowledgeable people to help you through the process (in person).
