Hi juvel01!
I actually bought my first road bike ( raleigh cyclepro old model) from ebay this season. It was very cheap and that was the only thing I could afford at the time considering I had no clue if i will like it or not. The transaction was very smooth, and I dont think it should be a problem for you. There are many people out there who are low on finances and a used bike is what they want. Make sure you take good pictures , and I think you will not have a problem. Good luck
