On the contary, I think ebay is an excellent way to find a car.
Compare it for instance with auto trader. On auto trader you get a postage stamp of a photo and about 20 words.

Hmmm. Good point but what if the car doesn't look as good in the flesh - poor respray etc. What if you find some fault that the owner doesn't know about - can you renegotiate the price are you bound by your original bid?

Well the ebay rules regarding binding contract etc. must be predicated on the item being described accurately. If you turn up and find a dodgy respray when the description stated otherwise, regardless of whether the seller claims knowledge or not, then the so called contract is on dodgy ground. I think it is unlikely that ebay would step in and enforce a sale!
The way I look at it (IMHO) I would have the right to negotiate or walk away.
