I bought some truly outstanding Tobeco Kayfun-Lite-Plus clones in 2014 from an ebay seller; I've also bought some kayfun clones from both ebay and own-site vendors that were crap. If something is made by a name you recognize, like Tobeco or EHPro, chances are it's a reasonable and legit deal; you kinda just have to check around and use your best judgement. Sometimes ebay doesn't have the best prices. Also, if it's a US vendor and they're using ebay and therefore paypal, it might go south, because neither ostensibly support buying/selling anything vape related. If it's from an overseas source, they can get away with it.

I never been directed to another site. IDK about that one. Never been done dirty. You can look at sellers profile history. But thats me alot of people dont.
An item to steer clear of on eBay are batteries. They are so easy to rewrap that counterfeits are rampant. I would only get those through a trusted vendor. I have heard of other items that turn up counterfeit on eBay, but it;s not nearly as prevalent, or as potentially dangerous as batteries.

Yes, absolutely this; this is where I started getting educated about this newfangled battery counterfeiting -- who'da thunk it!!
Never ever buy batteries from either ebay or amazon! Buy batteries from sources who never sell counterfeits, such as illumn.com and liionwholesale.com. Also, never buy already-made ejuice that way. I've seen too many reports of rip-offs, and because of the anti-vape policies, you have zero recourse with anything vape-related, from either ebay, amazon, or paypal. I do buy my PG/VG from amazon, because of Prime free shipping, and that's totally legit, excellent quality.Aside from batteries or pre-made juice though, anything else, use your best judgement after doing some checking around; you *might* find some good deals on legit hardware, or, the checking around might turn up better deals.

Personally I'd stay away form ebay for anything but wire. Wire seems ok to buy. But for everything else, there are plenty of reputable sites selling stuff just as cheap if not cheaper
Another great source for wire other than eBay is Temco http://www.temcoindustrialpower.com/index.html good prices and free shipping.

I like advancedvapesupply personally. I didn't have a good go with them but some people like crazywire as well
4 Kanger Tanks, 4 iJust2 kits, 2 eLeaf 40 watt TC and finally a eLeaf ipower 5000. All from eBay with no problems. I actually bought 1 clone on purpose, just to see how they were. Item still works but won't buy and more clones.
I say NO...
I bought a IPV2 in October 2014. I read all the seller reviews looking to see if the seller sold counterfeits or has had problems with other products they were selling. Reading the sellers reviews IMO makes or breaks my eBay buy. I bought a genuine IPV2 and now 2 years later its still making vape. There are a lot of sketchy sellers on eBay so just do your research before you buy.
Trust very few ebay sellers, VJ normally will point you correctly.
But in general fuck ebay.
Good vendors that always get checked out first in my book if I am hunting for stuff are.
101vape.
Ecig.com
Gearbest... check the us warehouse.. sometimes china shipping is retarded fast and never from the dutch... wooden shoe douche bags could not ship in a timely fashion if their lives depended on it. (going to get flack from some for suggesting this)
Heavengifts. Long time vape vendor.
VapeNW some get a hit or miss with them but always had good orders with them.
Batteries.
101vape.
Liionwholesale
Illumsupply.

Eciggity and vape royalty are solid sites if all the ones you listed don't have something.
