I wouldn't buy any raw cards of real value (>$100) off EBay. But if you do, make sure you study the reputation and rating of the seller. As a general rule, do not buy from a new seller unless they make extremely accurate descriptions of the card you're interested in. Avoid any seller who provides a personal grade of a raw card that is higher than what you would grade the card upon inspection.
For any raw card of any value (and this probably goes for mid-grade slabs as well), write a note to the seller and ask if the card has creases or wrinkles. It's very easy to not show these in a photograph. Pay attention to the way the seller communicates to you in private mails as well as the way they describe the cards.
Good luck.
