I would stay with a known good local rebuild shop or go a dealer factory rebuilt.

Not to be a smart ass but "ebay" doesn't sell transmissions. They are just a conduit for someone else to sell you a product. The process is always pretty much the same but the quality and service is going to depend on the person selling you the transmission. Check the sellers feedback closely and check auctions from multiple sellers to make sure the prices are in line. Watch out for shipping prices!!! That seems to be the latest trick on e-bay.. sell you an item for a low low price and then charge out the kazoo for shipping. E-bay only charges the seller a percentage of the selling price so it is an easy way to cheat the system.

Personally if it was me I wouldn't buy a transmission from e-bay. The shipping expenses would surely take a big bite out of your savings. E-Bay sellers can be kind of hard to find again if you have an issue. If that transmission craps out in a month will you still be able to find them for service?
