I would be wary about purchasing an oboe on e-bay or any other on-line auction site. Generally you would like to try the instrument out before you buy it and have a reputable oboe repair person look at. You don't want to get saddled with a lemon, no matter how strapped for cash or how quickly you need an oboe. That strapped for cash 'investment' may turn out to be a real money pit, spending more time in the shop than in your hands.
I have never purchased anything through e-bay but it seems that there are fair people out there. Make sure you read all of the 'reviews' of that seller they will be absolutely helpful.
Another alternative is a reputable double reed shop of which there are many that can help you, and if there happens to be a problem with the intsrument most will stand behind it for a period of time.
Good luck.
