I've bought stuff from China on ebay before. You just have to look at the feed back and stuff, just like with sellers in NorthAmerica.
In fact, with the help of a friend in Beijing, I bought stuff from Taobao, which is like China's ebay.
I was buying stuff for my bike, which is Chinese, and awesome.
