There are many legitimate sellers in China operating via eBay and similar.
I recommend you check out their 'feedback rating' .. if they have > 1,000 transactions and > 98% they should be OK to deal with (even so, check the actual bad feedback .. some scam artists are more patient than others .. it's not too difficult to build up a lot of positive feedback 'selling' 1p 'ebooks' .. and then switch to £100 mobile phones and never deliver one ..)
If there is no independant 'feedback' system (where other buyers post comments) don't use that site..

EVERYTHING that I've gotten from China and Southeast Asia online... Have either stolen my money, or sent me fake merchandise. Every time!
