Originally posted by dcshooter On ebay, even if the item is listed as no returns, you can return the item if it arrives with undisclosed damage. You just open an item not as described case. Unless the item is listed "as is" or "for parts/repair," eBay pretty much always sides with the buyer in resolving these cases.
You are absolutely correct. Considering OP likely will buy internationally, it is a pain to return stuff. Probably worth paying a little extra from someone with excellent feedback, who appears to know about lenses...
Good luck!

BTW make sure you don't get the Pentax f 70-200mm - that one does not have the SMC...
