Safety should not be an issue as long as you tumble the coins after receiving them.. However, I personally wouldn't pay that high a markup... Overall it is kinda silly to use ebay to buy and sell btc as mt.gox and other exchanges do basically the same thing but much more efficiently.. thus the lower premium when buying.

some people buy them on ebay, pay using payp4l, then file a claim and get their btc back. ripping off the seller. p4ypal does not allow you to use it for buying "digital currency" and will refund money EVERY time. DON'T sell bitcoin on feebay, you will get scammed
