I've found eBay to be quite buyer friendly when it comes to issues with items. However, they've thankfully been very rare and as Nick noted, it's always a good idea to check their feedback rating!
The original Z568 tubes are some of the nicest out there though.... I remember getting my hands on some from Ask Jan First almost 20 years ago... they're still working fine. Not sure you could say the same about some of the new tubes made these days...
