You're considering buying a new, carbon fiber bike from an ebay supplier. Where do you go if you have any frame warranty issues? For that kind of money, I'd be looking locally for brand I can hold accountable. Just my $.02.
BTW, After riding nothing but Shimano, I now have a couple of Campy bikes. I don't think they're any better or any worse than Shimano, about the same. IMHO it's all personal preference.
