Roll the dice.
I didn't mean to confuse other people, just assuming that the majority of the ebay chinese frames are from open mold designs. I agree with you that it is a risk, so that's why if it were me, I'd much rather buy something like a CAAD frame/frameset for basically the same price off ebay.
I wonder if there really is a big advantage in some of these chinese carbon frames over something like a CAAD9/10 (or some other big name frame for the same $) for the purposes most people are using them for?
