If the seller is a power seller, has 98+ % positive feedback, is there a reason for me to be skeptical of this? Not refurbed, brand new in the box items, claims no "grey market", whatever that is.

I'm not TERRIBLY concerned about having a warranty issue, but with the money saved with a kit deal, even if I had to pay for a repair outside of the initial 1-year you get with these cameras, it'd probably still be cheaper unless something HUGE went wrong.

Thoughts?

I'm not a very seasoned e-bayer, but you might want to check how many transactions the seller has as well, and check out other merchandise they're selling. If they sold 3000+ powder puffies worth a buck and have one high dollar item like a d-slr, I'd be wary that their rating is based on a bunch of no value easy to acquire and sell trinkets used to beef up their ratings. I've purchased a 400mm f5.6 L USM, 1.4x II, and an EOS-3 on e-bay, and not been burned, but maybe I just got lucky too. Actually, I'm 4 for 4 on not being burned on e-bay, but I'm still wary ;)
