Persian Wool

Has anyone bought a Persian area rug from eBay?

I am looking for a Persian area rug (8 x 10)--have seen some really nice all wool ones on eBay. I have a limited budget and would like to stay around $250.00 Even with the shipping charge, they appear to be a good deal. Has anyone purchased one via eBay--were you happy? Does anyone have any suggestions about other places to look? I do not have any particular colors in mind--

If you find an 8 x 10 "Persian" rug for $250.00 on eBay, you may be sure that it is not a handmade rug. It may be machine made, often Belgian, Persian-inspired, hand tufted or some other type of description but it will not be a genuine Persian hand knotted rug. It is easy to be fooled unless you read the description of the rug very carefully. I would suggest going to a knowledgeable dealer in your area and looking at his rugs and discussing them. They are often happy to help you.
