It looks like to me that the Wacom tablet on eBay is a very old version. I have not seen that product. I also have been researching Wacom tablets myself. It obviously depends on your need & budget. If you don't need much active surface area go for the Wacom Bamboo $99 or the small Bamboo Fun (about 6 in x 4 in active surface area. But if you want/need more like me you could go with the Wacom Bamboo Fun - Medium (about 8.5 in x 5.5 in active area) for about $199.

The Intuos line is very nice and they have some awesome large active area models, but they are very expensive which is a draw back if you are not a professional designer and would only use it for personal use. The Intuos line also has about twice the presure sensitivity capability than the Bamboo & Bamboo Fun models. Bamboo 512/ Intuos 1024...something like that.

Bottom line...you're gonna get what you pay for.
