The last two Sims I've bought have been Rise of flight which I bought off ebay and the DCS:A10 Open Beta which was bought online.
For me ROF and the buying of aircraft has been smooth and seamless. I would buy off them again. My experience with the DCS product has been very similar.
One of the problems I have where I live that it takes a two or so for items to get into shops compared with the otherside of the country. If I was given the oportunity top buy BoB staight from the distributors on the day it was released, I probably would. It is extremely fustrating reading forums like this with people saying how wonderful a sim is and not being able to get it!
Cheers
