I got my 550d from Amazon a few months ago for £500 (and there was £30 Canon cashback at the time). Camerapricebuster lists Amazon as the cheapest still now at £513 for body only.

Me personally, I wouldn't get the eBay one. Its £420 now, with a week left. Let's assume it goes to £450 at cheapest. For the sake of £60 you're losing all piece of mind. He could be an honest seller and the warranty is genuine. But Dixons are notorious for difficult returns and that's on the assumption they wouldn't give you a hard time as you weren't the original buyer.

Yes, the eBay one has a lens and memory card, but I for one can't afford to throw over £450 down the drain and I think the saving versus risk is not worth it.
 
You should keep an eye on the argos/currys ebay pages as well as the forum sale pages for better deals tbh.
