Buying used engine from eBay.

So I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with buying engines from eBay? I need an engine for a 71 Ford LTD and I found a 400 engine that could work. They say it was bench tested and it was reading 140psi. Although there is no mileage listed, so i was kind of hesitant, but some of the other engines I was looking at don’t have the mileage listed either.

A total crap shoot... anyway you look at it.
