This is just my two cents here...I've been selling and buying stuff from ebay for years and I've only been screwed once. Most everybody is honest and fair. I like ebay and I continue to shop ebay. In fact...I just bought a brand new, sealed, Little Mermaid DVD for my wife from ebay earlier this week. I think I won the auction on Tuesday and it came today. I have a happy wife...so I have a happy life, lol.

So basically I've bin looking at eBay the wrong way for years lol but alright
So I'm still pretty new to the heli hobby, but what are some things I should get aluminum for my blade 450, like some common things. For example most people would get aluminum knuckles, and/or blocks for a 1-8th scale buggy, so what's common for a heli

In all honesty, for the Blade, I would keep it all stock. If you want to bling something out, then I would suggest upgrading to Align or the like. Being new to the game, learn how to fly without crashing, then start loading up on all of the bling. If you crash, and want to upgrade, then that is a good time to do it. but until then, stock is good. Most LHS's carry stock parts for this heli but they dont' carry the metal stuff.
As for eBay, there are good, and there are bad out there just like anything else. If you look at that sellers rating, he has over 22K (22,000, twenty two thousand lol, just had to stress this point) feedback points and a thumbs up rating of 99.9%. You just dont' get any better than that. being in a business, you are going to have members or customers that are just not happy. Some may just have a hot head and some may genuinely have an issue with something and leave a negative feedback without even trying to get it resolved. It happens, you just smile and walk away.
However this is where PayPal comes in REALLY handy. They have buyer protection on most all of their purchases. So if a member tries to screw you over, PayPal will do what they can to get your money back. Just like a credit card company.
So in short (too late huh? lmao), Ebay can be a great place to get great deals such as these knobs. Just look at a sellers feedback. If they are below about 88% or so, I will not buy from them. However if they are that low, I'm going to read the feedbacks and see what hte issue was. If it's something that has to do with shipping around the holidays, then it's not their fault. If it's with a specific item that I'm NOT looking at, I blow it off and order from them.
Hope this helps.

Ok here's another thing ( my throttle trims a almost a zero so I hover at like 2/3rds throttle) but when I get to 2/3rds throttle or just a little bit under that my heli has a lot of tail wobble, it moves up and down, once I do give more throttle to get the heli up in the air the wobble goes away is this normal?

Did you mean that your ESC is a 35A? Either way it doesn't matter how big yoru battery is. You can run a 1 million C battery. Voltage means more with an ESC than amps. Remember, your motor PULLS the power, the battery doesn't PUSH it. this is why I say to get your motor, then match your ESC and battery to it.
As for your second question, I'm not sure what would cause that. Can you post a video of what it's doing?

It may be your Throttle curve...... let us have a look at your throttle curve and pitch settings and see..... you may be not pulling enough RPM at lift off (Low head speed) ... but hard to know without seeing your setup.
what ESC are you using? Sometimes Cheap and nasty ESC's just give rubbish performance and motor speed matching. Have you set up your ESC properly ... just plucking at straws really at this stage until more info flows
