Damage from ebay can be a real issue, there are certain ebay seller that only sell collectors games and items and as such pack the best and have a fantasic return policy.
I use a specific one in the UK ebay who is very good. Don't know any in canada though. If you really want it and in the best condition, I think you will have to order from Amazon with the game.
I for one will be taking the small risk and purchase on eBay afterwards and simply ask the item to be shipped in a box.
Remember that with eBay, the seller is responsible for items until is arrives in the advertised condition. If the seller tries to tell you it was insured and that you should apply for a claim. DON'T. The claim should always be made by the seller.
All you have to do is open an case on ebay stating the item is not as described, the seller will be force to adhere to the rules of ebay and either accept a refund with you either shipping the item back or he /she paying for the postage back.
You could also work out a partial refund. Either way you are protected very well with eBay and Paypal. The seller is the one unprotected. ( speaking from past experience as past seller on ebay.
Hope this helps.

Thanks!
I think I'll go for the ebay. 191 american if I go amazon vs 170 Canadian if bought from local EB Games.
I'm not very familiar with pricing for collectible posters, you said that it'll be around 2-3 Euros? (5ishCAD)
