I do wire transfers to Canada somewhat frequently. I don't think it's insecure. However, I suggest speaking to your banker about it. The transfers I do are with known vendors and you're talking about unknown ebay auction bidders. Check with your banker (you do know your branch manager, right?) and talk to him/her about account security before you make a decision. You might be able to open an account just to accept the wire transfers then move them into your regular accounts.
But since wire transfers usually are inter-bank transfers, they're pretty secure payment methods.
But again, talk to your banker.
