Tim Card from eBay? or purchase in Italy

My suggestion is always to buy prepaid sim-cards once you are in Italy. I think at FCO there should be both TIM and Vodafone shops, while probably no Wind shop. Registration is really not a problem. If you create your own "Codice Fiscale" (all instructions are on the Italian page on this website, on National Operator section) it could be even easier.

Buying them on eBay is expensive and you could have registration problems and also prompts in Italian. Go at an official shop in Italy and you won't have any problem.
