If you surrender the goods and have a plausible reason for not knowing that they were stolen then you won't be prosecuted. You will be SoL on getting your money back unless you bought from the worlds most scrupulous fence though.

It's a risk when you buy anything from eBay or the like, but the overall risk is small enough that the savings are justified usually.
