could you send me a link to the model on ebay your talking about.
I have looked at the ebay ones many times and there are several that say they can do those sizes but when you read actual user comments you find that the dies that come with them are not sized correctly. The larger dies such as 00 are actually about a 0 to a 2awg. One of those made in china things.
I would throw down 68 bucks for a unit that actually had the real dies for crimping these big sizes in a heartbeat.
