Against my better judgement, I am watching a transmitter only for sale on ebay. Futaba. If I would buy this, would I have to get a Futaba flight pack or can I buy any manufacturers flight pack of the same frequency. If this is the case, there must be some other specifications other than frequency that I have to match in order for this to work

For the flight pack, you'll need what's called a negative shift receiver. Either futaba or hitec (there may be others, I'm familiar with both of those). JR and Airtronics are positive shift. The receivers are pretty much mix and match.
Just as an aside, I would hesitate to buy a used transmitter on ebay. There are several online stores that sell tx only (servocity, brucner hobbies, do a search, I don't have the url's handy). They are reasonably priced and come with the regulary factory warranty.
