I'm sure you've seen these recently..... Not the people selling JPEGS. I mean the people getting their eBay accounts hacked and Selling things like 1660Ti for £150 BIN with More that 10 Available in the Quantity.

Sadly I think its catching out lots of people mainly due to the fact the accounts has high positive feedback as they have been hacked.

I saw one today where a 1080 was priced at £98, More that 10 Available and Sadly 16 Sold! 16 people that will have to go through the hassle with PayPal to get the money back
 
I used to be a huge fan of ebay but I really think they have fallen apart over the past years. They used to be a place where people sold all their old tat and almost every auction started at 1p. You could get some genuine bargains. Everyone was a good seller and buyer! But as the years rolled by, the greedy realised there was potential to commit crime and get away with it. People found loopholes in the system and started ripping each other off. At the same time, ebay encouraged people to use buy-it-now instead of auctions. Slowly the 1p starts disappeared to be replaced with "what the seller thinks it's worth", and there was a huge influx of cheap and faulty goods back of course by no guarantees and poor customer service from ebay. The end result is that anyone who buys from ebay pretty much deserves what they get. I stopped using them years ago.
 
Oh I have my friend, I always keep an eye on eBay for the madness to be honest, Picked up a 2070S yesterday on OC's B stock. Just cant believe people are still getting away with this

Thats exactly whats going on all the time now with the GPU market being so messed up. Its simple, Just put a temp block on multiple items being listed such as GPU's. Atleast then a human can check the listing 1st
