Auction keeps getting cancelled. Could this be an advertisement for a fake website?
I see several auctions for different expensive electronics items where the title has a website surrounded by green checkmarks. the website is aronvy.com. This seems very suspicious to me.
How can we verify that this is a real auction?
There is no way I am going to go to the website. Is there a way to talk to someone at eBay?

Mentor1 year agoThe seller is posting an auction as a means to advertise the seller's site.
At best, that is a blatant policy violation, which is why the listings are removed by eBay. Sellers that are willing to violate policy like that should not be rewarded for their antisocial behavior.
Scammers often resort to such tactics to advertise their scam sites, since the sites come and go so quickly.

OP1 year agoYes. That’s the way it looks to me.
I would only buy from them on eBay. I do not want to even go to their website.
thanks for your help.
