Big problem brewing with fraud...
ebay has a big fraud problem brewing. Search for 8tb m2 ssd. You'll get lots of listings at impossible prices from sellers that have registered in the last few days.
My bet is that as soon as someone buys the item, the seller deletes their account and runs with the money for an item that never existed.
Of course, ebay's generous guaranteed money back will eventually reimburse the buyer, but ebay needs to get a handle on this before they lose a ton of money, and credibility.

Mentor6 months ago@jeffreyastewart I agree that bad buyers can be a problem, this is true on any marketplace site. However new sellers funds are not released until at least a few days after tracking shows delivery but it can be up to 31 days.
eBay can force a refund from the seller even after they close down the sellers account.
A seller can not close their own account within 60 days of the date of the sale.
If an account is closed sooner after a sale or purchase then that means eBay closed the account.
