Ripoffs abound | Buying | eBay Community

I would like to pose a question to EBay personnel to find out how they are getting ripped off by fake sellers and seemingly are not doing anything about it. I fell for one the other day for over $200 and had Ebay refund me for this non-existent item I bought all because of the "eBay Money Back Guarantee".Specifically this happened with a DJI Drone but I am sure it is going on in a big way with many other items. When I am logged into my account, I keep items I'm watching under "saved searches". I usually receive an email daily from EBay highlighting items matching my search. I responded to and bought one item at what I thought was a great price.Shortly after making the purchase, I discover that the user is "no longer available" and my red flags started flying. Today's email of an item I am following contains ten instances of the exact same item, all listed as in New condition and each and every one is "Buy It Now" priced at $230.Here is a screenshot of this listing.

If this is the only item listed, ding ding ding * avoid like the plague *, unless you enjoy getting ripped off and then having to go through all the motions with Ebay in pursuit of a refund.
