Same photos used for different listings

Hi folks,

I’m looking to buy a Game Boy Advance SP, as I searched I found this seller who has multiple of the same item. Each post has different prices and shipping, but they use the exact same pictures for every item.

Is this a scam? Is it normal to re-use the exact same photos for different listings?

They have great feedback, should I trust it?

Thank you in advance for any advice !

@oscopalivia ,

I've tried to look up the seller and can't find their listings. That could be because they do not ship to the U.S. as indicated by the prices for the listings being shown as Euros. I also cannot find your location because your profile page ill not open.

If you are not located in the U.S. you should login to your home country's ebay site and community.

Sellers should not be listing multiples of the same item as separate listings, unless they are preowned. There should be photos of each unit because they are preowned.

The seller could be a new or inexperienced one which you can tell by checking their feedback profile to see how many feedback they have for selling. They might have a fair number of feedback and a 100% rating, but all for buying not selling anything at least in the last year. If that's the case, they will likely run into other issues.

I would nit buy from that seller myself.
