Does anyone here in the community has seen this kind of contract? specially in a market place such as Ebay?
It really looks like veryscammy shady to me, 2 hours you will get xx BTC/ETH? Perhaps this is a new strategy for scammers and take advantage of Ebay?
What do you guys think?

@Yaunfitda this is definitely a scam, and FBI had already warned people to be aware of such scams taking place on reputed e-commerce sites like eBay and Amazon.
There are so many flaws in this trade to identify that it's an obvious scam.
1. They are selling a contract on ebay without actually providing a website for the mining.
2. It is similar to a cloud mining contract and as we all know most of the cloud mining is fake.
3. They are "promising" high returns and we all know HYIP is a scam.
4. The seller is definitely not trusted because he would be having a good rating if he was a genuine seller.
I can go on but these points are more than sufficient to identify the obvious scam.
you should probably report it so that other newbies don't get scammed by this.

Never seen this before, but you can smell that this is scam from a far. Don't bother to read those reviews, those for sure are fake. 0.01 ETH for two years is an offer that you can't refuse, those scammers are really a genius, know the psychology of human greed.
But thanks for the OP for exposing this kind of scam attempts in E-bay, as I have said, this is new to me, and I agree that this should be reported to stop these scammers.

@pawanjain I completely agree with your points, and hopefully all who read it will avoid falling for such scams. Lastly @Jating the review that you’re seeing are paid reviews, which are bought by the seller by contacting online workers who often post such reviews for a fix sum of money, hence I don’t trust any reviews I see online unless those accounts are verified.
