Nice, catch, just recently, I have seen this in Ebay:
BTC/ETH contract in Ebay, looks very shady???. So by now it's obvious that Ebay has been taken advantage of scammers as well. Personally, I haven't heard of Ebay being used by crypto bad actors, but it seems I'm very wrong. Every platform that they can used as a tool to cheat/scam others, they will do it in a heartbeat.
What strikes me too shady is the number of sold items. 45 sold
And also the feedback left by other users:
http://archive.vn/HPjnzSomething is not adding up. On eBay exchanging feedback is not that easy besides most of these users have good reputation. So, how it's possible?
One ground I can think of:
- There is a gang who are doing these feedbacks in between them
But this is not going to be that easy with ebay also there are no way that anyone can afford to give $2500 to every buyer who are spending $3 to buy their card.
Actually, there's a whole gray market built on buying and selling feedback
You can easily get like 10 positive feedback for $2, ranging from new to old accounts.
From what i can tell, many ebay accounts are compromised and someone/group has access to thousands of them
What they do is they buy an item, give feedback, and then "return" the item and get refund. Trick here is the item is never sent, but for some reason feedback remains.
