and per chance - what would you do if the auction doesn't get anywhere near the value of the coin? say it stops at 10k? you really going to sell it for 10k? or would you just peel it and send a redeemed coin? or not send it at all? there is a lot of risk to someone buying it this way as ebay will not insure/cover the "load" value.
Wonder what ebay would say about the item arriving "damaged" or not as described? I know ebay is super hit or miss on buyer protection, but it seems like if you filmed yourself opening it and all that you might have a shot at getting a refund based off the sticker being "Destroyed"?
Just spit balling here, I would kill to buy it at that price but also don't have faith it would show up funded either lmao.
I am not referring to the specific case of the seller (I do not want to accuse or speculate on anyone).
The accounts were registered with stolen/dummy documents
A seller receives this amount.
He withdraws/removes the funds from this bank account.
Even if ebay sends the account into the negative/red nothing happens.
The buyer is not reimbursed because ebay cannot attack the funds.
There is a similar scam where instead the buyer is the "attacker" but in practice when the seller tries to recover (legitimately) from him... ebay finds the account empty and it's all gone.
Now, in this specific auction, if the loaded item COULD NOT be sold on ebay, the listing will simply be closed or in case of disputes it will be a great pain for the buyer...
