[eBay] UT210E for an incredible price...

[rsjsouza]

Perhaps it is too good to be true, but yesterday I received a shipping confirmation (with tracking!) of the following listing:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/142753546651

I have no relation with the seller, just passing along what seems to be quite a good offer (which is extremely low risk for eBay/Paypal transactions). I hope to not receive a bag of rocks or a defective/reject equipment.

Hmm, too bad. I will let you know how this evolves.

If you check the tracking number, the package is probably going somewhere that is not your address

How does the scammer actually make any money off of this?  Do they just start up a bunch of auctions, get the money into their Paypal account, then disappear before the shipping time estimate runs out?

Probably. They're also known to use old and once legit accounts with a good reputation.
