1. Person does not sell these regularly, all feedback received is from cute school accessoires, no feedback at all for tech.
2. Has a home projector for 23 USD.
3. Suddenly starts selling these and all sold come from 2 days of sales.

Why post this in best deals? You are luring people into wasting their time on a dumb PayPal claim. I understand the idea behind it but this account is obviously hacked.

It does not take much to spot an outright scammer. I have not lost a penny to ebay scams in more than 10 years. Also ebay and paypal are pretty good at reversing obviously fraudulent transactions. Currently my biggest pet peeve is immature and irresponsible sellers. Some of those have caused me to waste more time and money than any scammers ever.

Clue
$16 for 480gb SSD , price too good to be true.

Second Clue
Oversea shipping , Ebay allow longer shipping windows for oversea seller (i.e. 30days shipping)
Giving scammer more time.
Buyer would not be able to file a claim indside the 30 days shipping period.
Buyer would have to wait greater than 30 days to file a claim, another few days for Ebay refund your money.

I thought the guy was being sarcastic.

Thanks for the information.
When I looked at the auction it did not immediately trigger any warning for me. I figured Microcenter sells their house brand SSD for $3x something and the product being used $16 was low but not completely unrealistic.
