I recently got money back from a scam seller, it took 3 months hammering ebay/paypal

It's become a lot more common. The sellers will either use a tracking number for somewhere close to you that they acquire somehow, or give you a long story about shipping via HK or somewhere and that you will receive another tracking number later.
I both cases, it seems like they try to get you to wait long enough for funds to be released. I assume it works out some times since these are becoming quite common...

I give you, the deal of a lifetime… :cool:
Lot of 2 Solidigm D5-P5336 122.88TB OPAL, FIPS U.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 Enterprise SSD price is set at 1772.99 USD. They’re even open to offers.. ;)

If my math is correct then that’ll be price of a whopping 7.2 USD/TB for PCIe gen 4 NVMe storage. Not bad…
I think the cheapest I’ve ever bought spinning rust for is around 5 USD/TB.

1 sold and 3 available at time of posting. Who dares to take a chance and hope to not receive a brick?!

You are 100% getting nothing - Out of Curiosity, I Bought a Camera on eBay Knowing It Was Likely a Scam

People use eBay as some kind of cash laundering / float system via these 0 review sellers. They list something super cheap, then attach an unrelated tracking number to the order - takes weeks to get your money back.

I don't understand how eBay's fraud insurance is okay with their total lack of any kind of system to detect and prevent this scam.

You’re with 100 % certainty correct! But man I’d love for it to be true one day….

EDIT: This seller even has cameras for sale as well… :p

Probably not the worst deal to miss. I bought the last one and received it today and it appears to be DOA. Can't see it in BIOS, Linux (dmesg), Windows (diskmgmt.msc) or via a USB to SATA adapter. Tried multiple PCs and even taped the 3.3V pin for giggles. Nothing.

The drive I received doesn't match the serial number of the auction/CrystalDisk Info screenshots, so I contacted the seller about a return/refund.

Did you test the Drive also via an HBA such as LSI 9211-8i ?

Did you try e.g. the "Crucial Power Reset Trick" ? That was originally for Crucial Consumer SSDs, not sure if it's also applicable to Micron SSDs. Maybe they do, since they share same Flash Memory Manufacturer and likely similar Controller.

About the Serial Number, to be fair, there appears to be 2 CrystalDiskMark Screenshots, both for the same Serial Number Device (Page 1 & Page 2 basically).

Granted he could have taken a couple other Screenshots and forgot/decided to not upload them for whatever Reason (that would have brought the total to 6, unless he included the Picture of the Device with the other SSD).

I find it a bit weird to believe that you got scammed, given that the Seller has a 100% Review Rating. Sure there are probably Ways they can suppress bad Reviews by contacting eBay Customer Service and use whatever Excuse they can find, but it's probably some Mistake or he forgot to test it (maybe it was already packed and didn't wanted to unpack+repack etc).

I dump on the AI companies every day. Even Supermicro sold us out, the lower end of the spectrum no longer exists, I had the eshop give me a $4000+ suggestion for a firewall, and that was before memory or storage was added, just a board, chassis, and the lowest processor in the series. All they really want to sell is now the giant AI servers that make them so much profit.
