Anyone bidding $60,000+ for an RTX 3080 on eBay is either faking it or crazy

I read a thing that they're doing this to scammers, and then not paying. To screw over the scammers who bought out the whole stock right at launch, so they can't unload their inventory. Basically they're gaming ebay to try and teach the scammers a lesson.
But now no one has access to the cards, they all got bought in the primary market by scammers, and then the secondary market is being flooded by tactics like this. It's kind of bizarre tbh

Won't work on smart scalpers.
All they have to do is make it a fixed price listing. Set it at $1,200, tick the box to require instant payment when the buy button is clicked.
Problem solved.

Ebay compensates the buyer all the time, even if its a scammer.

Not always Jesus, eBay has fucked me a few times. They almost always side with the buyer, that's true, but not 100%.

Yeah I've had fraudulent buyers say they never received what I shipped them, and then ebay gave them all their money back from paypal ($450 in this case), and then I was banned from paypal. For them stealing my money and my childhood legos I sold them. So I never used ebay again. Paypal and ebay should go out of business

What do you recommend? The owner of Ebay is the billionaire behind Glen Greenwald and the controlled opposition progressive left.
