The last time I tried to sell something on eBay, it was an RX 490 card. A buyer with an obviously fake profile pic clicked the "Buy It Now" button, and then shortly after I received a forged PayPal payment confirmation email with links to .ru domains. The shipping address was one of those international drop-shipping places in New Jersey (to get around the "only shipping to US addresses" restriction). So basically, total obvious scam. I collected the evidence and submitted a report to eBay's fraud department. After the required waiting time I submitted a nonpayment report and got a credit on my eBay account about a week later. It took another 2 months to get a check because they told me that they were having operational issues because of the pandemic. A year later I checked to see if the scam account was still active, and sure enough it was. Not sure how blatantly obvious scammers who get detailed reports of faudulent activity reported to eBay's fraud department manage to keep their accounts active, but it seems kind of impressive.
