Here's one called ecrater, marketed on its options to pay in cash via means like cash on delivery. So... here's someone selling normal stuff they get at the grocery store for nearly half the price. It sells just barely less than it costs to get the single item shipped. What a fucking hustler. Do you think they're lifting it, or eating the whole retail price? Something else? The whole shop is like this.
Its either coupons, or overstock stuff most likely. Both are extremely common, especially if its sold in quantity. Lifted stuff is typically a one off sale.
If the title is anything to go by, the seller is probably having a stroke. In all seriousness, I suspect these sorts of horribly written listings are the result of using voice-to-text to make the listing
Words words words. Another common sight is this, where the title is long, and written confusingly. Couple that with poor formatting and you get something almost totally incomprehensible
Another tantrum. Some folks just wind up learning the hard way that no one ever reads listing descriptions, and as we can see with this listing, some sellers just don't take it well.
Etsy is a slog to skim through now with how many obvious drop shipping and AI image scams are present on the site with absolutely no moderation to stop it. The AI scams are even worse because at least with the drop shipping ones, you at least got what you saw and ordered even if you got ripped off for it. With the AI image scams on crocheting for example, you don't even get a pattern that remotely resembles what you're anticipating to make, just weird abstract shapes that turn into nothing. You may have only lost a few dollars, but these jackasses can easily make hundreds of dollars (way more if they live in a country where USD/EUR is worth a lot more) off one scam shop by tricking people, and Etsy doesn't do shit about it. I know Etsy probably thinks why even bother if they're making money either way, but they're losing lots of users just from that situation alone, never mind the whole array of other issues plaguing the platform.

Misclick, or thinly veiled prostitution advert, you decide
These ones always crack me up. "Pay me for the privilege of taking away my garbage." This is about the worst I've seen where its basically all just literal garbage.

Depending on the location, 30k for a plot of residential land might be a steal if all you have to do is get a dumpster and clear away the trash. Not that I'd be volunteering.
This thread might be a good spot to link this. Was gonna post it in the overpriced ebay listings thread but it fits more here as it's a general thing summarizing the current state of online "sellers".
I was looking up something mildly related to how expensive everything is now in a search engine and found this ebay community thread from last year where someone complained about how scalpers keep buying up shit like hotwheels cars and relisting it at ridiculously high prices
Every. single post that isn't the guy is "uhhm actually that's not scalping because that term doesnt apply to toy cars it's just the free market maybe you shoudl do it too hmmm?"
this reminds me of the chinese pepe the frog bootleg sleeping eye mask people were sending around in like 2015-2018-ish.
Also have you guys seen the prices of used hotwheels lately? Look up "hotwheels flathead fury" if you want to die immediately. There's some recolors that are cheaper but for some reason the price of the red one has shot up to 500 and the black one to 200. The listings are also beat to shit these aren't even rare releases I don't know what the hell is happening with hotwheels right now. Every time I try looking up info on "why" this is it's just met wiht the standard "oh well VALUE overtime!" mumbo jumbo but this wasn't a rare or exclusive car, and they still seem to be making it every few years either in a deco similar to or different from the original red one. Kind of giving me the autistic urge to try and customize hotwheels cars despite me never even thinking of doing that in my life.
Anyone else notice Ebay sellers, especially drop-shippers, getting real shitty lately?
I had to order some parts, let's call them bolts for discussions sake, but very specific and I needed this particular one. One seller had them for sale as a pair, the bolt I needed and a similar bolt that I already had that they are commonly paired with. Great, I only needed the one but it was only $20 for the pair.
Ordered. Wait a week, no shipping label printed. Prod the US seller, he prints the label. Wait another week, still at "shipping label created" mode. Ask him if its shipped. Finally ships, takes a week to arrive. When it arrives the bolt I needed wasn't included, it was just the more common one I already had.
This dude sold product he didn't have, was hoping I'd wait the 3-4 weeks for him to order the bolt of aliexpress, package it and send it to me with his markup. When I began badgering him he didn't explain himself and ask for more time, he just sent me an incomplete order which he now has to pay return shipping on.
Ok so one bad seller.
Nope. That happened this month but this week I get another US seller who did the same thing. I ordered the specific bolt, he says he doesn't have it on hand but he has more coming in a shipment next week. Tell him to cancel my order. This is another guy selling the part, claiming he has it on hand but who is just drop shipping from aliexpress.
I think the drop-shippers are feeling the jet-fuel shortage and its taking longer for their packages to arrive from China. I knew Ebay drop shippers were a thing but both of these sellers were "pro" stores in the US who should've had this specific part in stock.
