How is it possible to scam people on eBay? | Selling on eBay

Over these past few weeks I’ve looked at hundreds of phone listings on Ebay and they’re all fake. Phones sold as new, sealed, never used, etc., when in reality they’re used or refurbished phones. There are dozens and dozens of sellers doing this, so it’s common practice. I’ve tried reporting some of these sellers to Ebay, with chat logs between me and the sellers, pointing out that the listing says the phones are new but then they admitted they weren’t in the chat, and nothing Ebay says it’s in line with Ebay policy.At the nth scam listing I ask myself: 1) how it can be possible that Ebay allows scamming. 2) How this crap can be put to an end.
