With the PS5 still in short supply, eBay has issued a warning to PS5 scammers posting deceptive listings on the popular auction site. Fake PS5 listings seem to abound, as a Utah man was given a block of concrete after paying $878 (about $660 / AU$1,180) to secure Sony's new console, which arrived in a box. actual PS5 box. According to Fox News, the man notified police and was asked to contact eBay Buyer/Seller Protections, but warned that users should proceed with caution when purchasing items from sellers who have no feedback. Of course, this isn't the first erroneous PS5 listing on eBay. The company recently issued a statement to Eurogamer condemning sellers who tried to defraud users desperately looking for where to buy the PS5. "We condemn these opportunistic sellers who try to deceive other users," eBay said in its statement. “We are in the process of removing all PS5 photo ads from our marketplace and will take appropriate action against sellers. eBay stressed that users should be careful when ordering "in-demand items" from sellers and read the listing carefully. Some users have fallen into the trap of buying pieces of paper with the word "PS5" written on it, for example. "With any purchase, but especially for items that are very expensive or in high demand, buyers should exercise caution and carefully read the listing description. Buyers who receive an item that does not match the description are entitled to a refund through our eBay Money Back Guarantee, provided they have completed the transaction on the eBay platform."
