CRAZY Ebay hack that leaded to NO BUYER PROTECTION

Hi Everyone
Did you know that their are Ebay Categories that are Not eligible for eBay purchase protection programs !

For example ....
The Catagory

Collectible
Virtual & Crypto Collectibles

Are Not eligible for eBay purchase protection programs .


I thought I have seen it all on ebay.....

How about a seller that list ALL their items under specific eBay category ... ....

Collectible

"Virtual & Crypto Collectibles"

As a buyer on the platform you would never notice it .... when searching for an item over all categories

FYI the definition of "Virtual & Crypto Collectibles"

Virtual and crypto collectibles are cryptographically unique digital assets—often using Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)—that represent verifiable ownership of distinct items like art, virtual real estate, trading cards, or in-game items. Stored on the blockchain, these tokens guarantee scarcity and authenticity in the digital space.


These are for Digital based assets . ....


But low and behold .... a seller can list anything under any category ... But if you list it under
Collectible
Virtual & Crypto Collectibles

As a ebay buyer you have NO buyer protection from ebay.... Cause Ebay thinks the ITEMS are Digital Asset Based.

Any thoughts ?
Here is an example I pulled from ebay to night for a can rack .... ( NOT A DIGITAL ASSET ) Notice the fine print to the RIGHT OF THE RED ARROW on the bottom of the page !

I guess you can report suspicious seller activity to ebay.

I had a item come in damage , seller told me to report it .... I found out I cant. Nice huh?

Yea thats dodgy as, eBay probably aren't even aware of it as they tend to be slow to react to stuff like this.
