Here's a fun one. Around 2 1/2 weeks ago I sold a package of Amiibo on ebay. Some dumbass buys it, never pays. Never responds to 2 invoices, ebay process goes, I get money back. I re-post yesterday (they're doing 5 days of free listings now) and it was gone in under 18 hours and for a little more money too (dude ebay mailed me a $75 shipped offer that cost me $6 to ship vs the moron getting it for $60.)
Now what was odd is that I got curious, looked up the street address checking the pay for postage screen and checked it on google. It's a legit business, problem is, the business is being used by a ring of thieves somehow using the address but then deflecting the mail to another drop location so they can steal goods and claim they never got them. For some reason they never paid on my stuff which was good. Seems they like faster moving more expensive stuff and will fight hard to steal stuff too, not all passive aggressive like. People suck and ebay attracts all kind of leaches.
Here's the yelp profile I got all the hate comments from about shady business as it started here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/aeropost-miami
Edit this is what really tipped me off, because it was odd to me too I saw this exact behavior on the mailing address as well so I know it was the same scam circle:
"If you run any kind of small online business or sell on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, etc....be aware of Aeropost orders - it will say on your payment information. They don't use their own name to ship, so it looks like it's going to an individual, but you can tell by the order numbers attached to the address which look like this: LIM - 37023"

I've shipped stuff to this place before without issues, so YMMV. Basically it's people trying to have a US proxy and avoid the shitty ebay global selling program. But having the risk alone makes it a good reason to be wary I suppose.

I was talking to a book seller who uses pricing software.
He had some glitch where a bunch of stuff ended up on Ebay that he didn't own. He didn't realize it until some 100 items were sold. Ebay shut him out for 4 years.
