A great way to murder your ebay account.
This does not harm scalpers at all. They are not trying to buy, just sell.
This does not effect bots buying GPUs from amd/nvidia/etc at all. The bots people hate are used to buy direct from the supplier, not ebay.
This just annoys buyers. It does not reduce the demand. It does not effect the price.
I find it quite annoying. I check ebay from time to time to get an idea of the real value of these cards. Never bought one off of ebay, but I am totally ok with imprisoning the idiots who are posting fake auctions. Putting digital edition in the description contradicts the title, and is misleading. As I get older my tolerance for annoyances/fraud simply has disappeared.
If you think about it, this is intentionally attempting to trick someone about the nature of the product they are buying. Yes, they might be to excited to read it closely. Fraud is defined as "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain". If Ebay became grouchy some day, they could complain to an attorney general and a whole lot of people are looking at prison as their next stop.
In the unlikely event I am unable to avoid jury duty, they are going down for all counts with a recommendation to the judge for the max sentence.
