At least you hadn't shipped the MacBook out, to then get banned and lose the MacBook; which has certainly happened to a lot of people based on anecdotes I've read in the past.
I ended up selling the MacBook Pro locally via Facebook Marketplace, but only after rejecting 20+ people trying to get me to ship it across the country and paying me via PayPal.
I really do wonder often - at a certain point, does every company just simply become an anti-fraud service more than their original product? How much time and money do Google, eBay, Amazon, etc. spend fighting fraud? It’s unfortunate that businesses have to bake this kind of turmoil into their business model.
