"weren't scammed" might have been a better choice of words, which they said one post up.

I said there are lots of scam listings. And then discussed a second issue which is fake listings that are designed to launder money. There are both. Some of the fake listings are obvious: way under priced, listings for “original boxes” not the actual computer. So that’s why I don’t want to buy off of eBay for this category. But I did also buy what appeared to be a reasonable listing and it was canceled. I can’t prove why but two sided money laundering is a known thing
Ah, I see what you mean now.
