The thread indicates a shared concern about eBay's handling of scam issues without offering detailed descriptions.
I purchase a simple item. Lucky it was cheap.
But checking the shipment, it's arrived in my country for over a month and still not delivered.
So I did some googling.
REMOVED has being branded as a scam.
Ebay seems to be implicit in allowing that scam to go ahead by not calling out sellers using REMOVED as a delivery.
No kidding, I have ordered other items from China before the item and I've already received it. In good nick.
So Im giving this community ago to see what other buyer experience had being.
I have given <Removed> time to respond to my query and got nothing back.

Potential Scam Alert.
Items Advertised that do not exist with Sellers accepting transactions with no intention of posting Item/s.
The Buyer/s money is retained in Sellers Account earning Bank Interest.
Buyer receives deposited funds eventually after Complaint/s or a Requesting for Refund.
The Interest profit Seller receives over 30 days on Buyers Money may not seem much but over numerous Buyers transactions over an extended year or two or more may accumulate to profitable amount.
Having issues with Sellers using PFL Couriers the plot thickens buyer be aware.

What interest do you believe the seller gets from their own funds being on hold?
Plus warnings about PFL are numerous, so why buy from a seller who using them and then complin?
No use warning other buyers if you do not know the basics after 13 years yourself
