I ordered a pair of brand new Sportscraft pants from a seller who had multiple color and size options plus various pieces of the same brand for sale on their profile. The pants were one third of the retail price, included free shipping, I assumed it was from a closing down sale or something. The pants arrived, direct from a store near my home, for the full price, including express shipping, the receipt was in the bag showing the item had only been purchased the day after my eBay order was placed. My parcel had my name spelt incorrectly and the wrong mobile number (so never received the auto tracking info from Australia post like I normally would). Maybe a coincidence but still odd. I have heard of drop shipping but this seems far more suss and I can’t work out what they gain from this?
