Social Engineered Goods

I constantly see items on paypal been so much cheaper than retail prices and from ebay sellers who arnt companys but just people.
I know that people can easily social engineer things like keyboards, headsets, mouses from companys like logitech, platronics, astro etc. But what should I do with people to who I think social engineer products should I report them to ebay or even is it safe to buy there items?

I don't see how you can report people for thinking that they're upto something, you need some proof ?0

If it is possibly a genuine post, what is he on about, "social engineering" is something completely different.
What are the chances that the OP has a link to a selling site with some of the items mentioned if he stays on these boards with a few more posts..0 -
