I agree. The first thing that makes me think it is a scam is the backgrounds of the items listed. Typically, anyone that has a website trying to sell anything has the same background on the scans or pictures. All pictures on that site look like they were copied from other listings.

Can someone please explain the allure of selling stuff you don't have on eBay? You're gonna get hit with a refund request. What am I missing?

Yep - You can absolutely buy crypto with Paypal (at least on CoinBase which is what I use)

I suspect the scam works like this: (1) sell several cards you don't own quickly. For hypothetical purposes, let's say you sell 50 cards at an average price of $1000/ea in a three day period (you can price at a major discount, since you don't plan to ship the actual cards; (2) spend the Paypal balance quickly on something relatively untraceable (maybe gold or crypto - not sure how easy it is to use Paypal funds for crypto); (3) maybe ship a bunch of "wrong" valueless cards to stall the Ebay/Paypall refund process for a few extra days; then (4) when Paypal goes to reverse the transactions, there is no money in the scammer's Paypal acct., and presumably no account on file from which Paypal can claw back the money. So, at best, Paypal has a legal claim that it can try and enforce against the scammer - but this is expensive and time consuming (and often futile) - or it just writes off the loss. If the scammer is successful, they rinse and repeat with a new Paypal/Ebay account.
