I'm hunting for a used Fujifilm GFX100/100s/100s II, and noticed a weird Ebay trend where sellers with zero transactions have listed precisely two items: an expensive camera body and a "vintage" t-shirt with a description that may or may not match the photo.

Here's one example of about a half dozen I've noticed over the past two weeks, but it happens with other camera bodies, too (Canon R5m2, Sony A7R, etc).

There's no way in hell I'm buying from any of them ... but why the t-shirt?

I've never seen this particular situation, but I'm always leery of zero-feedback sellers. I'd probably just stay away, but if you're curious, start by asking the seller a question about the camera through Ebay. It doesn't matter what the question is, you're just testing his knowledge of the merchandise and his attitude about the sale. I'd bet money you get no answer at all, and that should be a dealbreaker.

I am very disappointed in eBay, and will never buy anything from them again. I currently have three disputes with my credit card company, all related to eBay. When I tried to return or request a refund from eBay, they refused all of them. With one, I never got the product, and the delivery proof contains the name of someone who does not reside at my house. The other two involve defective items. And, now, there is no way to contact eBay and speak to a human❓

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
