Ebay shenanigans

so I have list of certain aftermarket parts I usually keep on a watch list and every here and there they randomly end with no buyers. well after a new search for the part. I find the same exact part, same pictures, every but all under a different seller. I've now watched this happen 3-4 times now.

What the hell is going on with these people? as far as i can see, they just abandon an account with hundreds of reviews with 99%+ being positive reviews. is there something im missing?

I've seen sellers use multiple ID's...for whatever reason...

And also they use secondary ID's to buy stuff, then flip it with their primary ID. Helps to hide some of the more obvious flipping behavior.

It could just as easily be Sleeze-Pay booting out sellers for no reason, who then start up another identity.
