Recently, a customer reported that he was cheated on eBay after buying a DualSense controller for the PS5, only to receive a custom whitewashed Xbox controller.
Reddit user ‘crihyde’ first reported the scam in a post on the subreddit r / Playstation, where he shared an image that clearly shows a standard Xbox One controller adapted to PS5’s DualSense control style. It turns out that the seller customized the controller using the bottom half of the black Xbox controller and the upper half of the white Xbox controller, which looks like the PS5 controller.
Since the launch of the PS5, many unscrupulous fans have fallen victim to scammers on eBay. Although buying on eBay is a risk, eBay has different customer protection schemes to protect buyers. While most sellers are honest, there are sometimes a minority of third-party sellers who want to earn quickly by playing the system.
Previously, many scammers were caught selling photos of PS5s and trying to trick customers into buying a photo of PS5 at the console’s MSRP. Since then, eBay has implemented several checks and assured its users that they ‘should certainly not suppress such offers and should accept such sellers legally. ”
