Are fruitcakes running rampant on eBay lately? Selling, buying, listing, feedback, etc...

LEGO Reseller: "Hey Grandma, I signed you up for a new eBay account -- I'll handle everything from here"

Sorry not lego related, but hoping someone is knowledgeable on this question.  

I'm reviewing a seller's historical feedback.  The seller has been a member since 2022.  When I click on the ebay link of their most recent sale/positive feedback, it takes me to a completely different seller.  What's going on here?

On the right side of the blue bar, click "view original listing" to see your seller's item.

My guess is eBay F'd up the link

 

This is the actual sold listing from your seller (same title: Size 10 ...)

The one you linked was me, lol.  This review I shared above existed before I purchased.  I just didn't click the link in the review until things started to seem a little shady with the seller.  2 shipping days have now gone by and they haven't shipped off to authenticator yet so I reached out to seller.  Seller shared that they are waiting for the shoes to arrive so they can ship to authenticator.  They are hoping to receive them in a couple days.  That caught my attention.  Seller now saying previous buyer cancelled after being shipped to authenticator so seller is awaiting for them to be returned so can be shipped to auth for me.  My personal opinion is never list an item for sale until/unless it is in your possession.  Now I'm just pissed at the seller because I'm waiting at least an extra 4 shipping days on an item I perceived was available when I purchased.  Doesn't help that it's a Christmas gift.  

*Disregard all this... I now realize it's just another thing I can't stand about how ebay operates.  When you click on the link to view the sold listing of which was reviewed, it takes me to another current listing of the same shoe because the one I was accessing is sold.  How stupid.  You then have to click another link to get to the listing for which the review was for.  If I wanted to see other suggestions I wouldn't be clicking on a link from a review.  I swear some of this crap that is developed isn't ever tested from the users perspective.

I never understood how some eBay sellers operate like this. They essentially piss off their buyers and damage their eBay metrics.

Most likely not.  eBay is basically a personal playground of their C-suite team
