I suspect stolen products to be sold there. You sell a product and you know you offer it for a bargin compared to the retail price and then to find out that someone sell it much less than what you could get wholesale. How is this possible?

MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - A New York-based eBay seller was charged with possessing stolen property Monday after a would-be customer found his stolen GPS navigation device up for sale on the online auction site.
Danial Rangkar, 25, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday, a day after he was arrested. Operating under the name, "nydannysjewelry," he is accused of trying to sell dozens of other electronic items, including laptop computers and iPods.
He was ordered held on US$25,000 bail and told to surrender his passport, the Nassau County district attorney's office said.
Rangkar's lawyer did not return a telephone call seeking comment.
The would-be customer, who was not identified, said he checked the serial number when he found the device about 10 days after it was stolen and matched it to the one he had owned, police said Monday.
Police searched Rangkar's home and business, a second hand store in Queens, and found several dozen items they suspect had been stolen out of automobiles in the New York area.
Catherine England, a eBay spokeswoman, said those suspected of illegal activity have their account cancelled immediately. His site was still offering items Monday, and England said it was possible police had yet to notify her company about the arrest.
