I have recently seen DDR4 RAM from g.skill on ebay for £20 (16gb) and it sounds too good to be true. U have heard of fake GPUs but never fake RAM and there seems to be purchases too and no bad reviews

[...] But there have been 4 sales and no bad reviews and the seller has 100% posotive feedback

According to Ebay the feedback is based on 17 votes only.

 

edit: Looked further, that seller actually has 198 votes/reviews, those 17 are just the ones that happened during the last 12 months, sorry for not seeing it right away. What is interesting though: Only one of those reviews is as a seller, all the others are feedback as a buyer.

Only 1 item for sale, this might be individual seller, but it would be insane for him to sell it at that price, even used.

umm... could it be that he forgot to add one digit infront of the price.

it says 4 sold in 24 hrs. meaning the people who bought it have not even received it yet so they can't leave a review unless they got it. 

also the account can be hacked
