Are stolen things ever offered for sale on eBay?

Yes, stolen items do sometimes appear on eBay. It's easy for buyers to be fooled into purchasing items that have been stolen because eBay does not have the resources to screen every item sold. eBay relies on users to police the site and report any suspicious listings. Buyers should be aware of the risks of purchasing items on eBay and research the item to make sure it is legitimate before making a purchase.
