I'm considering purchasing an RTX 3090 with 24GB for my AI projects and want to find the best deal on eBay. However, I'm seeing a wide price range, from about $500 for used cards to over $1200. There are even new cards listed for around $500, but they all seem to come from sellers with zero reviews, which makes me suspicious. Are these listings trustworthy, or should I be cautious?

If you're looking for value, remember that some tasks can be managed with cloud solutions. If you’re only experimenting with models, and you’re on a budget, maybe consider alternatives before splurging on a high-end GPU.
In my area, decent second-hand 3090s or Ti cards typically sell for around €850 to €1200. Honestly, if you're seeing a $500 deal, you’re probably looking at a scam or a bad deal.
Realistically, you're not going to get a $3500 card for $500. Just think about it. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I wouldn't trust any 3090 priced at $500. Legitimate offers usually range from $700 to $900+, so be wary of those low prices.
It's pretty clear that you can't find these GPUs at (or below) the new MSRP, especially from an eBay seller with no feedback. It's best to avoid those.
