I recently snagged a brand-new, unopened RTX 5080 on eBay for $1050, which is quite a steal compared to the usual $1300 price. However, I noticed that the brand name in the listing title is misspelled. Thankfully, the product number in the description is correct. Should I be concerned that this could indicate a scam or something suspicious?

Your best bet is to check the seller's reviews. If they have a 100% positive rating and their history shows they've been selling computer hardware for a while, then it might just be a simple typo. If they mainly sell random stuff like furniture or clothes, that's a red flag!
On eBay, I've scored some great finds with misspelled listings like yours! If the product number checks out, you should be fine. Just ensure you trust the seller based on their history and ratings.
It’s likely just a typo. I've seen this happen before and often it just means fewer people find the listing, which can lead to better deals. eBay has buyer protections, so even if the listing mentions 'no returns,' you're generally covered if something's off.
Yeah, that's a good point! If they have a lot of feedback from tech sales, that's a good sign.
