Huh? If someone acquires a garlic listing and uses it to sell can openers without updating the listing, it won’t work, because everyone placing orders will think they’re buying garlic, not can openers. The scam only works because the listing matches (approximately, anyway) the sold product. If you start sending can openers labeled as garlic to customers, your return rate will be very high and there won’t be any profit.
