Scammers on eBay use fake sales to increase their feedback score,
a way to rate the reliability of sellers and buyers.  In theory,
a circle (or fake IDs used by one person) could buy and sell
items and drive up each other's identity's feedback scores.

Once it's high enough to instill confidence, they'll sell something
more popular than solder, like a laptop, then run with the money
without delivering.
