Note: Some may say "The VANKYO Leisure 3W Mini Projector presents a native 800*480P resolution, further enhanced by its 1080P support." and so they call themselves 1080p projectors in the title when in reality they're 480p smh.
My duct tape says otherwise.....

99% of them are 100 or 200 at most.

left negative feedback. everyone should.
Then I watched a review of E30WT and it seems fan is very loud, so I bought 570S too as it's newer (1 year vs 2 year), and seems quieter.
They werent going to ship things at a loss, the only way is if it was walmart and thered be several reasons too, like recycling, storage, the fact that they have deals in place with shipping companies. No one should expect a small company to do this.
The only thing that was messed up, is they obviously use some auto relister to make it seem like their items are scarce, and then once sold it, it relists again. Which is just whatever. I think they did ship the stuff they actually had, it was just thousands had been placed.
Ha the other thing, is they like selectively chose what to ship, I bought some random things, that were 100% not sold out but for whatever reason they just said nah. Meanwhile, they refused to cancel orders I had made, that I had canceled within minutes of buying due to pmt mistakes ect. They refused to cancel those, yet cancelled basically all my orders with absolute zero regard. Which is like wtf dude? Just like zero ethical logic.
Here is the exact playbook they used, and how you can protect yourself if you get caught in it:
Red Flag 1: The Fake "Sold Out" Cancellation
- I ordered a projector for $19. The order was confirmed, and everything looked fine.
- After waiting a full 7 days with zero updates, they suddenly canceled my order, claiming the item was "sold out" or unavailable.
- Almost immediately after canceling, they relisted the exact same projector for $67. Canceling a binding sale just to repost at a 3x price increase feels like a classic bait-and-switch.
Red Flag 2: The Customer Service Trap- After I reached out, they eventually agreed via eBay messages to price-match my original purchase.
- However, when I opened a case to get the promised refund, they sent this message: "Please close [the case] so that we can apply the partial refund... Once closed, please reach out to us right away."
- The Danger: Never close an eBay case before the money is in your account. If you close a case, you cannot reopen it, and your eBay Buyer Protection is permanently voided. Large sellers can absolutely issue partial refunds while a case is open through the eBay Resolution Center. They were relying on me voiding my own protection so they wouldn't have to pay.
How to handle it if this happens to you:- Do not close the case: Hold your ground, wait the required 3 business days, and click "Ask eBay to step in." I did exactly this, and eBay reviewed the message history and forced the refund in my favor.
- Report the seller: Flag their account through eBay for deceptive cancellation practices.
- File a BBB complaint: Keep a paper trail of their bait-and-switch tactics.
- Know your rights: In many states, misrepresenting availability or canceling to raise the price falls under deceptive trade practices. It is worth checking your state's Consumer Protection Act.
Just sharing so others are aware of how they operate. If anyone else has had this happen with this seller, it might be worth comparing notes.Stay sharp, folks.
