I was on the Ethereum mining subreddit this morning and someone posted a link to an ebay page showing an asic miner for Ethereum.
Here's the Reddit post:

I have flagged the page as a scam.
It looks like a box with fans and cables that don't go anywhere. No info regarding hash rate. Nothing.
Be aware and be safe!

Yeah that would be too clever but I have explained everything to ebay, my account is going back up with all the listings by the way. I will make sure to highlight the hash rate and to explain what ASIC is on the ETHEREUM listing, thanks for that insight into quality assurance.
how about learning what an ASIC is you d**b s**t https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit
