<human>:  Are stolen things ever offered for sale on eBay?
<bot>: Yes, sometimes. A lot of stolen items are offered for sale on eBay, but they often have a fake description written by the person trying to sell the item. People often disguise their identity by registering an eBay account with a fake name and fake address. However, eBay staff sometimes notice when an item being sold is stolen and delist it from the site, which would result in a ban for the seller.
