I can’t comment on this specific ebay seller, but once I was looking for one of those car head units that came wit ha 7” screen and GPS, most sellers for the unit I was interested in was around the £250 to £290 price, but I found one selling the same unit for about £600.
I emailed him to ask why his price was more than double what others were selling the same unit for.
the reply I got said something along the lines of: they have run out of this model and instead of taking the add down which would mean re locating it in their eBay inventory when they got new batches in, they kept the add in place but increased the price high enough that no one would order that item, then when it was re stocked, lower the price down to its normal selling price
how true this is I don’t know or ever will know, but its what I was once told
Exactly. Nothing funny at all.This trick is commonly used on amazon and ebay. I leanred: if price is risen 2x, then he has 1-2 pcs left in stock. If price is risen 10x ( Yes, I have seen 10x higher prices ), then he is out of stock.

In this case it says "More than 10 available", not "1 available"...
Dealing with China for re-sellers is not as cheap as most people think.
Did you look into the cost of UK manufacture?So true. It's one of the reasons we will be getting all of our production cameras checked by the manufacturer, independent tester 1, indepedent tester 2, then Emma - Emma will only be a random sample but the other three will be each camera.

To be fair there's actually something in their price.
Returning faulty goods to China in bulk is almost impossible now. Therefore the seller has to cover the faulty cost and the cost of a new one which hammers your margin. Whilst it is a pretty high price I genuinely think these prices are going to start to increase from the good sellers as people simply cannot return to China now easily. We just lost about £4000 worth of faulty goods to Chinese customs. So that's £4000 we have to absorb.
