They said they copied the listing from another seller that had the same product so the pics carried over thats why it was stock photos and the keyboard looked that way lol
While Apple is basically another discount computer company today like HP, Dell, etc., discounts that steep for current SKUs are rare so this is probably some kind of scam.
Unless the seller is an Apple authorized retailer you may have no warranty for the machine.
Buy from an authorized retailer - B&H Photo, Amazon, Best Buy, etc. Many of these retailers offer discounts much better than you'll find on Apple.com, and are trustworthy.

I was always under the impression that if someone has good feedback on Ebay and has a decent amount of sales that its safe
Ebay say they'll always make it right if the item isn't as described - regardless of the listing return policy. Whether that's worth the potential hassle, is up to you.
How/why a seller mainly involved with DVDs & acessories comes across a boxed, configure to order, MBP - then uses generic images, with unidentifiable box pics - could make a person wonder if everything is as it seems.

so it's brand new, or new - just refurbished in the fine print...knock yourself out - buy the MBP then come back & tell us what a deal it turned out to be
And you seriously think this is a legitimate listing? Maybe you should loosen your tie a little.
to be honest, with 500+ Sales on Ebay, Good feedback, I honestly have no reason not too
Check out sold listings, 3D printers, Video cards, Scooters, Dysons, Massage guns, Printers, Kitchen stuff, Apple Pencil, JBL, Stanley cups, Video games and a ton of DVD's telling me its fake stuff and NONE of these people complained and left Neg feedback? little unlikely
to be honest a game or 2 and 1 app are all ill be using it for for now, im sure ill find more stuff to do with it down the road but as of today thats it
