I was looking for new earbuds and came across these incredibly cheap Samsung Glalaxy buds 2 for ~£20. I assume these are all scams as the actual retail price is well above and even auction prices for used ones are quite a bit higher. How do these scams work? Considering they all accept returns and some sellers have listed multiple of these for some reason.

The items sent will be cheap non-branded earbuds eg fakes
they may not even have Samsung printed on them but they won't be genuine
non branded earbuds can be obtained for about £15

Its also known as keyword spamming, most of the items there are reportable, for inaccurate titles. If I was a gambling man all cheap Chinese rip offs.

Some of these have over 100 sales but no mention of it being fake on the seller's profile. Are they faking sales to seem more legitimate?

Possibly, or the buyers just don't notice. or care.

The listings probably say Earbuds *suitable for* Samsung Galaxy in the listing
Samsung Galaxy is a tablet model, not a brand of earbuds
The seller is keyword spamming - but nobody can claim they are fake "Samsung Galaxy" earbuds as they dont actually exist

Yes, and they are marvel as "unbranded" rather then Galaxy Audio. I guess the lesson is to read the description carefully before buying.
