I'm not from the US, what's wrong with it?

It's a joke reference to sellers who will list items for very cheap, but with very high postage costs, to try to trick people into viewing their product more favourably. Nothing actually wrong in this instance.

I don't know if it's changed or not, but back when I used eBay all the time, they took their cut out of the sale price of the item, shipping charges were untouched. So if you sold something for a dollar and charged $100 shipping, eBay's percentage only came out of the dollar.

With the "not for resale" stamp clearly shown to boot.

No, the stamp is on the back.
The power button on the top is to boot.

TBH the front looks fine to me, though there's a strong likelihood of accidentally touching the touchpads while using the thumb sticks.

What I'm glad they fixed up are the back/grip buttons, as this prototype is "push" only, where as I almost exclusively use them as "squeeze". These are missing the L-shape where the button is built in to not just the back plate, but also the inside of the hand grip.
