After being really intrigued by the solar panels show in the ebay link i did some research on this companies ebay feedback and then Aliexpress before ordering one and wanted to make sure i shared what i found in case someone in the future looks into this as well.
Here's what i found:
1. Ebay - This company is very similar to many others selling this panel in that are general merchandise resellers of all types of products with a surprising similar feedback rating of ~ 97%. When i dug into this particular resellers feedback specifically for the panel by filtering on
negative feedback last 6 months i found
1000 results. Then when I set the "display results = 200 per page" and searched for "300W Solar" i found multiple results about not receiving item, late delivery, Misleading ad, Fraud
but also found confirmation to what i suspected so i grabbed the image listed below.

#2 On Aliexpress i searched for similar panels and found the same style, panel dimensions, same picture and almost identical output specs but Aliexpress had all these listed at 100 Watts which matches up to the watts / surface area i found pretty much everywhere else.
(Meaning you cant just magically get 3x output in the same size panel over everyone else). So if the 300watt for a single flexible panel sound too good to be true it is. These are 100watt panels and if you are looking to buy you might want to go more direct that the general merchandise resellers.
See sample listing of output, size image likeness to Ebay ad.
