Last night, a Google Pixel 7 prototype was listed on the eBay and Facebook marketplace. Both listings were posted by the same person. Here’s a screenshot of the eBay listing (via) Android Police) which showed the location of the seller in McKinney, Texas.
eBay listing was posted on reddit r/android Where it got a lot of headlines. However, the Pixel 7 prototype was previously listed on the Facebook Marketplace, as noted it’s tech todayK Brandon Lee via Twitter. The Marketplace listing was titled as the Pixel 6, but the images showed a pre-production Pixel 7 prototype, as seen by the unusual logo and markings on the hardware.
And here’s what makes me unique because the seller posted it everywhere.

Here’s Brandon Lee’s latest video where he mentions a Facebook Marketplace listing and how the seller’s name and location (Frisco, Texas) were publicly featured on the listing (screenshot of this listing @ 2:10 in the video). This information has been blocked in the video and the listing is no longer available on Facebook. The story begins with approx. 2:02 scar.
It was unclear how the seller received the Google Pixel 7 prototype, and upon closer inspection of not only the Pixel 7, but also the listed device, it can be seen that the images were shared by Google Pixel 7 Pro prototypes via Mishaal Rahman. was captured.

According to another tweet from Brandon, it’s possible that the seller may have multiple Pixel 7 prototype units.
It’s already leaked to me, but I’m working on a full video on it right now.
The person who contacted me actually bought one unit from the seller…which means the seller has multiple units for sale

How the seller obtained these devices is not known, and the listing on eBay was removed by the seller “because the listing contained an error” hours after it went viral on Reddit and was picked up by tech news outlets. .
Here are the images that were on the now-deleted eBay listing. A photo of the Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro taken, confirms with the hardware that Google showed us earlier this month when it previewed the new smartphone hardware. Here is an archived version of the eBay listing as provided Mishal Rahmani on Twitter.
