6 week Summer Classes anyone?
Anybody have experience with taking 2x 6 week classes at a time? I want to do 4 classes this summer (2 first half then 2 second half) or does this entirely depend on the type of class

My first MBP M2 MAX (window user)
Just picked up a used MacBook Pro 16” M2 Max for $1,500 on eBay. Was this a bad , fair or good deal?
SPECS:
Apple M2 Max
12-core CPU (8 performance + 4 efficiency)
38-core GPU
32GB unified memory
1TB SSD
WHAT I CHECKED SO FAR:
Cosmetics : It seems perfect, I can’t find a dent or scratch on the body or screen
Performance test:
CPU SINGLE CORE benchmark : 2858
CPU MULTI CORE benchmark : 15320
GPU benchmark : 90393
Battery Health : 102 cycles with 96% capacity
Pixel screen test: no dead pixels or any pixel issues
Ports: don’t have anything to test them with beside my phone charger since this didn’t come with a MacBook charger
Keyboard & trackpad: works good
Speakers : very little crackle noise
Microphone + camera : Works good
Is there anything else I should check before my return window closes? Also open to any tips or things to know as someone coming from Windows haha so far I notice it feels a bit confusing and some shortcut keys I see don’t work as it did on Windows 😔 My most demanding tasks will be some 4k editing and 3D indie game development with UNITY so If anyone has experience with that I would appreciate your input on how well this machine I have holds up, but anyways thank you for your time reading this!

So around 2pm I saw my bank alerting me I’m getting a refund from eBay , I was surprised because It was supposed to get shipped today so I check what happened and I saw this message from the seller. It annoyed me because they message me this at 6:30am so they didn’t even give me 24 hours at least.
I did place an order on eBay (about $1500 item) , and they told me I need to verify my identity as a security step due to me not having much history in buying items (this is true as I only bought a cup for my girlfriend) , but I feel like sellers can’t ask for such personal info , isn’t that eBay job not theirs? Is this a scam where they use my personal info to maybe get this refund funneled to their account instead? It’s hard to tell as the seller I bought from haves 21k followers , sold 507k items with a 99.4% positive feedback. The item I bought also was eBay refurbished so I had a year warranty on it so everything felt official but this message threw up some big red flags to me
