The seller has this listed as a Gigabyte GA-6BXU Rev 1.5 mainboard.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/195259246091
According to Gigabyte's website the GA-6BXU has only one CPU slot. This one
as you can see has two.
The only dual Pentium II slot main board I could find manufactured by
Gigabyte is the GA-6BXDS shown here:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-6BXDS#ov
Notice the number of electrolytic capacitors beside one of the CPU slots is
different from that shown in the main board for sale.
The seller has not responded to my inquiries which may be a tip off in
itself.
Thanks

It is indeed the PCChips M720 Elpina main board.
I found a clear example in another auction of the exact same board here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/373903331243
It's always interesting how sellers do not know what they have.
This may also be the reason it has not sold.
Maybe the seller is using the listing fees as a tax write off.
There are certainly some real "Eagle Eyes" within this user group. 😊
Thanks again.
