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

Looks to me like it has two CPU slots. Just can't see any manufacturer
markings on the motherboard.
It also has a different number of PCI slots and I/O ports than the Gigabyte
board on their website. Maybe it's made by a different manufacturer that
ended up in the wrong box?
Seller has 100% positive feedback and offers free returns, both as a policy
and in the description.
Maybe give the seller more time to respond?

I emailed the seller on Sep 10.
I asked the seller if he/she would send me an image showing the model number on the MB.
Curious the anti-static bag seems to be missing.
I suppose it's possible Gigabyte did not keep record of every MB revision. Too bad
the archived images on Gigabyte's website are so blurry too.

With a slightly different mix of electrolytic capacitors near the slot sockets.
