14×30 Wood Cabin/Tiny Home on eBay

ajcabinsandequipment joined eBay September 2024. This listing was first made November 25, 2024. It has been revised at least 9 times since then. Do revisions say anything at all about whether something is legit? I sure hope not. I do it all the time.
The description says you can buy the cabins as a “shell or a fully or partial renovated cabin.
Construction photos show the cabin interior being finished.
It looks like this wall will have a kitchen, with all of the outlets.
They use “live edge” trim around the windows and doors.
This photo shows a rustic kitchen and a loft.
Some of the other ajcabinsandequipment eBay listings have image issues. When you click to see the photos bigger, they are actually smaller. It looks like the photos uploaded to eBay are only 300 pixels wide.
Sometimes this means the photos were taken from someone else’s site. In this case, I did not find them somewhere else.
A J Cabins Website
Another similar listing from ajcabinsandequipment includes “Website: ajcabins.com.”
ajcabins.com at first opened to a page partly in Swedish. There is a drop box at the top of the page to translate to EN, but why is Swedish even an option? The site is generated by Wix.com Website Builder. Every time I clicked a link, it went back to Swedish.
The About page: https://www.ajcabins.com/about-4 says

Wix website builder has template sites that you personalize with your own content to make a website. It is very easy to accidentally leave some of the words that come with the template there. It can also be very hard to find where to turn off certain features, like the language dropdown. This does not mean the site is a scam. It usually means the site was built by a business owner or their friend, family or employee with limited time and experience. Wix is pretty easy, but it still takes more time and attention than you might think.
The photos from the 14×30 Wood Cabin/Tiny Home on eBay are on the site, on the 12×30 Hunters Cabin. There are more photos on eBay than there are on the website.

A J Cabins on Facebook
I used Google image search to look up the photos. The earliest version Google found was on Facebook. On Nov 30, 2024 and Dec 20, 2024 it was posted in the Tiny Home / Shed Home and Cabins group by Aleesah James. Her profile says she is the CEO at AJ Cabins & Garages March 10, 2025 to present. AJ = Aleesah James?
She doesn’t have a business page, but she posts to different groups; Aleesah James posts to Facebook Groups
The posts say the cabins are in Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania. The phone number (347) 237-6759 looks like a New York City area code. Her public personal Facebook page says New York, New York is her hometown. So maybe she kept her phone number? Or she is remote?
UPDATE: The posts now have a new phone number (814) 208-4251. This is a legit phone number for Pennsylvania.
Aleesah James Facebook page has recent check-ins from:
- San Juan, Puerto Rico
- Incheon, South Korea
- Jakarta, Indonesia
- Genting Highlands, Bentong
- Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
- Clearfield, Pennsylvania
Traveling doesn’t mean you are a scammer.
If you search AJ Cabins & Garages LLC, you find Facebook posts from Carlos Chamorro about the same cabins. They link to the same website. Carlos Chamorro – AJ Cabins & Garages LLC His personal Facebook page doesn’t really share anything at all.
In investment groups, Aleesah James says, “I’m the owner of AJ Cabins & Garages. I’m looking for investors that are looking to make a return of 12% of profit sales…” Carlos Chamorro says “We build cabins, custom saunas, garages & do commercial work! Our business: AJ Cabins & Garages LLC Send us a message to contact us.”
What is a CEO?
CEO stands for chief executive officer. It is the highest-ranking person in a company or other institution, ultimately responsible for making managerial decisions.
A CEO is not necessarily the owner of a company; the CEO is typically an employee hired to manage the company. The owner has a financial stake and may or may not be involved in the day-to-day operations.
People in small businesses throw a lot of business words around without holding to the more specific meaning. Aleesah James as the CEO and owner at AJ Cabins & Garages does not mean fraud.
A J Cabins Google Image Search
I used Google Image Search to see if the same cabin was shown anywhere else. These cabins are distinctive looking and I did not find that the photos were stolen from someone else’s website.
Oddly, it looks like this was the source for the icon eBay added for Modular & Prefabricated Buildings > Cabins.
Google says the eBay icon image was added on January 14, 2025.
Image search found the same photos on Tiny House Listings: Tiny House Listings: 12×20 Hunters Cabin. Here it says it is in Blackwater, Wisconsin. Same photos, same content, same delivery areas, which do not include Wisconsin.
AJ Cabins & Garages LLC, PA is a verified seller on ShedHUB. There is only one cabin listed. It says the cabin is “Built By 5 Star Structure.”
ShedHUB 12 X 24 Cabins with Natural Wood Siding available at AJ Cabins & Garages LLC
5 Star Structure Sheds for sale near Sweden, PA… Is that why the website is in Swedish? I can find no evidence that Swedish is spoken in Sweden, PA.
ShedHUB lists the address as 1387 PA-403, Northern Cambria, PA 15714. This is the address of A&K Custom Sheds.
Andy Shetler DBA A&G Sheds
1387 ROUTE 403 HWY N N CAMBRIA, PA 15714-9030
(814) 243-8845
This phone number matches the number on the more recent Facebook Posts from Aleesah James.
Someone commented about him “Andy Shetler, took over his dad Rudy’s business…” on the Amish Built Cabin topic on www.huntingpa.com.
Who is A J of A J Cabins?
The Aleesah James on Linked In looks like a photo of the same Aleesah James, CEO at AJ Cabins & Garages that is on Facebook. Her Linked In profile says she is a “Web Design Manager @ SEOAmerica Inc. | Digital Marketing | Content Creation | Videographer.” Her experience shows she was remote. It was most recently updated in 2018, although there are a lot of recent posts and messages. Videos posted more recently look like what’s on the Facebook page, so more than likely the same person.
Aleesah James is also on Contra as a Professional UX Designer. Same photos.
Hi my name is Aleesah and I love website designing! I’ve always had that point of view with art, fashion and of course web designing that most don’t have. I love to help others and especially make there business and ease the life of business owners!
There are a LOT of profiles on different sites of Aleesah James with photos that look like the same person. Not identical photos, but they look like the identical person.
Conclusion
So… what do I think? I think you should be careful before you spend this kind of money. Be careful spending any kind of money.
