Look what was bought.
You don't need to if you just read what it says.
I don't think it is that stupid.
If I didn't know what I was looking for I wouldn't have noticed it.
But if you were really going to bid surely you'd read the smal print all the way to the end (unlike me)? And don't e-bay protect you against things like this?
I doubt it, as it does actually tell you in the description what they are actually selling.
But if you are parting with so much cash you READ the description surely.
Apparently, those who bought it didn't.
Should always read the small print.
The fraudsters should be named, shamed, branded and then have their limbs and genitals carefully lopped off with a flymo.
Thats just unbelieveable, they should not get away with that.
So yeah just take care folks. If it seems too good to be true...
But tbh, the people who bidded on it shouldn't be so damn stupid. I always read the small print on things..they should too. They should be more careful with their money.
I managed to read it through and see what the auction was for... and I wasn't as careful as I would be if I was spending £400
:rolleyes:
True. But it still isn't really the "right" thing to do.
What defence can the seller have apart from 'the seller didn't read the auction properly? What kind of mind would the seller have to start the auction with that sort of intention in the first place?
I've never had a problem with eBay. People will try and rip you off wherever you are - buyer beware and all that.
yea, it isnt right, but that doesnt make a difference when it comes down to it as he still lost his money!
some parents might be rlly trying to find one hard for their kids for christmas or something and some sad wanker on there is ripping them off...
It is made harder if u arent entirely sure about the consoles either, would probs be taken in by all the statistic crap they give and go for it :no:
Designer clothing is definitely a no-no from ebay, although i wouldnt buy anything off there unless it was something peculiar. Browsing through the armani and stone island sections and checking the bids on items where labels have been switched onto stuff out of primark is hilarious.
