I am selling an iPhone 5 box with new accessories

It has less than 12 hours to go so cannot add anything to the description.

This morning it went from £43 to £420 now. What can I do to stop retards bidding on it presumably thinking it includes a phone? Pictures, description and title shows no phone or mention of a phone

As a seller, you can login and cancel their bids and take it back down to £43 but it will most likely happen again within minutes to go - some buyers are just stupid and don't descriptions properly (presuming you clearly said it was for the box)

end the item, put collection only, it's not worth the risk and if someone really wants it, they will collect it.

Trying selling it on facebook if you use that.

Why, I have not listed it incorrectly and think I could get ~£40 for the new accessories. I doubt there would be as much interest if I did collection only

Well if they bid for a box at £400+ it's their own fault for not reading the description.

yeah I just edited my post mate, didn't see it was box only.

Well, you wont get £400 as they will win the dispute and paypal will take the money back.

I have included questions with answers so hopefully people will see them.

I dont know why they would win the dispute. It would be like me listing a toy car as an actual car and writing 'toy car for sale' in the title, description etc

2 sprouts recently sold for £100! people are daft

If they're too stupid to read properly and just bid happy, take the money.

Is it the one that's listed as factory unlocked with a 16GB capacity and an 8mp camera?

That's a hell of a box :eek:

If I'm looking at the right one, it's also listed in the item categories as "Apple iPhone 5 (Latest Model) - 16 GB - Black & Slate (unlocked) mobile phone".

Apologise to the buyer, explain the mistake, refund money etc - then relist with no item specifics and clearly state BOX ONLY

Mark A · 2 Jan 2013 at 11:22

If it's the listing I have just found then it doesn't really say no iphone included. They could have thought you meant boxed.

Also says Iphone 5, 5 megapixel camera etc in item specifics.

Link to the description?

Loads of people who sell boxes do this as it allows the buyer to buy the right box, they don't want a 32GB box for a 16GB iPhone.

alexakasloth · 2 Jan 2013 at 11:26

How clearly have you listed it as just for the 'box and accessories'?

If it's the one Mark A has found then you're misleading the buyer, and once they realise you will not be paid, or if they have done then will raise a dispute with paypal and most likely win.

Also looks like someone else is listing a box with your photo.

I wouldnt worry if your description and item clearly states that the auction is for just the box and accessories and NOT the phone itself!
